A new collection from Free Spirit has arrived: it's Christmas! Yes, in July. The Cotswold Collection features classic William Morris prints in festive colors, and even if (like me) you don't observe (or you're not ready to think about the inevitable passage of time?) they're perfect for any season. Strawberry Thief is my favorite textile design EVER, and those rich reds suit it so well!
More wonderfully wintry fabric wings its way to the store as I type this-- including a super-cute project panel we've made into a kit. Remember, folks: the best time to make something for Christmas is as far ahead as possible. |

SPOTLIGHT ON OUR SEMI-ANNUAL CLEARANCE SALE!

We've had a last-minute cancellation for next week's summer sewing camp for kids of all skill levels! Kids with little or no sewing experience will learn to thread and operate a sewing machine and get a foundation of sewing skills, plus learn hand sewing stitches, ironing skills, and how to work with felt as they make a simple pillow, drawstring bag, stuffie, and more! Please call the store to register. This session takes place between 9:30 AM to 12:30pm the week of Monday, August 5th to Friday, August 9th.
