Hello Spring

We don't know about you, but we're tired of rainy, cold weather! So we're getting ready for spring!

Valentines Day is almost gone so hurry in to get the last of the Valentines fabric because we are moving on!

Saint Patricks' Day is calling and we're getting all of our green out for you! Come see if there's a fabric you need for seasonal decorations for your house. Also remember you could make some cute dresses and skirts so you don't get pinched!

We're also bringing out some bright, colorful fabric for Easter! If there are some Easter projects you would like to finish or still need fabric for, we have some great combinations waiting for you. Come check out the Eden line by Moda.

We hope you have a great Valentines and Presidents' Day and we hope to see you in the shop soon!
