Just In

We're back!  Holiday down time has been enjoyed, inventory has been counted and we're ready for a new year.  We received some great new pieces on tubes right before we closed up a couple weeks ago.  Generally the pieces on tubes are end runs from designers.  These tend to be more apparel appropriate fabrics.  They're really fun for me to pick out for a couple of reasons.  The first being that I have no idea at all what I'll be shown when I meet with my reps and I can imagine these pieces made up into a wider variety of things than the quilting weight cotton prints.  The black and cream piece above I envisioned as a vintage Vogue pattern of some sort, maybe a 1940s era design, with simple lines, or maybe the Colette Peony dress or a simple pencil skirt....so many options!

A few more interesting pieces--a cream, soft wool with these mauve flowers every so often.  I love the combination of a wool with tropical looking flowers.  The piece next to it is a two-faced denim and golden velveteen.  Oh my.  Really, who doesn't want some of that in their life?  We just may be seeing a sample whipped up with this soon...stay tuned!  We have a number of lovely wools still in stock, many of which would stitch up beautifully into a cozy hooded scarf.  Remember that fantastic project?

We're excited for this coming year.  We have some new things planned and we're bringing back some other things--like the Organization of the Month program.  I'll be posting soon about January's organization and how you can help us support them.  Happy New Year to you all!
