I’m a huge fan of striped denim and Kaufman has delivered! These new Railroad Denims are fantastic.  There’s a wide array, some with stretch, some not, navy, black, grey.  There are chambray pieces as well, for a lighter, summer weight.

Lots of robots from Robert Kaufman.  Two color palettes—one bright, one soft.

Cheery reds and blues in the Happy Go Lucky group from Moda.  Ready for summer picnic napkins, bunting, farmers’ market totes.

I’m very excited about the new Textured Solids from Andover.  This is the beginning of our shipment, many more colors are on their way! Lovely, lighter weight, slightly slubby texture.  Perfect.

This elegantly playful group, Blythe, arrived last week from Kaufman.  Rich colors, bold florals, fresh dots.

The talented Carolyn Friedlander showcased her new Slow Sewing Studio patterns at Quilt Market a few weeks ago.  The perfect summer projects—you can enjoy stitching in the garden, the beach, the front porch, the back deck.  They are lovely.  Her write up about these patterns is just as lovely.  Take a look here.

See you soon!

It may be quicker to let you know what isn’t new right now!  Not really, but we do have so many new things.  It’s a bit crazy.  Let’s get started, shall we?

We’ll start off with the non-fabric newbies.  A fresh box of ribbons!  Including some designed by Amy Butler and Anna Maria Horner.  Lovely, lovely.

The latest, and very cute, patterns from Sew Liberated. 

Our new outdoor fabric selection.  We’re pretty excited to offer this!

New canvas and medium weight cottons from Premier Prints.

Gorgeous light weight cotton and cotton/silk.  So soft and elegant.

More and more knits!  The middle one has hot pink flocked stars…oh yeah.

Cotton, linen, hemp blend and more cotton.

Spring House from Moda.

Cameras and raffle tickets in 2wenty Thr3e also from Moda. 

Whew, there you have it.  A glimpse of just some of the new goodies that await you. A huge thank you to Hannah and Heather for help with the pictures.

And, don’t forget there’s just a few more days to our March Madness promotion!

A while back we received the Moda “Candy” for this group—cute, little 2” square bundles of each print in the group.  We have just a few left, and a darling example of what can be made up with them on our “wall of pride!”  Thanks to Sarah!  Take a peek next time you’re in.  Ok, the group—grammar graphics, who doesn’t love that?! Designed by Zen Chic for Moda.  We’ll be receiving more “candy” bundles for future groups from Moda, keep your eyes open for them!

Just in time for Easter, Locally Grown, is so darling.  Sweet flowers on a soft cream background, sheep, lambs, chicks, eggs, bees…how else can you say Spring?  This group is by the ever talented Marisa of Creative Thursday.  Sweet, sweet.

We also recently received a few pieces from Type by Julia Rothman.  Check out more about the artist, and see the prints here. 

Don’t forget to take advantage of our “March Madness” promo this month.  It’s been a lot of fun sending folks back and forth between Cool Cottons and Bolt.  Hope you’ve been enjoying it too!

We’ll be holding our big, store-wide twice-a-year sale April 12th, 13th and 14th.  It’s a great time to stock up on same stellar deals.  ALL FABRIC is marked down 10-50%, and some gets marked down even more than that! We’ll let you know any other details as we get nearer.  For now, just mark those calendars.
