What's New At Sew Inspired

Christmas in July! Our Christmas section is bursting with beautiful kits and new prints, perfect for gifts, ornaments, setting the table... and of course, quilts!

Our Fall section is also looking bountiful and vibrant. The gorgeous colors and prints are perfect for table runners and placemats.

And the Halloween section has everything from the cute to the downright spooky!

We're also starting a series of Christmas classes taught by Susan Michaels in August, beginning with the Hex Ornaments class on August 14.

Susan will follow that up with the Pretty Package Placemat class on August 21.

And the last of the series is the Cookie and Gift Bags on August 28.

Each session takes place in the evening from 6:00PM to 8:30PM. It is $15.00 a class, or sign up for all three and pay $40.00. Call us at the shop at 860-651-8885 to reserve your spot today!

What's New At Sew Inspired

This beautiful winter-themed collection called Snowbird by Laundry Basket Quilts for Moda is a lovely mix of dots and florals that we're absolutely in love with! We also have some of the batiks in this collection in-store.

Draw Near by Janet Wecker Frisch is a steampunk-inspired collection with a creative, colorful twist, and revolves around painting and art. These great prints would make wonderful totes or zip bags.

An adorable collection called Herb Garden by Angela Anderson for Quilting Treasures, great for any gardening enthusiast. There's even a great stripe that would be perfect for making an Easy Stripe Table Runner with!

We just love this bicycle-themed collection called Life... Enjoy the Ride by Tina Higgins for Quilting Treasures. Again, it would make a wonderful tote!

If you love dots as much as we do, you'll need to get your hands on this layer cake of dots big and small and in so many different colors! Each layer cake consists of 42-10" squares.

And we have charm packs of Winterlude by 3 Sisters for Moda, as well as kits in the same fabric to make a very cute table runner.

A beautiful, rich red, green and metallic gold collection called Pear Tree Greetings by Hoffman. We also have precuts of 2.5" strips called Jingle Pops. 

Sew Fun... For Kids

Do you have a budding sewist between the age of 9 and 14 who might want to take a class? We'll be starting new classes for kids this summer, beginning July 7, 2014. They can learn the basics of sewing while making pillowcases -- one to keep, and one to give away!

Class participants will be asked to make a pillowcase for themselves, and another to donate to the One Million Pillowcase Challenge. The class fee is $40.00 (plus the We Love to Sew book -- all class materials are purchased at a 15% discount). Sewing machines and fabric packs for the pillowcases are provided.

If this sounds like fun, please give us a call at 860-651-8885. We only have six spots available so reserve yours today!

Cotton + Steel

We're anxiously awaiting the arrival of ALL 144 bolts of gorgeous Cotton + Steel fabrics from their debut collection mid-July! Viv and Linda had the good fortune of seeing this amazing collection in person at the Spring Quilt Market last month and have nothing but good things to say about it.

The collection on display at Spring Quilt Market

Cotton + Steel is a new division of RJR Fabrics made up of inspiring designers in their own right -- Melody Miller, Alexia Abegg, Rashida Coleman-Hale, Kim Kight and Sarah Watts. They will each have their own collections as well as a basics collection, so there'll be six collections in all for us to drool over!

Hatbox by Alexia Abegg

Mustang by Melody Miller

We'll be holding a Market Review on July 19 at our shop, where you can learn all about and get a sneak peek at this great debut collection. We'll be selling advance tickets for $5.00 each, which will then be returned to you as a coupon on the day of the event.

If you'd like more information or have your name put on our list, please give us a call at 860-651-8885 or visit our website at www.sewinspiredquilts.com.
