Floral Patchwork Fabrics

We have reorganised our patchwork floral fabrics, so you can now find a much greater range of fabrics with floral designs. There are fabrics with flowers from big blooms to tiny little ditsy flowers. We have put all the floral fabrics from designers such as Philip Jacobs, Kaffe Fassett, Amy Butler and Heather Bailey all in one place.

Soul Blossoms from Amy Butler

Well luckily we didn't have long to wait. All the Soul Blossoms fabrics are now in stock and Ken is busy cutting the packs.

Amy Butler Soul Blossoms Fabrics

Soul Blossoms the new range of fabrics by Amy Butler for Rowan fabrics is arriving soon. We will be taking the entire range of patchwork and quilting weight fabrics for Amy's new bright and colourful designs. The fabrics should be with us in early February and you can preview all the fabrics on the website already. As well as selling the Soul Blossoms fabrics by the metre we will also be doing three fat quarter packs, a charm pack and a strip roll. I will update the blog when the bolts come through the door.

Amy Butler Love Fabric from Rowan

The Amy Butler Love Fabric range from Rowan is now in stock. Amy describes the love fabrics as a marriage by design coming from a love affair of rich, soulful, organic florals and architectural prints passionately inspired by my recent trips to Indonesia and England. Rich tropical colors with ethnic imprints, and elegance found in over the top florals like full roses and exploding peony blossoms join together in an optimistic celebration of print and color.

The Love fabrics are available by the metre or we have three fat quarter packs. Love Heart Fabrics, Love Soul Fabrics or a combined Heart and Soul Fat Quarter Pack.
 

We also have a quilt kit of Amy's Sexy Hexy Love Quilt that includes patterns and instructions and all the fabrics to complete the quilt top and binding. The finished quilt measures 178 x 189cm - it's 3 hexes high by 3 hexes wide.

These Love fabrics really are bold, bright and breezy, and give a very different look to some of Amy Butler's Bag or Pillow Patterns that you may already have.

Patchwork Palette Packs

Kaffe Fassett Reds Patchwork Palette

Amy Butler Lotus Patchwork Palette

We launched our new Patchwork Palettes at the Festival of Quilts in August and they proved very successful. Each Palette features 20 fabrics cut to 10 inch squares so they are perfect for Layer Cake patterns. Since there are only 20 fabrics in each pack they are more versatile, as you can mix different Patchwork Palettes into the same quilt. Our Patchwork Palette range will be growing but we start off with packs from Kaffe Fassett, Philip Jacobs and Amy Butler.
