Moving to the side of the booth, this eye-catching Blackbeard’s Pirates display featured to VERY large sharks (Pattern: McCall’s 7103). Those Pirate quilts are just too fun!
We are excited to introduce another amazing October Afternoon collection called “Farm Girl.” With cute little piglets, canning jars, cherries and fresh florals, this collection is a keeper!
Fancy & Fabulous, designed by Fancy Pants Designs, is another vintage-inspired collection, featuring vintage sewing patterns and typeface, art deco inspired geometrics and a classic soft yet boldly contrasting color palette.
Doodlebug Designs has come up with another “love-ly” collection called “Love Bugs,” perfect for Valentine’s Day. As always, their miniature motifs are oozing with cuteness!

There was lots of excitement generated about Andrea Muller’s new “Vintage Kitchen” collection. I mean, who wouldn’t go nuts over little images of vintage Pyrex?
This seems to be the season for soft yet strong and dramatic color palettes. Carina Gardner has hit it out of the ball park with this winning color combination in her brand new “Apricot & Persimmon” collection.
Of course, we didn’t forget the boys! Designed by Deena Rutter, these two classic masculine collections, “Offshore” (left) and “Wheels 2” (right), will satisfy boys from 0-99!

“Four Corners” is a visually striking collection, featuring southwestern motifs and colors.
“Dream and a Wish” is reaching maximum cuteness with princesses, castles, and a fun little panel that makes a doll, her dresses, a little bed and even an armoire to hold her clothes. All of this folds up into a convenient tote.
“Botanique” is a stunning abstract floral collection designed by Lila Tueller. The colors and designs are rich and sophisticated, easily translating into beautiful items for children and adults alike.
We just love Lulabelle! Designed by Dodi Lee Poulson, Lulabelle boasts a bright, modern color palette, classic geometrics, and a little bit of quirky fun – the effect of which is pure eye-candy!
