As I’ve said before, I feel like a thousand times, I am a big fan of Anna Maria Horner’s designs.  I love her large scale prints.  These prints are on a light-medium weight cotton linen blend and are gorgeous.  I’m thinking new living room curtains, or a really amazing quilt back.  The colors are astounding.  These bolts need to be opened up for sure, so you can really take in the design.

Lotta Jansdotter’s newest group, Glimma just arrived.  We have both medium weight cotton prints and canvas (the stack off to the right in the back).  She’s done it again, with clean, modern, easy to use designs.  Some new totes for going to the pool this summer just may be in order!

Pretty, pretty indigo and white from Dear Stella’s Ravena line.  Crisp, clean, feels like spring.  Another group just in from DS is Va Bene!  Fun Italian images: maps, scooters and tomatoes.

Sweet new organic cotton prints from Birch are here—Yay Day!  Animals parading, confetti dots, soft, but not too muted of colors.  I particularly like the garland around the doe’s neck.  Very sweet.

And some amazing color combos from Kaffe Fassett and Brandon Mably.  Enjoy!

Just yesterday we unpacked two big boxes of super soft knits: bamboo/organic cotton, soy/organic cotton and hemp/organic cotton.  These blends are all a little different in their traits and are all beautiful.  I love these blends!  In the shipment were also thick hemp canvas, cotton/hemp drapey linen like print (the yellow one), and hemp/organic cotton shirting.  Can’t wait to sew up some tops!

Cute, cute Safari Soiree is here from Birch Fabrics.  High quality organic cotton sheeting in designs and colors that are sure to delight!

And, a few pretty pieces from Riley Blake’s Serenity line: lamps, blossoms, and dots.

We are excited to explore more ways to share our community’s projects with one another.  This month we’re going to kick off our Flickr Inspiration challenge!  Here’s how it works.  You upload your pictures of your projects you made with items from Bolt onto our Flickr site (there’s a button on the right side of the screen) and we’ll select a winner each month.  The prize for the lucky winner?  A 15% off coupon for your next purchase!  Let’s see what y’all are making!

We just received our latest orders from Birch Fabrics, makers of fine organic cotton prints!  I have been waiting excited for this group since February and am so delighted to have it on our shelves.  The colors are rich, current, not too masculine, not too feminine.  And, the designs are fun.  I am partial to the quail (just imagine it right side up…) and oar prints.  Along with part of the Camp Sur collection (above), we now have the complete line of Camp Modern.  It includes a wonderful bear print, flying birds and more faux bois.  Other organic arrivals include 8 colors of the ever loved Oasis Canvas.  Fabulous!

Another group I have been so excited to receive is Architextures by Carolyn Friedlander.  We featured Carolyn’s refreshing quilt patterns here.  I love her sense of style.  In this group, there are ledger, building plans (sort of), topography, landscape design prints, in bold greens, soft apricot, cool blues. 

This is a fun little collection from the Splendor 1920 line by Bari J. for Art Gallery Fabrics.  Teapots, peacocks, geometrics.  Thanks to Hannah for the pics!

We have more new arrivals than we can show here, so be sure to stop in soon and see the latest in person!  And, don’t forget, the Super Colossal Holiday Sale from the folks over at Crafty Wonderland is right around the corner—December 8th and 9th!
