Twin Cities Quilting

Just in: Third in Line

Designer Marcia Derse has created a stunning line of quilting fabrics for Troy Fabrics. Appropriately named "Third in Line," is her third offering of this contemporary look. These original designs create a hand-dyed look without the hand-dyed price. Many of the prints represent cloth that has been hand-dyed multiple times. The subtle details found in the designs leave in those irregularities so commonly made when dyeing fabrics. Her colors are rich without verging on too bright or overly muted choices. There are 24 bolts: here's a sneak peek:

  
A total of 19 new prints, created to simulate a layered hand-dyed look.

Five solids with the color variations of hand-dyed cloth.

 

Princess Mirah Batiks

The new line of Princess Mirah Batiks by Bali Fabrics just arrived. There are 13 bolts total, including beautiful reds and greens for the holidays! These are some great true reds which are so hard to find in batiks. The blue star patterns are in two values with a touch of greens and purple appearing across the surface. All the bolts have truly vibrant color!
