Blueberry Crumb Cake is a new range of Moda Fabrics, designed by Blackbird Designs.  It hasn’t been on our shelves very long, but is already proving popular. The peaceful blues and tans give a feeling of comfort, rest and harmony.

We have this collection available in jelly rolls, layer cakes and charm packs

Flora is a beautiful fabric collection from Lauren and Jessi Jung and their website has a free quilt pattern, which uses Flora, that you can download.  The quilt is made with a Moda Layer Cake plus some extra for the border.

You can download this and other free patterns as a PDF from their website.

Vignette Magazine issue 5 is out today!  This issue contains blocks 6 and 7 of the mystery quilt, as well as a feature on Leanne Beasley’s recent trip to Vietnam, an asian inspired stitchery pattern, shopping bag pattern and recipe for bruschetta.

Pick up your copy of this cute Australian magazine.  If you missed the earlier issues and want to make the 16 block mystery quilt, then we have a few copies of them available on our website.

All quilters already know it, but recent research has shown that quilting is good for you!

10 months of wonderful fun!

For the first time, we are proposing to run a Block of the Month quilt programme starting in December 2011 and the quilt we have chosen is Raining Cats and Dogs from Bunny Hill Designs.

(55″ x 62″ Finished Quilt Size.)

The programme runs for 10 months and each month you will receive the fabric and instructions to make one block from the quilt. In the final month, you will receive the border fabric and directions for putting the blocks together and completing the quilt.

The cost of making the quilt is spread out over the 10 month period. There will be an initial sign up fee of £39.95, then a monthly charge which is likely to be £19.50 a month.

At the moment, we are asking customers to register their expression of interest. It will not commit you to anything at this stage, but will help us to plan the programme.

There will be a limited number of places available on this programme and we will offer places to those who expressed an interest, on a first come first served basis.

Filled with whimsical cats and the cutest little dogs, you’ll be smiling the whole time you make this quilt!  You can see more pictures and read about the quilt on the Bunny Hill Designs blog.

So send an email to sales@hulucrafts.co.uk or call us on 01548 831911 if you are interested in making this quilt!

Lilac Hill is a pretty collection by Brannock and Patek for Moda and we have in stock what we believe are the nicest designs from this fabric collection.  I love the purples and the robins are very cute too!

Lilac Hill fabrics would work very well with the Days in Provence quilt by House on the Hill.

Issue 3 of Vignette magazine arrived from Australia on Friday!

In this issue you will get the instructions for the next three blocks in the mystery quilt as well as other delightful articles.

(We have a few more copies of issue 1 and 2 coming, in case you missed out )

This amazing wall hanging is made with fabric from French General’s Maison de Garance collection.  The pattern is also a French General pattern and we have just one copy left available to purchase on our website.

If you fancy a quick project for Easter, why not make one of these pretty wall hangings?  The pattern is called Hoppy Easter by Natalie Bird.

This new collection from Moda is just adorable!  It’s called Ballerina Fairies and is sooooo pretty.  The photo doesn’t really do it justice.

A customer commented in the shop this morning that the fairy illustrations are particularly appealing and what little girl wouldn’t want something made from this collection.  I agree wholeheartedly.
