Here's what else is new at
Quilter's Stash...
Quilter's
Stash welcomes our newest staff members: Melanie Egan and Janet
Farrell. Melanie is an avid quilter with an excellent sense of color and
design. Janet is a quilting wizard who can help
get you out of a bind. We're
so glad to have both of them on our team!
We have gorgeous new fabric collections in store and more
arriving weekly.
We also have a complete department of Woolfelt™,
Wool Wisps™ (wool roving), and needle felting tools. You can try your hand at this hot new craft!
There are plenty of classes and how-to books to inspire you.
Making a quilt for a new baby?
Check out Garden Tales, Beatrix Potter’s classic Peter Rabbit with his friends; Baby Steps by Pat Yuille and My Sweet Baby by Ann Sutton/Bunny Hill Designs – all in soft pastel colors.
If you prefer bright, vivid colors, we’ve got Jungle Friends by Laurie Godin for Northcott.
There’s a neat border stripe – just quilt and add
binding
and you’ve got an instant baby quilt… great for a
soon-to-happen baby shower! (We like the crocs!)
And
don't forget Paddington Bear! He's so cute, and we
have a book panel and a matching border stripe with lots of
coordinates!
New “Threads”…
Here
are some of our newest and hottest fabrics, as of February 2008:
* Under the Rainbow and Over the Rainbow by
Timeless Treasures. This
unique fabric line brings the classic Wizard
of Oz film to fabric.
*
P&B's
Pop Parade is a luscious blend of bright jazz-inspired
colors and
patterns.
*
Surf and Sand by Marcus Brothers, in trendy aquas and tans.
*
Let Henry Glass take you to Antique Africa, a
collection of sophisticated yet
rustic patterns.
*
And, speaking of sophisticated, that's exactly the essence of
Wilmington's
Aged Elegance.
*
Alexander Henry, one of the most creative fabric companies around
today, has
shipped us Turtle Bay. This
appealing group of fabric reptiles will charm you
right out of your shell.
*
Spill the Beans is a really HOT line of coffee-inspired
(and who among us does
that not apply to?) prints. Mocha Java,
ya-ya!
*
For kids' quilts, come and see Spacebots, designed by Jill
Webster. Our new
Kids' Fabrics Department is in our back
classroom (still a "work-in-progress" -
but don't let that stop you).
We also have gorgeous new
batiks arriving regularly.
We receive shipments of new Asian fabrics from Kona Bay
regularly as well. We can hardly believe how beautiful these fabrics are, and
it’s a special treat with each shipment to open the box and see what’s
new! Come and discover along with us!
We’ve listed just a few of our new collections here.
We’ve also got great bright tone-on-tone blender prints,
plenty of new black-and-white prints, and white-on-white and
neutral background fabrics, too.
Visit
us often to be on hand to see new collections as they arrive!
March
'08: JUST
ARRIVED -- HUNKY FIREMEN!
Alexander
Henry's new fabric "Ready for Action" is ready for you!
We sold out of the Hunky Construction Workers pretty fast, and now
there's a new "Hunk" in town!
Where's
the fire? In your sewing room, with these five-alarm
guys! ;)
Don't miss out...!

"The Very Hungry Caterpillar" collection is
expected
to be shipped in mid-June.
New Thread...
Come see all 25 new colors of King Tut quilting
thread. With a full
line of 75 colors, one of them is sure to be perfect for your next
project! We also
carry the full line of Bottom Line bobbin thread,
and all colors of Sulky Blendables in both the 30-weight
and 12-weight.
Quilt
Documentation Day at NEQM

England Quilt Museum in Lowell on the third Friday of

raises awareness and appreciation of quilts and their significance
to their makers, within a cultural and artistic context.
Fee is $10 for NEQM members; $15 for visitors.
Reservations necessary; call 978-452-4207 x15.

Our Featured
ITEM OF THE MONTH:

Wonder Tape
Don't
get stuck! Use Wonder
Tape
instead of glue!
Easily adheres fabric to fabric -- No waiting for glue to dry!
Clear Wonder
Tape
dissolves in water, and it won't gum up your needle!
Especially useful for "pinning" where real pins would
get in the way.
Ask
Sue and hear how well it works for her.
Then try it and see for yourself!
[Hat
Tip to Laurel for turning us on to this neat little notion!]
