Hawthornethreads

I was thinking about getting some fabric for my seven-year-old niece for Christmas. She's beginning to sew and I've already sent her some of my scraps, but I wanted some new pieces, something to inspire her. Well, just last week I received an e-mail from hawthornethreads
informing me that they have set up a new website full of gorgeous fabrics. I had bought from their etsy shop, and I can vouch for their excellent communication and fast shipping too!
How about a bundle of fat quarters? The one above is Holiday Magic Fat Quarter Bundle in Light.
This one is the Deer Valley Charm Pack...imagine the adorable things little hands could make with these. Tiny doll clothes, collages, gift tags, and so much else. There is an extensive choice of fabrics at Hawthornethreads, and I haven't decided what to get for Sarah. In the meantime, I've registered for their giveaway. You can register here.

Fabric Shopping




I went to the outdoor market yesterday (located on the peninsula between the Rhone and the Saone rivers) to buy some fabrics for my spring collection of bird pillows. My favorite fabric stand had some sumptuous silk blends in bright colors: the rich red flowered fabric is gold on the other side, the pistachio green has a raised vine pattern, and the blue one has pumpkin and peach accents. In decorator fabrics, bright colors and romantic patterns are in for the coming spring. In France, of course!
