Catching Up

Wow, now that I've been back from the Moda retreat for a couple of days I almost feel like I'm getting caught up! I didn't realize how tough it is sometimes to be away from the computer for long boughts at a time. That did help me refocus though on the most important part of Crafty Girls Workshop, our customers and friends. There is still time to comment Saturday's post to be entered in the drawing for a secret suprise we received at the retreat!

While we were at the Moda retreat we just couldn't HELP but go through the warehouse and stock up on some more fabrics. Here is a glimpse of what we have newly listed in the shop for you:

A Breath of Avignon - Precuts and Coordinating yardage

Martinique by 3 Sisters

NEW Honey Buns, Jelly Rolls and Layer Cakes and MORE yardage

We found some bolts of Arcadia by Sanae which was SUPER popular and we found FOUR coordinating bolts AND honey buns!

New Freebird by Momo and charms are available!

There are so many more new items available, I'll have to spread them out into another post, but be sure to take a look at our patterns section. We have everything listed with NEW items to show up first!

Happy Shopping!

Happy Stitches,

Anna

A funny thing happened on the way to my sewing room...

I stopped off in my computer room and got sucked into the Blogosphere!!! And while I was there I also listed the NEW fabric that is arriving tomorrow. So, you can go and check it out on our webstore and order it tonight and the minute it arrives tomorrow, we'll cut it and ship it out to you! It's called Make Life by Sweetwater (produced by Moda). Now, this fabric sort of resembles scrapbook paper because Sweetwater has also designed images for scrapbooking. The funny thing I'm noticing lately is that people who enjoy one usually enjoy the other. They are both creative outlets and I LOVE buying those big stacks of various papers because they coordinate, and when I need to make a quick card for someone, I can just pick a couple of coordinating prints -- I mean papers and whip out a card right away. Sort of like buying a layer cake! Oh, but I digress, look at how CUTE these new fabrics are! (click picture to visit shop)

See the one down in the bottom right hand corner? I LOVE that fabric, it has such cute phrases all over it, things that you can add to the end of the phrase "Make Life..." The name of that fabric is Make Life Silly! Isn't that great!? The blue texture fabric in the middle of the bottom would be perfect made into some cool cotton tops for spring, such as the classic shirt pattern by Favorite Things.

I totally love this pattern and I don't know about where y'all live, but Spring has SPRUNG here, because it has been above 80 degrees the last two days!! Oh, and wouldn't this look cute in that solid blue with a little of the Make Life Bloom (bottom left side) on the cuff or flare of the sleeve? Oh, I think I might have to steal this pattern. Better get one before I get it! By the way, if you hop over to the webstore right now, you'll see on the front page the newly listed items and those include FREEBIRD charm packs!! Yes, they are in and they are REALLY making me anxious for our coordinating bolts arriving next month. Well, that's the shop update for today. I'm going to try to make my way back to my sewing room now. Anyone else get distracted on their way to go and sew something?

Happy Stitches to You,

Anna
