Shelburne Falls: I feel a nostalgic quilt coming on!

Denyse Schmidt has done it again.  Her latest collection for Freespirit Fabrics is Shelburne Falls.  Another very clever line with the prettiest florals mixed perfectly with brilliant geometrics.  Denyse has a great way of making you feel at home with her designs.  She manages a winning mix of nostalgic familiarity and refreshing modernity... it’s all rather clever and she should definitely get a medal of some sort.  Perhaps I should commission a ‘Backstitch Thinks You’re Brilliant’ medal... she would definitely get one!  Lizzy House would get one too... Hmm, I’ll ponder on that one.

Anyhow, Shelburne Falls is in the shop right now and we have four of these delicious prints, each in two colourways, on the shelf.  Yardage is already being snapped up for summer dressmaking (all of these prints will make perfect dresses and blouses) and for those quilters you can get the fat quarter bundle here.

Go forth and make pretty things!

The Calm Before The Storm...



Sunsplash Bundle



It's like the calm before the storm here at Backstitch HQ.  I can feel the tension building.  I had to take a break in ordering new fabric lines when I knew we were moving house, and then of course on the other side there is always a little bit of a lag.



Beachcomber Bundle

However, I am waiting on a stock EXPLOSION!!  Honestly, I've gone a bit bonkers and I can't wait.  We're going to be stocking some exciting things like Aneela Hoey 'A Walk in the Woods', Cloud 9 'Alegria', Denyse Schmidt 'Flea Market Fancy Legacy 2012', Lizzy House 'Hello Pilgrim', Ellen Luckett Baker 'Quilt Blocks' and Lucie Summers 'Summersville'... and much more!  We're also getting in 15 of the most delicious colourways of the Moda Crossweaves.



Fine and Dandy Bundle

So, a small apology that I have let things run out rather, but just you wait!!  Eeek!!

In the mean time, I've put a couple of new bundles together: Fine and Dandy for tones of blue and green; Sunsplash for the killer blue and yellow combo; and, Beachcomber for the yellows.
