five signs that spring is here!

1. Spring colors and designs. We love Aneela Hoey's new line "Walk in the Woods" with its fresh colors and cute animal and mushroom drawings. Spring is the perfect season for a walk in the woods! 

2. New pillowcases! Put the flannel sheets back in the closet and make yourself some new bedding. We decided to celebrate the beautiful weather with the Peanuts gang. 

3. Organic fabrics! With Earth Day coming up next month (April 22), Spring is the prime time to be green. Check out all of Birch's latest designs at the store. 

4. There's no need for socks when it's warm outside, so why not use your old knits to make sock monkeys? If you don't want to make a new toy, try a new picnic blanket made with these jumping monkeys. 

5. Bunnies! Our downstairs costume shop is getting ready for Easter with our full bunny costumes. Call if you need to rent one - they're going fast!

Wild for Wonky Blocks

Here at the store, we've been making the most of winter by finishing lots of new projects. For our first mission, we took our beloved "Wonky Block" quilt and gave it a bright and crazy color palate. 

After each block was made, it was time to arrange them. Balancing all those wild colors proved to be much more difficult than expected. It was like playing sudoku but with colors instead of numbers! Whew!

The backing was picked out, and everything was quilted together. Now we just needed to decide on a binding fabric...

 This dark eggplant Alexander Henry piece got the final vote. Doesn't it just look so great with the Erin McMorris backing?

TA DA! The finished quilt! We just like to add as much color as possible to the store, and this certainly does the job! 

Come by the store to see it in person! We also have the pattern and fabric kits for you to make your own. And stay tuned for lots more to see! 

We just got in some of Sweetwater's new Reunion line. Something about it reminds of summertime. Perhaps decorations for a 4th of July picnic? 

The banner fabric is just asking for a party. Use these fabrics or any others you see and make your own! We carry a great pattern from the studios at Empty Bobbin.
