So much good stuff!
March was a very busy month for new product arrivals.
500 tubes of new buttons went out on the sales floor @14 Main.
Guess what we figured out? There’s room for more! Let us know what
else you’d like to see and we’ll try to find it.
For those of you that do wool applique, we have a basket full of wool 5” charms to give you
plenty of options for your small-piece projects.
Also @14 Main, more yummy Berroco yarn: Mykonos, Corsica, and Modern Cotton; and
related pattern books. A new line for us is Mayu from Amano Yarns. Just six colors for now...a
super soft blend of royal alpaca, cashmere, and silk. Someone asked how can you tell the difference
between ‘royal’ alpaca and regular alpaca? Of course I had the answer: “By their crowns!”
Also from Amano Yarns, for that special someone (even if that’s YOU), we have Apu Pure White
100% Imperial Alpaca...very luxurious.
New fabric arrivals @9 Main include several new novelty prints: flamingos, food trucks, project labels,
coffee, sunglasses, Mickey & friends, and Winnie the Pooh.
Tired of the same old color wall blenders? Then check out the new Basically Patrick blenders from RJR—
great new prints and always great colors. Another new blender from Andover, that’s just a little funky, is their
Sun Print line...very fun!
A great new wine collection: Tuscany by Color Principle from Henry Glass. It includes a beautiful panel
that would make great placemats or a wall hanging.
I know it doesn’t seem like the right time of year, but we’ve got a great new flannel collection: Ric Rac
Paddywack by Kim Diehl for Henry Glass. Two panels and cute coordinates (both boy and girl colors)...super
quick baby projects. Also new from StudioE: Color Catchers yarn-dyed flannel—great patterns and very soft.
And to try something a little different, we have half-yard cuts
of Crossroads Denim by Amy Barickman (of Indygo Junction).
Great for bags. If you like it let us know...we might bring it in on
the bolt if there’s enough demand.
New from Studio E: Colour Me Cotton 122” wide 100%
cotton batting; Bond Tight, low loft, double laminated polyester
batting—great for tied quilts; and polyester fiberfill by the bag for
making dolls or stuffed animals.
Plus a whole lot more...you’ll just have to stop by and check
it out. Hope to see you soon!
Every month...just for the fun of it!
