New Review

I just posted a new book review on our website for this volume. This is a new-to-me publisher (one I'm going to look over carefully:) - and the book looks pretty good. :) Take a break and read the review - worth a cup of tea on this rainy day! ENJOY!

Charm Treasures

It never rains but it pours here at Seminole Sampler! This afternoon's delivery brought us some more fabric goodies. :)

From Free Spirit Fabrics comes four different sets of Charm Squares. These are 6" squares - 30 of them in each set.

There are Solid color charms:

There are Reads-as-Solid Prints:

There are two different colorways of Kaffe Fassett Classic Designs:

These generous sized charm squares are really useful - for a spot of lots of colors in your stash, to make one or more of the beautiful charm square designs available today, to make a baby quilt or special gift - creative magic!

Delightful Australia and Wine Valley

I just got back to the store since Monday and found that we have received some wonderful bolts!

First, from M&S Textles of Australia, some glorious Australia Dreamtime prints we've been waiting for (we received the first half of this shipment last month):

(Stella, a close up):

(and the all-over):

(women digging for honey ants):

(kangaroos dreaming):

(bush tucker):

 

(bush sultana):

Next, from South Seas Imports, a collection of Wine Valley prints:

(a complex panel-print):

(individual sections of the panel):

The wine bottle shown above can be sewn into a gift bag and the instructions for that are printed on the panel, too:

There is also a very nice border (don't overlook fussy-cutting possibilities:):

Also a very nice matching red print you can use for borders, lining, etc:

I just finished watching (on Netflix) the four part PBS special on the history of the Medici family in Italy - those beautiful fields remind me pleasantly of that setting!

It's so nice to have these pretty new fabrics in the store! Please take the time from your busy schedule to drop by this week and enjoy the color bounty - I guarantee you will enjoy your visit!
