WELCOME SPRING (and Daylight Savings) with our March celebration of the season – our annual department of Spring Flowers, Baby Animals, and Easter fabrics, plus gorgeous Tropical Orchids!
Our last digital printed collection from Hoffman just BLEW out of the warehouse (not reorderable…boo hoo) so be sure to order Rock Ridge now if you want it in your stash.
Asian textile collectors will enjoy the “Indigo Faux Shibori” collection – also in Teal and Charcoal/Black.
Mix them up with yummy slubbed yarn-dyes in the Manchester Chambray – 9 colors for an Asian color palette – a HOT quilting trend.
Graceful Japanese themes have inspired Greeting the Moon and Cherry Blossom collections.
If you love London quality Lawn but hate the high prices, check out the 3rd collection of London Calling by Kaufman. You’ll fall in love with these dainty florals all over again…at an irresistible price.
What’s Black and White and Red allover, with Scottie Dogs?
“Best in Show” from Greta Lynn of course!
If you are into collecting every single color possible in 5″ Charm squares, (and if you LOVE gold metallic) jump on this one-time purchase of EVERY COLOR COLLECTION of Northcott’s Artisan Spirit Sandscapes! Snap up the Artisan Strips for more piecing projects.
If you are a WICKED or Wizard of Oz fan, or if you’ve enjoyed the WICKED quilt challenge that was on display in the show’s Broadway NYC Theater, you’ll want to own a copy of the exhibit’s catalog with ALL 114 Gravity-Defying quilts.

Don’t forget to “Spring Forward” and turn your clocks forward an hour tonight, for Daylight Savings. (unless you live in Arizona, Hawaii, or outside the US)
This week the Spring Robins showed up in a flock in our neighborhood, clearly confused by several weeks worth of snowstorms still covering the ground.
I kind of cheated because I went to balmy Mexico City for several days over last weekend – I hope you got the newsletters I’ve sent from Mexico over the last week. (If not, head on over to our new eQuilter blog where all my travel essays and free pattern newsletters are posted for your review)
Many thanks to Eduardo and Lourdes for hosting my visit to Mexico City, and also to Sonia and Robert for touring the city with me as friends and translators. It was great to see the exhibits of Mexican and Brazilian quilts, and to see what many of you are doing with our eQuilter fabrics!
Very special thanks to the wonderful quilters and fashion sewing fans who came to my lectures and gave me lots of Mexican hugs and kisses! You made me feel so welcome and appreciated – it was a very special visit because of you all.
Right now I am planning my visit to the Birmingham UK Festival of Quilts. My lecture will be on Saturday Aug 8 at 4 pm. Sophie and I will also be at the Friday night Fashion Show, and the Saturday night Shakespeare outing, so I hope to see many of you there as well! Sophie will be 13 by then (!!!) so if you have kids her age, bring them along too.
I have spent the last 3 months with engineers, scientists, toxicologists, doctors, parents, sick teachers and sick kids, trying to bring transparency to the poison gas issue at Casey Middle School. Yes it is just unbelievable that it is still being denied by the district. I only mention this because so many of you have asked about this.
Tuesday March 10th will be our 16 year anniversary, since we opened with 300 bolts in the basement of our home. Watch for a special anniversary newsletter that will go out late Tuesday night.
In the meantime, enjoy our Anniversary Sale and help us to celebrate over $1.2 million raised for Charity in the last 16 years!
sharing your Passion for Fabric…
Luana and Paul
