...in the shop now...riley blake designs ivy trellis

Introducing Riley Blake Designs' newest line - Ivy Trellis by Gabriella Hunter Designs. I love this fabric! If you're a fan of soft, muted colors and lovely detailed design, you should really look into this line. As always, I have ordered a select few, but am open to expanding what I offer in the shop because I love them so much! I opted for a combination of the Teal and Purple colorways and they are beautiful! I was so much more impressed with them in person than in the photos...but isn't that always the case???

Another great thing about them is that all the fabrics in the line appear to coordinate with each other. Perfect for home decor projects, apparel, and more! Check them out in the shop and let me know what you think. I'd love to hear your thoughts...which ones do you love? What other colorways and designs would you like to see offered? I'm open to any and all comments and suggestions!


Happy Saturday!

...back from vacation!

Hey everyone! We're back from our vacation and what a great time we had exploring the Pacific Northwest! I'm now officially in love with Oregon...the coast, the trees, the cute little towns, the cheese. Anyone in need of a vacation should put Seattle, Portland, Mount St. Helens, the giant redwoods and the wine country on your list of possibilities. All are highly recommended!

So now it's back to reality where we've spent the past several days playing catch-up - much of which has been placing orders to recover my dwindling stock (you guys were ordering fools while I was gone - thank you!) In the past week, I have placed three re-orders with StudioE! During our 10 days of vacation, I sold out of several Flourish and Freshaire fabrics. I couldn't re-order fast enough! Within the week, though, I should be fully re-stocked. Well, except for those few fabrics that have either been discontinued or are currently out of stock.

Floral in Brown

For those of you who are curious where StudioE's Floral in Brown from the Flourish line has gone, I'm happy to tell you that it's in its second printing and will be returning to the shop! Just not until late summer. The manufacturer has given September as their best estimate as to when it will ship out. Let's cross our fingers that it gets here sooner - I know how much you all love that print!

t-b: Diagonal in Blue, Floral in Green, Leaf in Brown

While gone, I also sold out of some of StudioE's Freshaire fabrics. I was able to re-order Diagonal in Blue, but unfortunately Floral in Green is gone for good. Freshaire has been discontinued and only a limited quantity remains of certain sku's in that line. And just to let you know, only a few yards of Leaf in Brown remain in the shop, so get it before it's gone forever!

t-b: Paisley in Ice, Sway in Ivory, Peonies in Red, Zag Stripe in Red, Pop Daisy in Red

Upon return, I also had to re-order some Heather Bailey Pop Garden fabrics. This bundle seems to just "fly off the shelf!" Don't you just love it? The bright colors and fun designs make me smile every time!

Stay tuned for my next post about the BRAND NEW Riley Blake Designs line called Ivy Trellis. I have a few fabrics from the line in the shop ready to be sent to a good home. If you love them as much as I know you will, I'll be expanding my inventory of the line.

Thanks again to all of you who ordered during my vacation and waited patiently for me to respond to emails and/or ship out your orders. I appreciate it!!

...vacation announcement...

We will be heading out on vacation starting tonight (7/1) and will return July 11. The shop will remain open for those of you who do not mind a delay in receiving your fabric. All orders placed today by 3pm PST will be shipped out today. All orders placed after that time, will be shipped upon our return (these details are also provided on the shop's home page). During this time, please feel free to contact me with any questions or special orders that you may have. I may be on vacation, but I'll still be checking in on the store! Please be patient in waiting for a reply as the days designated for hiking and camping will surely not allow for internet access!

In other news, I just received my shipment of Laura Gunn's Lantern Bloom fabrics. I know, finally!, right? Check them out in the shop now! And keep your eye out for Ivy Trellis by Riley Blake Designs...it should be arriving any day now and I'll be posting those upon my return!

Don't forget, all orders placed before 3pm PST today will be shipped today. All others will be shipped upon my return. Thanks for your patience while we venture out on a much-needed vacation!

We hope everyone has a fantastic 4th of July and is able to spend some fun quality time with family and friends!

See you all soon!

...in the shop now...riley blake designs just dreamy

Happy Summer everyone! I have to say that this is my favorite time of year because these are the longest days of the year. I love waking up to the sun and enjoying it all day long! Today I'm going to showcase a few prints that "feel" like summer to me. Bright colors, fun designs...it's just cheerful fabric! Riley Blake Designs has been in the fabric business for a while, but has just recently started manufacturing their fabrics. Just Dreamy is proving to be a hit so far with its fun, youthful designs and colors. Check them out in the store now!











Not only are the designs and colors great, it just feels like excellent quality fabric. It feels very sturdy, yet it's extremely soft. Fantastic for both play clothes and dress clothes! Check them out and let me know what you think! Keep an eye out in my shop for Ivy Trellis, the latest Riley Blake fabric line...it's on its way!

...in the shop now...joel dewberry deer valley - persimmon palette

Alright everyone...here's the third and final installment of the Joel Dewberry Deer Valley series. The last palette I'll be giving you a closer look at is the Persimmon palette. Here you'll find colors such as Sky, Persimmon and Peony. So from that I'm sure you can guess that the feature colors in this palette are blue and red! The colors and designs complement each other so well. See for yourself...


Like the other Deer Valley bundles, this one is also listed in the shop as a 3 1/2 yard bundle (1/2 yard cut of each fabric) but can be purchased in any length.

Lodge Lattice in Sky

Columbine in Persimmon

Antler Damask in Sky

Floral Drop in Peony

Architectural in Sky

Meadow Lace in Peony

Mountain Gem in Sky

As this series comes to an end, I hope you were able to find something you like from Joel's new line. Do you have a favorite palette...or a favorite design? Let me know! Don't forget to check out the shop for these great fabrics, as well as some other fabrics that are newly listed. More on those later, but for now, I hope everyone has a great weekend full of so fun fabrics!

...in the shop now...joel dewberry deer valley - azure palette

Oh my goodness...I can't believe I let 5 days go by since my last post before writing about my FAVORITE palette out of Joel Dewberry's new Deer Valley Collection. The Azure palette has a beautiful blend of grays, deep reds and well, azure. I am a blue girl...I own lots of blue clothes, I have blue walls in my house and I even have a blue truck. So, of course, when I took a look at this particular palette, I fell in love with it. So here's a look at my fabric choices for this palette (it was hard not to order the whole colorway!):

I have this listed in the shop as a 3 1/2 yard bundle (1 half-yard cut of each fabric), but it's available for purchase in any length...just let me know what you need! Check out the pictures below for a more detailed look at each fabric.

...in the shop now...StudioE Flourish

Things have been sooo busy around here this past week. I managed to get Deer Valley and Flourish in at the same time...which was around the time of my birthday, my cousin's birthday, a meeting with the Westminster reps, etc. etc. I've been working on getting all the new fabrics listed and even though I'm not quite finished, I wanted to share some pics of the brown colorway of Flourish anyway. I love it even more in person than in the catalog...rich chocolate browns, soft aquas, bright greens, oranges and turquoises. And the shapes! Flowers, circles, zig zags, medallions...you have to check them out...they're in the shop and ready to be oohed and ahhed over!

Brown colorway

Cream colorway

Don't you love them?!? Head over to the shop now for great prices on this fabulous collection!
