We are zooming into February which is a short month with a sweet holiday in the middle –
Valentine’s Day<\/a> is on the horizon!

It is also Black History month, and I am highlighting 2 books in stock by Dr. Carolyn Mazloomi:<\/a>
And Still We Rise: Race, Culture, and Visual Conversations
Visioning Human Rights in the New Millennium

We have a TON of new blenders this week – it is a good time to check out our New Color Palette category<\/a>. (which is updated every week!)

Please note also that our 40″ wide Evolon (sold by the yard)<\/a> is back in stock. We also carry sample packs, and 80″ wide. If you follow my artwork<\/a>, my last few pieces have had painted Evolon tops! (with applique and then stitching on top of the painted Evolon.)

I am also using Gentle Fuse<\/a> to cut detailed shapes on batiks and other fabrics, with my Silhouette Cameo digital cutting machine, and 54″ Mistyfuse<\/a> for my larger art quilts. (For those of you who have been asking.)

In case you missed it – check out “Just Wanna Copyright – For Makers<\/a>” by Elizabeth Townsend. The corresponding exhibit just opened at the New England Quilt Museum.

There has been much discussion about the SAQA Red exhibit this last week. If you are curious, we still have this exhibit catalog in stock here.<\/a>

We are still collecting comfort quilts for those who lost their homes during Hurricane Helene in NC. You can either drop donations off *in person* at our office, or ship directly to this NEW address for distribution:

Black Mountain, NC 28711
