Christine and I went to Portland this year for the spring Quilt Market! Here is some of the amazing fabric we'll be getting in over the next few months:

AMAZING Melody Miller...

Nani Iro:

Kiyohara, Kokka, Ellen Baker and Echino:

That's Rashida Coleman-Hale with Christine! Her newest line 'Koi' is with Cloud9 - ORGANIC!!!!

Here's a small sample... it's voile. I can't wait to make a dress out of this!

Cloud9 fun by Sarah Watson:

Kaufman yarn dyes to die for, and some cheetah jersey! I couldn't help myself.

Heather Ross' newest collection 'Briar Rose':

I love the parent frog helping the baby frog to swim! And the wee little pants on the riverside!

Carrie Bloomston / Such Designs:

Lizzy House!

The rumor that there will soon be Downton Abbey fabric is true...

Hamming it up!

Alexia Abegg from Green Bee Patterns!

Please join us at Sew L.A. on Sunday May 5th for a party to celebrate Alexia's book, Liberty Love! We carry her Green Bee line of patterns (I have a crush on the Amelia Dress!) and were psyched that she was willing to travel all the way from Nashville to party with us. 

We'll be swinging right into the reception at 5pm (after the workshop detailed BELOW) and going strong till 7. As always, look forward to fantastic snacks & drinks created by Devon, Haley & Christine!

Before the reception, we are thrilled to have Alexia as a guest teacher, heading up a workshop for the adorable Lulu Tunic from her book. This workshop is open to any student who has completed one beginner garment class - Cute Skirt, Tess' Dress or Pajamarama. Please follow this link to sign up for the workshop! This is a one-time class and space is limited...

Making Embroidery Personal with Lisa Solomon

We are so happy to welcome Lisa to Sew L.A. for this very special workshop! Fresh from teaching at Purl Soho in New York, she's got some lovely projects in store for you. 

You'll learn how to transfer an image - a drawing or photograph - to fabric and then Lisa will show you how to embellish it beautifully with embroidery. Click here for all the info and to sign up - spaces are limited for this one-time workshop!

Also, any and all can join us after the workshop for a BOOK PARTY for Lisa's 'Knot Thread Stitch' book - she'll be there to mingle and chat and of course sign your book, and we'll have snacks and libations set out between 4:30 and 6pm. We'll see you there!
