    Eden from Riley Blake is here

    We just got Eden by Gabrielle Neil, an Australian designer for Riley Blake. I'll admit the Shibori prints are what first grabbed my attention but then I saw that deep avocado green, the pretty berries, the bold colour palette and I was hooked.

    This fetching group of 9 prints will spark up your next quilt project. It would be gorgeous in this quilt pattern where you can see the fabrics and appreciate the lights and darks, warm and cool shades. We have yardage and bundles.

    Hoist The Sails is in the shop

    Ahoy!  I love me some good pirate jargon, and even more a good pirate fabric collection. "Hoist The Sails" has me babbling with its mad crew of seaworthy pirates (male, female, alive, skeletal), the action packed main print, excellent blenders, and a wonderful stripe. You can have a lot of fun with a collection like this.
