Beautiful fabric today....a gorgeous collection of small prints in a fabulous range of colours...this is "Downstairs at Downton" from Andover Fabrics, and there are 14 great shirting style small prints to tempt us.

We also have 1/8 packs of these fabrics, all 14 for $42.00...and what a great way to get a little bit of all of them....this is a fantastic range and these small prints are going to be very handy in the stash.


Good news from Quiltmania...a new book from Reiko Kato, "Little Stories of Cats".  In true Reiko Kato style this book is full of the cutest projects...if you want to make quirky little pictures for grandchildren or you just love cats you will find it hard to resist the projects in this book.

It is $65.00 and will be on our website soon, but if you can't wait to surprise the cat lover in your life you can call or email us at the shop.

Christmas is just around the corner....and this year we have decided to enlist Sammy's help in the countdown to Christmas....each week we will be bringing you Sammy's top tips and recommendations for the perfect Christmas gifts.
We have already mentioned how glad we are to have Chuck Nohara's book, "2001 New Patchwork Patterns"  back in stock....it is such a fantastic resource for any sewing room and it seems Sammy agrees with us as it is his first choice for a perfect gift.

Sammy was full of enthusiasm and happy to pose with his Christmas gift pick of the week....but then he needed a little yawn...

and then it was time for a snooze...job done.  Have a great weekend everyone.
