Some of the new fabrics in are Plume from Timeless Treasures, they redid the peacock in all shades of blue with metallic.   Rich,rich, rich.  That line is kitted up in Center Stage, an awesome wall hanging pattern from Mountain Peak.  We also did a new Asian line in that pattern too.  
 A new music line from Blank has arrived, it has two different piano key borders and is in blacks and whites.  Haven't come up with the perfect pattern yet but it's out there, just waiting.  
Some new  blenders from In The Beginnings are here.  They are very small dots that almost twinkle.  Cocoa is my favorite color.   We gotten in various Batiks that our nice but our favorite line is called Quilted in Honor that is red, white and blue. It has a nice flag panel.  
The new Real Tree goose and deer are in.  It is a vertical 36x44 panel with some nice coordinates.   
 Winter Stillness from Wilmington is a cool winter deer standing in the woods with a cabin in the background.   It has a lot of blue in it so of course we like it.  It is kitted up in a medium lap size. 

New wide backs have arrived.   Some from Paintbrush Studio, mostly in grays, are 118" wide.   We have wide backs in many different colors, over 90 to choose from.   One is a black with a metalic swirl in it.  A brown wide flannel has come in too, with eight more on order.
