What's New At Sew Inspired

We have several bolts of Cary Phillip's Seedhead collection for Clothworks, featuring fun florals, geometric prints and tone-on-tones. We've also included some solids that coordinate with the collection so you can easily build a quilt! 

Also in the shop are kits for the Out of the Bag quilt in the throw size (50" x 64"), for which you'll need the Creative Grids Scrap Crazy 8" ruler set. We also have fat quarter bundles of the entire Seedheads collection if you'd like to use your own pattern or make the quilt in a queen size!

If you're a fan of black and whites, and batiks, you can't miss out on the new bolts of black and white prints from the Blossom Batiks collection by RJR Fabrics, designed by Flaurie and Finch.

Liesl Gibson has designed a beautiful line of cotton lawn called Woodland Clearing for Kaufman based on her watercolor paintings. These beautiful prints have a gorgeous hand, and would make lovely quilts or clothing! 

We've also added to our Cotton + Steel wall -- new fabrics from the Macrame, Cat Lady and Bluebird collections are in stock!

And if you're like us and love a good text print, we have this fun print by Sweetwater for Moda, from their Volume II collection.

Last but not least, we have these adorable prints from the Winnie the Pooh collection by Camelot Fabrics in soft shades of greys, yellows and cream, perfect for baby and children's quilts.

Renewed, refreshed, reinvented and realigned for today. Hoffman Fabrics has chosen the best of the best for their Hoffman Challenge 2016. It'll be the first time they are offering a digitally printed fabric as the Challenge Fabrics, and in two versions -- black and white!

What's New At Sew Inspired!

Here's what's new at the shop! 

Valentine's Day is only a few days away and there's still time for a quick project! Among the many projects you can choose from, is the Double Flap Pillow. This pillow would be an adorable addition to any bed or chair, but best of all, the pattern includes a very interesting method of binding! And the Peppermint Table Runner is also quick and fun to make with your 60° ruler. Both patterns are by Cut Loose Press. Make a quick 3-D valentine with your scraps and the Makin It Cute templates!

We've just received many, many new bolts of gorgeous batiks that will greet you as soon as you enter our doors!

Denyse Schmidt's new collection called Franklin is finally in! This beautiful line features calicos, stripes and geometrics, and is inspired by Denyse's time spent during her childhood in small-town libraries in her native New England.

We have several bolts of Root & Fly, a digitally printed fabric collection by Flora Bowley for Red Rooster. Inspired by nature in the Northwest where she lives, Bowley named the collection after one of her paintings of trees and birds.

New BOM: Wine Country Sunset in Mulberry

We're currently taking names for a new Block of the Month (BOM) called Wine Country Sunset in the Tonga Mulberry colorway. This beautiful queen-size quilt (90" square) was designed by Cheryl Malkowski and features batiks from Timeless Treasures. The pattern also includes a bonus pattern for a wine bottle tote!

The techniques used in the quilt are simple -- the most difficult technique found in the pattern is the half-square triangle! -- and it includes tips, tricks and many illustrations to make it beginner friendly. However, if you would prefer some help with cutting, there will be an optional cutting session on the first Thursday of every month of the 6-month long program beginning in June 2014. There will be a fee of $75.00, and this includes all six cutting sessions.

If you'd like to sign up for the Wine Country Sunset BOM, or would like more information, you can call the shop at 860-651-8885 or email us at info@sewinspiredquilts.com.
