Stockholm by Robin Zingone is now in stock at Marmalade Fabrics. Come by the shop and check it out. If you like bright modern fabric, you'll love this collection.

Bye-bye Grey Cross Weave

I've known for a few days now that Moda Grey Cross Weave has been discontinued. I haven't posted because I just didn't want to talk about it. What was Moda thinking? I love Cross Weaves.

The bad news just keeps coming. Spearmint, Coral, Pomegranite, Storm, Wasabi, Lipstick, Apple, Scarlet and Sky have been cut from the Cross Weave collection as well. Maybe more but these are the ones I really love. I just don't know what to say. Really, what was Moda thinking?

I'm all out of Grey but I do have the other discontinued colors in stock. 

So, I better get all the bad news out on the table. Guess who increased their rates on January 23? If you said the US Post Office then you're right.

I took a close look at all my rates and I adjusted them somewhat. The US rates didn't change much but the International rates changed drastically. For what it's worth, I would pick up all the shipping costs if I could, but it's just not possible.

Now for some good news! The first batch of Stockholm arrived and you'll see it in the store soon. I'll send out a quick newsletter and a tweet when the fabric is ready for purchase.

Oh, one more thing. I'm very low on some of the prints from Malka Dubrawsky's a stitch in color but my next shipment arrives next week so no worries. It is going fast so get out there and select your favorites before it's all gone. 

It's these kind of days that make me want to buy a trailer to stash fabric. Okay, that's sounds extreme. Maybe I can move my two boys into one room and use the extra room to store my stash. That sounds more reasonable since I really don't have any place to park a trailer. 

Have you seen a stitch in color? It's here!

Have you heard all the hype about a stitch in color by Malka Dubrawsky? Well, let my tell you, the fabric is FABULOUS with a capital FAB! The colors are BRIGHT and RICH and oh-so-wonderful. What can I really say? If you love color, you'll adore this fabric. I know I'll be stashing some for a drab dreary day as medicine for my soul. (sounds dramatic but fabric is my cure-all)

I finally got all the fat quarters listed in the shop including a fat quarter bunch of the 39 prints available. There's no better way to have a sample of all the prints.

For those of you wondering where the Spectrum Panel is, I'm already sold out. There's a chance I may get more in so there's still hope. I'll keep you posted.

So if a stitch in color isn't exciting enough for you, here's some news you may like - Stockholm by Robin Zingone is on the way. Yes, it's on a truck headed to Kansas right now!

I've been waiting for this fabric since the first moment I laid eyes on it. It's urban and geometric with an organic feel as well.

Who can resist a great hexigon? Love them all!

There are even more photos on Robin's blog. While you're there find out what kind of girl you are based on which colors in her collection you like. (I'm sure you can guess which color-way I like best, although I'm not a morning person, I do like rummaging for antiques.)

No more time to chit-chat. Fabric is waiting!

ENJOY YOUR DAY!

a stitch in color is here!

I'm so excited to announce that a stitch in color, the debut fabric collection by Malka Dubrawsky is now available at Marmalade Fabrics.

Simple, graphic patterns and bold colors define these prints.

All the fabrics are inspired by the hand dyed and patterned batiks Malka's been making for years.

They are fun and functional for a bevy of sewing projects, perfect for piecing into quilts or crafting garments.

Come by Marmalade Fabrics and check out the 39 prints now available! You'll even find a 1/2 yard bundle so you can have them all in one easy click!

Tilly will be here Thursday!

The new year has begun and fresh fabric is on the way to Marmalade Fabrics!


Tilly Organic for Daisy Janie arrives Thursday, January 5th.

From the same designer who brought you Geo Grand and Shades of Grey, Jan DiCintio introduces her latest collection just blooming with brilliant color.

All of Daisy Janie's fabrics are 100% GOTS Certified Organic Cotton - from seed to fiber, fabric, printing & packaging. You can rest assured that you're reducing your carbon footprint when you buy organic. Read more about organic fabric at Daisy Janie's website.



A Stitch in Color arrives in a few short weeks. Simple, graphic patterns and bold colors define this debut collection by Malka Dubrawsky.



If you're a fan of hand-dyed fabric then you'll love Malka's new line. Read more about her fabric on her blog - a stitch in dye.

This is a huge collection of 34 prints and 6 solids. You'll find them all, including bundles and single cut fat quarters at Marmalade Fabrics in late January.




Flea Market Fancy is making a come-back! (I can hear screams-of-delight from here!)

Possibly the most popular modern print to date (just my own personal guess) is due to arrive at Marmalade Fabrics in March. Check out my sneak peek of some prints (above). Aren't they just yummy?

I don't know about you, but I'm really anxious to get my hands on all of these new collections!

I'll be sure to send a newsletter when new fabrics are available. If you don't currently recieve Marmalade newsletters, you can sign-up here at the shop.

You may also follow me on Twitter for short and quick updates on fabric arrivals.
