Look for the following logo, which will take you from quilt studio to quilt studio among the 20 or so designers who are participating.

More Cupcakes, Please :)

Holly Holderman of Lakehouse Dry Goods tells us:

I just wanted to alert all of you that we have decided to re-print the pink cupcake fabric (LH 08010 pink) one more time. It should be back in stock again in late April / early May. (I’ll keep you posted.) You may want to tell your LQS, so that they can get their hands on a bolt or two before we sell through another printing. We’re about 85% committed already.

Kona Bay moves to Redmond, WA

No more soft Hawaiian breeze for Douglas and the group at Kona Bay, they are huddled under their umbrellas in Washington State, consolidating Seattle Bay and Kona Bay operations on the mainland. There goes my “excuse” to visit Hawaii! Keep up with Kona Bay Blog for the inside scoop and touch bases with their website regularly for their newest releases.

A Teaser from Andover Fabrics

Gail at Andover Fabrics knows how to tease. She sent me this introduction to Andover’s new line by Renee Nanneman and I totally love it. While you are looking around at Andover, check out Elizabeth House’s line called Lizzy Dish. Lizzy and Cheri House are a couple of my favorite designers. You can keep up with them here.
