Written by Gloria Massard from Sew a Quilt.Com. Liz Scott must have been hungry when she created the Sugar Pop fabric collection. I'm sure it's true, because she loves candy stores, ice cream parlors and confectionery delicacies. Clearly, this fabric features a "taste" of those inspirational goodies. Punchy florals, nature motifs accented with dots and bright, vibrant colors command your attention. With the variety of scales and compositions, you can create to your heart's content. Sugar Pop fabrics are great for crafts, home decor, apparel or quilting. You can't get much sweeter than that! Copyright 2004-2011 Sew-a-Quilt.com

Written by Gloria Massard from Sew a Quilt.Com. Travel to London's sophisticated dressmaking district! This gorgeous collection features traditional calico florals and hedge prints. When you run this fabric through your hands, it feels like gossamer. That's because it's made of super fine cotton lawn. What is cotton lawn? It's a very light, plain weave fabric. I absolutely love the pastel colors and delicate prints. I know you'll appreciate the variety and versatility of these designs. You could sew tablecloths, placemats, kitchen curtains or, even a quilt! This is a limited collection which won't last long. Copyright 2004-2011 Sew-a-Quilt.com

Written by Gloria Massard from Sew a Quilt.Com. The La Petite collection takes us back to another time, the 19th century. As the name implies, this collection is French inspired. Think of old fabric prints that young school girls might have worn, or fabrics that covered their school books. The prints are purposely small, but they make a big impact. Alphabets, dictionary pictures, dots, stripes, flowers and everyday life symbols are done in shades of French blue, old red and hemp. Experience this fantastic French collection!
