D.O.M. Does Feathers!

Hearts and Feathers in April!

Join Linda on the 4th Sundays for our new Die-of-the-Month demo and class. The class is free! Each month features a different die and project. In April, she'll show you a simple wall hanging using the feather dies. Grab your GO! or rent our Studio cutter and come sew with us.

This die cuts perfect straight and curved feathers that can be used as an applique design element. Apply fusible web to the wrong side of fabrics and cut for applique shapes that are ready to fuse and sew!

Too cute.

IIJpatterns.jpg Kids Clothing from Indygo Junction

The bags were, well, getting a little abundant. But we had to make something with all that cute Michael Miller, Free Spirit and Moda fabric. If there's a little girl in your life,  you will, too. Best part? Finish in an evening - it doesn't have to be quilted.

Brown Bear, Brown Bear...

...What do you see?

Newest kit from another popular fabric line by Eric Carle. Quick and adorable, this quilt is bound to bring a smile to any child's face! There's a bear in every corner and surrounding the center.

March is Moda Month!

New Fabric Arrivals from Moda

Aviary by 3-Sisters. (Due in mid-March) Aviary is inspired by vintage prints and field study engravings from a time when the world outside was shared through drawing rather than photographs. Full of detail and texture in a supple palette of pinks, greens, aquas and cream, this refreshing collection is elgant and sophisticated. Classic florals and masterfully crafted paislies make this a collection that exemplifies beauty by anyone’s terms.

Neptune. (Arriving next week.) Tula Pink takes us on a nautical adventure under the seven seas and to the shores of distant continents. Keep an eye out for glimpses of exotic shells, bashful fish, turtles and sea horses all woven into unassuming and familiar patterns. Deep blues, refreshing aquas, coral pinks and seaweed greens make this aquatic wonderland worth a closer look.

Patisserie. Patisserie is romance and inviting color all tied up with a pretty ribbon! The palette is a muted combination of soft, vintage colors that make your mouth water- with names like butterscotch, frangelico, pear tart, angel food, sugar berry, butter cream, frosting and marzipan. Make the Sweet Sugar Swirls kit with two honey buns.
