Happy Easter Holidays

Well it looks as if it may be a cold and damp Easter break here in the UK, so best be surrounded by as many Easter Eggs as possible, and if that fails some of your favourite needlework projects.

Today I have put up two new fabric ranges, Lotus Hana and Passion Fruit. Both of them feature a palette of purples and lavenders but they are very different prints. Personally I think the Lotus Hana (also see the Hana range which will be one of our Fabric Palettes for 2008) is a lovely range of fabrics.

Passion Fruit 3 by Hoffman Fabrics

I have added a number of new Kaffe Fassett Fat Quarter Packs to the Kaffe Fassett area. If you have a favourite design from Kaffe then you can now sample his fabrics as fat quarters.

Finally we have an offer for 2008 for fabrics purchased through the Bargain Basics Club. Members receive each quarter a pack of 25, 100% cotton fabrics. Further quantities of these fabrics can be purchased at the reduced price of £5.40/m from £6/m for 2008. Full details can be found on our Bargain Basics Club Page.

Hoffman Challenge 2008 Fabrics

The fabrics for the popular Hoffman Challenge for 2008 have now arrived and are available. There are four fabrics and they can be purchased as a fat quarter pack or as individual fabrics. I have put the rules of entry for the Challenge on the bottom of the fabric page. Further details can be obtained from Grosvenor Exhibitions who organise the Hoffman Challenge on 01775 712100

New Fabric Clubs

We have three new exciting Fabric Clubs launched in our new Newsletter. Free Spirit, Far East and Hoffman are all intended to keep you up to date with a number of fabric ranges. They provide you with fat quarter packs quarterly through the year with different styles depending upon the club. Free Spirit concentrates on bold and contemporary fabrics from Free Spirit in America. Far East fat quarter packs will reflect Oriental - Chinese and Japanese fabric imagery. Whilst Hoffman will provide you with a selection of fat quarters from the Hoffman company. Further fabrics can be purchased by the metre.
