Makower have come up with this delightful new range called ‘Walk in the Park’. The colours are beautiful soft tones of turquoise/grey/orange/yellow.

Makower have a new design out called ‘Stitch in Time’. This is a wonderful set of subtle colours of pink/ turquoise/ grey.

I spied the new fabric collection by Stuart Hillard on the Craft Cotton Co stand at CHSI Stitches in February – oh it certainly caught my eye and so when it became available for review my hand shot up! Rainbow Etchings is now available and let me tell you, if you are a rainbow lover,…
I was thrilled when these fat quarters arrived, I have purchased fabric from this company in the past. The colours were vivid and printed in the correct areas of the patterns. The fat quarters all matched well and would have complimented each other in a quilt. The fabric was not see through and of good…
