Mini Charms

A little pocket full bundle of loveliness, a mini charm is a beautiful way to get the whole range of a fabric collection for a minimum outlay. 42 x 2 1/2" squares of coordinating gorgeousness. Mini charms are great for tiny makes, scrappy projects or Paper Piecing. A 1" hexagon paper fits a mini charm square perfectly.

To celebrate their beauty, we are offering 10% off all mini charms this week until midnight on Wednesday 31st May. Use the code MINI10 at the checkout or in the shop.

For inspiration in the photos you can see patterns that are mini charm friendly plus some makes by the ladies who entered our mini charm challenge last year.
Flower Pot Quilt

Beautiful Blooms

Flowers come in all shapes, sizes and colours and our fabric selection proves this. We take a look at bright and bold as well as the more gentle florals.

Bright and Beautiful

Kaffe Fassett fabrics and designs are the epitome of bright florals. An absolute riot of colour and big bold prints.
We also have fresh florals from Create Joy Project with their zingy colours.
Songbook is a sea of orange, green and teal.
Garden Life by Tilda is a garden of colourful flowers and we also have two kits using this delightful range. Lazy Gardener Quilt and Garden Life Wreath cushion.
One of our lovely customers made the Lazy Gardener Quilt using one of our fabric packs. Her beautiful work can be seen in the picture here and in our Customer Gallery.

Gentle Florals

Botanicals by Lynette Anderson. Soft yellows, mauves and blues.
Japanese Woven cottons are a heavier weight cotton but are lovely to work with. They have a linen look but with a closer weave.
Regency Somerset Blues is a collection of traditional inspired florals in mustards, blues and creams.
Promenade and Grace are pretty pastel flowers in yellows and pinks. Perfect for summer makes including clothes.
Flower Farm by Bunny Hill
delicious pinks, reds and creams in florals, spots and stripes.
Poppies and flowers we have noticed the poppies are blooming on the roadsides this month. A burst of colour.

Two Gorgeous Floral Quilts from Tilda

These stunning quilts are made from tiny squares of Tilda Solids pieced together to give an impression of cross stitch embroideries. The Flower Vase Embroidery Quilt is a vase of blooms on a light blue background. The equally stunning Embroidery Flower Quilt is a bouquet on a dark peacock background.
We have made fabric kits to accompany the free patterns from Tildas World. We include a free print out of the patterns in the kits.

Blooming Books!

Many of our quilt and embroidery books have patterns and inspiration for floral makes. Quilts, cushions, table runners, wall hangings and bags. The difficulty is choosing what to make first!
