Corliss has released the third block pattern from her current work in progress "Celebrating Mary Brown". The Lovebird Block features 2 gorgeous little birds in a branch of leaves and flowers all on a 10" block. The complete quilt pattern will be released early 2016, but in the meantime if you are looking for a small project, or you want a head start on the full quilt, consider one or more of the 10 blocks that Corliss will release over coming weeks.
Our 4 Starter Packs for the Mary Brown patterns have been so popular, we've had to recut a few times already. Our latest offering has some different fabrics and prints, but all the same colour combinations. All are perfect for making a start on this very special applique quilt.
If you are planning to make the entire quilt once the full pattern is available, and you would like to use Corliss' choice of background fabric, we have plenty arriving in November/December. Just
phone us at the shop or
email us to reserve yours.
New on our shelves this week is
Isabella by Jo Morton. This collection of 11 delectable prints come in musk pink through to a faded rose, warm honey beige and caramel, and clotted cream. There is a wonderful zig-zag geometric stripe, perfect for fussy cutting, and a beautiful feature floral, supported by a balanced mix of prints and flowers. We love the faded hues of this range and expect it won't last long.

From Renee Nanneman comes Flowerpress; a collection of very pretty and very useful "backrounds" all with delicate coloured designs. There are tiny flowers and leaves,an intricate paisley style floral and itsy bitsy geometrics in a mix of aqua, green, gold, light red and tangerine. These would work equally well with fresh modern colours and prints, or with soft pretty florals, spots, and stripes. Or a quick dip in some black tea and they would sit with reproduction shirtings.

With lots of blocks still to make, Corliss has been busy stitching every night after work. So that means no room on mum's lap after a busy day in the shop and Sam definitely looks
less than impressed! Have a great weekend everyone.
