Antique Fair

There are just some fabric designers we gravitate towards when buying for the shop. Blackbird Designs is one of those designers. The soft, muted colors that richly grace the beautiful florals of these Moda fabrics evoke that vintage feel of a lovingly well-worn quilt. Their latest line, Antique Fair, which arrived in the shop this week, is no exception. This basket quilt made from the collection is a perfect example.....

A Quick Reminder.....

Don't forget to stop by and visit our booth at the Scott City Shop Hop on Saturday, Feb. 19 at the Wm. Carpenter Building in Scott City. Lots of kits, precuts and more. Check out our new "Critter Cuddle Blankets" featuring cute monkeys, bears, dogs and frogs.

2011 Color of the Year

Each year Pantone announces the color of the year. The big reveal was today and the new color of the year is......wait for it......did you guess right......Yes, it's Honeysuckle!!! Declared the color for all seasons, Honeysuckle is a bright and bold pink color.

"Courageous. Confident. Vital. A brave new color, for a brave new world. Let the bold spirit of Honeysuckle infuse you, lift you and carry you through the year. It's a color for everyday - with nothing 'everyday' about it, " Pantone declares.

Other colors to watch for.....Bamboo, Emberglow, Phlox, Cedar, Deep Teal, Coffee Liquer, Nougat, Orchid Hush and Quarry. Watch for these colors this fall in the new fabric lines!
