Grand Opening SISTERSANDQUILTERS.COM


LINK TO .COM CLICK HERE



What's new on SistersandQuilters.com Quilt Shop?  2 new FAT Quarter Bundles!  
 All Star 2 in Greens and Blues on SALE.  We also added in a few Happier Teals.  This bundle is  only $10.94 - that's only $1.56 per fat quarter! Can't beat that!
These Knock Knock Fabrics by Dana Brooks for Henry Glass are new!  I love reds and yellows.
THINKING VALENTINES YET??? We have these charm packs in stock for only $8.59.  These would make a great Christmas gift for those quick table toppers.  


Take a look at these gorgeous Amy Butler Fashion and Travel Bags!












 

Amy's CARA tote is designed to flaunt and function. Easy curves and clean proportions let the prints shine. All organic cotton, woven trim, leather handles and piping, interior pockets and coordinated contrast lining.










And next, the beautiful Josephine Fashion Bags.  Loosely pleated and sweetly styled with coordinated fabrics and trim.  Sexy street fashion meets feminine grace in a bag meant to carry it all - anytime, anywhere.  All organic cotton, woven trim, leather handles and piping, interior pockets and coordinated contrast lining.


 Amy's ABINA always looks like you're on vacation (and maybe you are).  You can carry it all in this long beauty, and still draw envious eyes.  All organic cotton, woven trim, leather handles and piping, interior pockets and coordinated contrast lining.

 The Meris Duffle Bag. A truly generous duffle to inspire romantic getaways and stylish junkets! Taking cues from vintage Hollywood and modern travel, MERIS is sturdy enough to be thrown in te back of the convertible, but sweet enough to ride up front. All organic cotton, woven trim, leather handles and piping, interior pockets and coordinated contrast lining.





Traveling companion to MERIS, smaller MARNI inspires the same Wanderlust, yet easily stows below deck, or in the overhead compartment. All organic cotton, woven trim, leather handles and piping, interior pockets and coordinated contrast lining.



I just purchased a Cara bag (for my Kara) and the Abina Tote for myself!  I am so pleased with the construction - it is of very high quality.  I love the contrasting fabric lining and pockets (Sorry the picture is a little dark).  They are all Organic Cotton with low impact dyes and the highest grade leather accents, zippers, and trims.  The bottom of the totes are leather and they have those little ball feet (see pic above)  to keep your bags lasting a long time. I guarantee you will be thrilled with your purchase.

What's new at Sisters & Quilters?

Amy Butler's Fabrics from the Lark Collection combined with the new Modernology Fabrics by Art Gallery.


What do you think?  Gorgeous?  I think so too. Pictured here are Amy Butlers's Midnight Sparkle and  Treasure Box (4th and 5th fabrics from top).

And more Art Gallery Fabrics are in......some of your favorites are back along with some new!  

 Like this Medallion Iron Bazaar Bundle. One of our top sellers!  Especially the center Medallion Iron fabric in the center. This fabric drapes beautifully for skirts or dresses.  Pat Bravo is the designer.  She definitely has a fresh, contemporary look to her designs. Her goal - to bring you the latest "out of the ordinary" designs.
 We ordered more of these Coquette collections as well.  The Eggplant Oval Elements (2nd fabric picture 1) and the Sweet Pea Oval Elements (bottom fabric picture 2) were some of your favorites.
 I have seen a skirt made with the Coquette Flower Bed Blush and I loved it. This bundle pictured above includes; Flirt Power Grey, Sweet Pea, Flower Bed Blush, Eggplant, Mosaic Rose, and Mod Ring Slate.
This is a new print named Woven Passion from the Bespoken Collection.  
 Here it is mixed with a few other fabrics.   These fabrics really are easy to mix together.

Introducing... ECHO by Lotta Jansdotter

We fell in  love with this collection the minute we saw the sample cards.  The fabrics are much more wonderful than the pictures!  We just received them a few days ago and all ready we have sold some of each of the prints. They won't last long!

Are you familiar with Lotta Jansdotter?   "Lotta ‘s aesthetic is deeply rooted in the Scandinavian landscape.  Her Swedish heritage is also apparent in her pragmatic and self-sufficient approach to design. Lotta takes the basic craft skills she learned as a child, such as potato printmaking and simple sewing, and stretches them into sophisticated tools. Her look is sleek and urban" (Windham Fabric introduction).   I love the bold Moria flower design.  And the Florine reminds me of Dandelion seeds in late spring.   The above collection includes:  Moira Apricot Fabric, Ranka Sarsparilla, Florine Sarsparilla  
So this collection is my favorite.  I want to make a bag out of the Florine Brass Mesh and the Choma Golden Rod - with the Little Florine Urban Sunrise on the inside of the bag.  Don't you love this ironwood color? 
The above collections includes: Little Florine Brass Mesh Fabric, Florine Brass Mesh, Little Florine Urban Sunrise, Choma Golden Rod, and Aneta Ironwood Fabric  
This mix of Catalina, Indigo, and Navy Blue is classic.   The above collection includes:  Aneta Catelina, Moira Catalina, Ranka Indigo, Moira Deep Indigo,  and last but certainly not least is Ruta Navy.
If you would like to know more about her....you can find her on YouTube.  Make sure to watch the videos on potato printing!

This quilt is amazing! Click on the picture for a closer look!  Beautiful quilting.  This was made with the Luna II fabrics.

I just can't choose which burp cloth to share....these combinations are from our Urban Zoologie or Ready Set Go Bundles.  They were made by the ladies at Sweet Stitches Desgin and well, they just make us happy!  Look at the fun combinations.
 Do you need a gift for twins?


 I love these Coquette Art Gallery Fabrics picture below - what a fun combination this is!
 Also, these Diaper Clutch Holders would really come in handy.  Where were all these products when my children were little?

Katy J made these items for herself.  We love the bright colors.   Another fun quilt/burp pad project featuring Ann Kelle fabrics.  It is fun to see the fabrics together in a quilt! This collection is one of my personal favorites.  I am a succor for argyles.  Thank you Katy for sharing these with us. We have sold several of these helicopter bundles to Air Force wives making quilts for their babies or for decorating their boy's rooms.  The bag and ipad cover pictured below is from our Scribble Collection.
