Little Folks Voile by Anna Maria Horner

Following the wildly popular and evocative Good Folks, Anna Maria introduces Little Folks. In this charming collection, she plays with a smaller than typical scale and the palette, while slightly softer, is still saturated with trademark Anna Maria color. The detail making our hearts skip a beat is that Little Folks is printed on the finest 54" cotton voile with a buttery soft feel and a gorgeous drape. This fabric is beautifully fluid so taking tucks, pressing pleats, and fashioning flowers from fabric has never been so enjoyable.


This fabric is amazingly soft and has a high thread count - many beautiful things will be made from this fabric! We are carrying thirteen prints within the Sugar Cookie and Playground palettes.

Small-town girl, Nicey Jane, heads to the city on Friday nights to swing dance with her beau — but not before hanging the laundry to dry and enjoying an afternoon picnic on the farm. Every weekend should be so sweet.

Get Well, Dad!

We had a trip planned to go back to Oklahoma from 10/7 through 10/17 to visit family.
Unfortunately, the day we got there, my father had emergency surgery and had to have almost half of his stomach removed. So much for a good trip back home! He is stable now, and we're just waiting for him to wake up. It is going to be a long recovery, so we're thankful that he has had no major setbacks since the procedure. I sure have seen enough of the intensive care unit at the VA Hospital in Oklahoma City to last me for a lifetime!

I extended my trip through 10/21, so unfortunately, I still have orders from 10/6 that need to be shipped. I will start fulfilling orders in the order in which they were received on 10/22.

A warm thank you to all of you that have reached out and offered your thoughts and prayers. I appreciate it very much.

Amy Butler's Love Fabric is HERE!!

OK. Maybe it isn't here just yet, but it has been shipped to us and should arrive any day. We'll be listing the remaining fabrics on 10/2 (we have had a few up as sneak peeks for the last month or so). Our first shipment is limited yardage, so order yours before it is gone! The second shipment is expected in late Nov/Dec.

Moda Rouenneries Fabric by French General

Rouenneries – a lovely collection of printed cottons and woven stripes by French General for Moda. What a name for a fabric line! If you're like me, I wondered what in the world this meant... so here's your French word lesson of the day: Rouenneries were the cotton prints printed in Rouen, France during the mid-18th century. Makes perfect sense, now, doesn't it???The inspiration for these designs are based on a collection of old prints and stripes from this era in shades of red, naturals and chocolate browns.

Precuts are available now, and yardage is scheduled to arrive in October.

Cooler weather finally coming

It is a mere 81 degrees inside this afternoon - I will try to catch up on shipping later tonight, as the low temperature overnight is 63 (please???).

High temps in the 70s later this week -- Hallelujah!

HOT HOT HOT!! Shipments delayed...

We live in Portland, Oregon, but grew up in Oklahoma, so we're used to hot summers. However, we've been spoiled since we moved here in 2006. I was reading the local online newspaper here the other day - and found it amazing that in the last 20 years, it has only hit 100 degrees in July 14 times. Only 6 times in August and 4 times in June. Wow. Before we moved here, I remember having 30+ straight days of 100+ degree weather. So this week's weather is definitely out of the norm. It was 100 yesterday, 107 today and is forecast to be 105 tomorrow.

We moved here in December 2006 - it never crossed our mind to check our house for AIR CONDITIONING!!! Guess what - the house does not have air conditioning...
So here I sit in a hotel room because it is 88 degrees inside our house. Yuk. Since we run our business from our sauna (home), we aren't cutting any fabric for the next few days while it stays above 100 (it would literally be a "sweat" shop). Orders will be processed in the order that they have been received. We apologize for the delay - but it is miserable here right now!!

Astoria, Oregon

So we traveled to Astoria, Oregon for the first time over July 4th. We went to the Astoria Column - and what magnificent views all around from up there!

Simply climb 164 stairs, and voila!

We found it amazing that the river is over 4 miles wide here - that makes for a long bridge!.

The next day, we drove north across the bridge, and drove to Cape Disappointment, saw a few lighthouses, and this neat little place called dead man's cove:
