Mary Ellen's Best Starch

Just arrived, Mary Ellen's Best Starch. This was ordered because of customer request. It has only been getting rave reviews. This starch leaves no white residue and just has a hint of scent. It also is available in unscented. If you like the look of yarndyes, but don't like the looseness and wobbleliness of it this is great for stablizing the fabric.

Heritage 1846

We received Howard Marcus' Collection for a Cause: Heritage 1846, and it is on the shelves. Moda has put out the Collection for a Cause to support causes that are dear to them and others. This collection was taken from a 19th century antique quilt. It is gorgeous! The proceeds from this collection, Heritage, will be going to Gilda's Club which gives support to those going through cancer. We have a select group of fabrics from this line along with jellyrolls and layer cakes. Stop by and see them for yourself, they are beautiful.

Gypsy Gripper

Here is a new notion that will help you with your rotary cutting! When I ordered this I thought it was going to be smaller, but now that it is in and I tried it out I like the size as it keeps the ruler stable as you cut. This tool is applied to your acrylic rotary ruler with suction, and boy is that suction strong! If you are using a small ruler you can just set the handle using the dark purple levers to have suction on one side only. It is comfortable to use and you have less stress on your hand as you are cutting. With your hand on the handle you don't have to worry about cutting yourself either! It also makes it easier to lift up your ruler and move it to the next cutting position. I think this is a great new notion for the quilter. Also,if you have children that are quilting this would be a great safety notion to have in your quilting room as it will keep little fingers away from harm's way if you have decided to allow your child to rotary cut or are thinking about allowing them to try rotary cutting.

Climbing Jacob's Ladder

Here is Climbing Jacob's Ladder, designed by Barbara Brackman for Moda. It is a Civil War line that is rich in color. The sample quilt was made from a free pattern (Catch Me If You Can) on Moda's website.
