I like to make jam!
People always ask, how can you stand canning when it is hot!
Well, I think of it as bottling sunshine and the summer.
A Tale of Jam Making
Fabric News
This is just a quick note to update people on what is going on in the fabric world.
Summer Fabrics
Well, it is hot- in the 90’s!
We are not used to heat like this in June!
Bermuda highs roll up the coast in late August bringing
heat and humidity,
and we expect that…
But, this is unexpected!
A Spring Walk Around Town
Spring in Maine is normally a very spread out affair.
New Elephant Fabrics!
Bits and Bobs Sale
We suddenly seem to have quite a few patterns, which have been discontinued, that we are down to the last few yards. In an effort to clear the decks for new fabrics, I put as many as I had time for on sale yesterday, in the 25% off category and the 40% off category.
Think Pink Fabric
Spring in Maine is a stop again, start again affair. A warm couple of days, followed by snow. And this year is no different. But, with the roll out of covid vaccinations, there is a definite sense of a long cold winter, and a long hard year, coming to an end.
So, in keeping with this optimism, people have been buying pink. And, lots of it. Below are some of the fabrics with pink that have been of interest.
Things in Short Supply
This is just a short post about some things that are in very short supply.
The ones that are highlighted here are things we have carried for a long time,
but will not be able to get again.
Spring Floral Fabrics Are HOT
The last couple of weeks have seen a lot of flower fabrics going out.
Perhaps it is the need for something cheerful after the last year!
But, for what ever the reason, pretty florals have seen a resurgence
in use for the decorating scheme of many.
While we do have some floral fabrics that are wild
in both color and design,
it is the classic florals that have been selling.
Below are some that have been of interest.
Travel Fabrics
Well, Maine has had an easy winter up until now.
And then the last week of January hit;
the temperatures plummeted,
the wind speeds rose,
and it has been bitingly cold out.
