Beauty is You is Here!

Now I promised that my last post, which promoted new fabric on our website, wouldn't be a regular occurrence. But then this very special fabric line arrived and I just had to share it with you!

As soon as I saw 'Beauty is You' by Cori Dantini a few months back I just totally fell in love!

For weeks now I have been seeing it advertised on USA websites and have been patiently waiting for it to arrive on these shores.

And now it's here it is even better in the flesh than in the photos! 

I love the delicate, sketchy, coloured pencil style. It seems very different and original to me and I can't wait to use it in something. 

The colours are subtle yet rich, I have such a thing about orange with pink at the moment and I think I liked this scalloped one below the best. Or maybe I like the orange flower above the best! I love them all! And I really hope you do too. I would be very interested to know what you all think and whether you share my enthusiasm.

Another new line that arrived today is the very funky 'Crabtastic' by Maude Asbury. Both of these lines are by Blend Fabrics.

All these fabrics are available on our website now and the special 'Blog Reader' discount code I gave you on Saturday is still valid and can be used on all of these new fabrics. Just put craftyfox into the discount code box and update your cart!
I promise normal service will be resumed in my next post!

Saturday Shopping

I thought I would do an occasional promotional post so I can keep you up to date with all the new fabric we have appearing in our Edinburgh store and on our website. AND give all my loyal followers a little incentive towards some shopping! But first you have to look at all the pretty fabrics...

I am absolutely loving this new Perfectly Perched line from Laurie Wisbrun. I always loved her Tufted Tweets but never got round to buying any. We just got these in this week, which was a surprise because the Robert Kaufman site says it isn't available till August! I don't know how I managed that!

Also in this week, a couple of Robert Kaufman designs called 'Cut & Sew'. The other one features thread spools.

We have this gorgeous Blend fabric, Vintage Ladies by Melody Ross, in 2 colourways.

Also by Melody Ross this is Patchwork Flowers.

Another new line that Robert Kaufman says isn't available till August but that I have already got my grubby little hands on, is Little Kukla by Suzy Ultman (who is turning in to one of my favourite designers). I love it's folk art feel and...

...these Babushkas would look great in my Peekaboo Quilt!

We also have our first Christmas line in this year, Santa's Workshop from Riley Blake. They are not overtly festive though, I would use this pretty stripe all year round.

That's just a little taster, there's more over on the website, and just to tempt you further here is a discount code you can use to get 10% off ANY purchases on the website (for a limited time) craftyfox. This is just for those of my loyal readers who've got this far down the page!

And I just wanted to let you know about a very exciting weekend I have coming up.  First off, next Saturday the 28th, we are having our Craft Studio Open Day to celebrate our first anniversary. We will be having FREE craft taster sessions, plus 10% off bookings and purchases, and cake and wine! So any local peeps amongst you, please feel free to come along! More details here.

And then on the Sunday I will be hosting a Sewing Day for a few Scottish Quilty Bloggers! It will be a sort of mini FQ retreat day (very mini!) at the Bearpaw Craft Studio. There will be 8 of us in all and I will give you a full report when it's over!
