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.

Etchings is a new collection for Moda fabrics by 3 Sisters.  This collection captures some French elegance with its botanical designs that contrast with the delicate lines on architectural prints derived from an antique book the Sisters acquired on one of their many flea market jaunts.

At the moment we have the jelly rolls, charm packs and layer cakes in stock.  Some of prints will be available to buy by the metre soon.

Little Apples is a new collection by Aneela Hoey for Moda Fabric.

Autumn is coming and in this fabric you can see the little apples are falling off the trees and spied by a tortoise who has momentarily peeked out from under his shell and decided to take a stroll. Children are playing as the leaves are swirling around on the wind, providing a brilliantly coloured backdrop to all the goings on, the beauty of Autumn is definitely here in these bright and colourful fabrics.

Available individually or in a cute bundle of 5 fat quarters.

The Winter issue of Stitch Magazine celebrates rich textured fabrics, from wool felt to leather and suede—perfect for sewing cozy projects for the winter months. The issue includes 35 fun and stylish projects from garments and accessories to home accents and holiday décor.

Features include an in-depth technique article on sewing with faux leather and suede, a step-by-step tutorial on drafting a custom skirt and sewing a day and night version, plus a profile on felt designer Anne Kyyro Quinn.

Countdown to Christmas by Sweetwater is a fun Christmas fabric collection from Moda fabrics.  In traditional reds, greens and snowy whites, it’s a Christmas fabric collection that contains pieces for the festive season and others which would work at any time of the year.  There are designs with words, numbers, trees, stripes and dots.

This year’s Christmas fabrics from Moda have started to arrive, the first one being Fa La La La La by French General, which is certain to be a hit with French General fans.

The Fa La La La collection from French General is filled with classic reds and greys with a touch of the old world green. Hand written letters with the lyrics to the French song Fa La La La La, is the theme and gives this collection a particularly festive look. Rural French florals and branches make this group perfect for a warm winter quilt or stocking or two.

We have jelly rolls, charm packs, layer cakes and a large selection of the fabrics available by the metre.

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!

Grace is the latest collection from fabric designers 3 Sisters. The hearth’s aglow with rich, warm fireside tones reminiscent of cinnamon and cocoa. Delicate rosebuds and blossoms alongside elegant paisleys and flourishing roses make this collection a classic to be cherished for years to come.
