The day after

All I can say is . . .

You guys love a good sale as much as I do! Thank you!

Now back to the fabric for me. With some help, I'm going to try very hard to get all the Cyber Monday orders out today!

 

Serious Cyber Monday Sale

After a weekend like this past one, I like to take a moment Monday morning to sit down with a hot cup of joe in front of my computer and relentlessly hunt down the gifts that eluded me on Friday!

Cyber Monday is one of my favorite days of the holiday season, because although I have nothing against staying up all night, driving around in traffic, searching for parking spaces at no less than 12 stores, drinking way too much coffee and waiting in line for 40 minutes at a time just to find out I missed out on the early-bird specials, I enjoy sitting on my cumfy chair in my PJs clicking "PURCHASE" much more! Oh, so much more!

Secondly, Cyber Monday is my chance to find those things that I know I won't see under the tree. Let's face it, there are just some things we have to buy for ourselves. Well, there's no better time to buy fabric than today!

Original turkey recipe from my 5-year old

My oldest son brought this home from school yesterday. It's an original recipe he gave his teacher. She typed it up for the front of his turkey art. It makes me laugh every time I read it. It's a KEEPER!

Happy Thanksgiving to you all! Here's hoping your day is filled with family, friends, grateful hearts, peace, hope and all things wonderful and sweet!

More Kona options in stock!

         Sour Apple                   Primrose                         Pear

I've just added three more shades to the growing collection of Kona Cotton Solids at Marmalade Fabrics. With a grand total of 147 colors in stock, it's easy to find just the right shade for your project.

Just in case you don't see the exact color you're looking for, send me a note and I'll put your request on my wish list. That's just how I chose the colors above - by special request.

Your suggestions are always welcome at Marmalade Fabrics so please let me know if there's anything you would like to see added to the store.

Here's hoping this week has a bright and beautiful start!

Designer Solids and Kaffe Classic Bundles

Marmalade Fabrics now carries Kaffe Classics fat quarter bundles in red, green and blue. Each bundle consists of 15 fat quarters of classic Kaffe Fassett prints.

           
For all of those who love Free Spirit solids, Marmalade Fabrics now stocks Designer Solids fat quarter bundles. Each bundle consists of 15 fat quarters in either bold or subtle shades.

That's all I've got for now. Happy Day!

New Chevrons to "Stitch"

Stitch is Betz White's new line of organic cotton for Robert Kaufman.

I just couldn't resist these colorful chevrons. Who doesn't love a nice zigzag? And even better, they're 100% organic cotton and priced very reasonably.

Check them out here at Marmalade Fabrics.

Lovin' Loulouthi Hugs & Kisses Pillow Bundles

For the past week or so, I've had the pleasure of collaberating with Amy at During Quiet Time on her new tutorial, Lovin' Loulouthi Hugs & Kisses Pillows. Aren't they beautiful? I'm lovin' them!

My part was very small but oh, so much fun! Amy sent me an advance copy of her tutorial to create no-hassle fabric bundles to go along with it. 

Lovin' Loulouthi Kisses Pillow Bundle

Lovin' Loulouthi Hugs Pillow Bundle

Each bundle consists of just enough fabric to make each pillow. So, head over to During Quiet Time for Amy's tutorial and then check out the bundles at Marmalade Fabrics. Somewhere along the way, you just might find a giveaway!

Echo Pillow . . . pillow . . . pillow . . . pillow

Ta da! Here's my finished Echo pillow. I chose two of my favorite prints (among many in the Echo collection) and had a finished pillow in no time. If I can do it, you can too!

Speaking of making pillows, I have a special treat for you in store. Check back tomorrow for the reveal!

Hello Blissmas!

One great benefit of starting a new shop is meeting so many creative people. Case in point, earlier this year I met Michele, the creative mind behind Squeaks and Beeps. She called looking for some solid fabric. Solids? Oh, I have solids! We've been fast friends ever since.

I've been looking forward to the debut of Hello Blissmas for quite some time. Don't you just love the name? The whole collection is yummy!

As you know, I don't have little girls of my own but if I did, I certainly wouldn't be able to resist these adorable outfits. So instead, I just smile knowing that I helped contribute just a teeny tiny bit to this blissful collection.

 

Echo pillow peek

I'm working on a couple of pillows made from the sleek, urban, modern and wonderful Echo collection. (Can you tell I really like this fabric?) I still have some work to do, but here's a little peek.
