New Collection ~ Available Now! |
|
From Clothworks!
Sue Zipkin is a versatile artist known for her unique watercolor style. Whether expressing herself through a bright rainbow palette or a spectrum of soft pastels, Sue loves to create happy uplifting art. Her latest collection for Clothworks certainly does that! I know it put a smile on my face when I saw the collection! ~ Marsha
Painted Patchwork!
This collection contains 24 beautiful prints in berry and blues tones.
Click on the image below to see the fabrics up close and personal!

|
Inkling ~ Twin Quilt!
This quilt gives you an idea of how the 24 fabrics in Painted Patchwork "play" together! This is a quilt that can easily be reduced or enlarged to the size you prefer.
|
|
Two Colorways Within the Collection!
These two Bouncing Borders quilts show how a subset of the collection can be made to feature each colorway.
|
|
Town Square ~ Berry!
Look closely ~ this is a fast and easy way to use a panel or a fabric you just bring yourself to cut! In this case, the middle of the quilt is taken from the Painted Patchwork digital print, then blocks are added all around. Its easy block construction turns a panel (could be any panel or focal fabric) into a lap quilt (approximately 60in x 60in).
|
|
Town Square ~ Blue!
It may be hard to choose!
|
|
Bundles Available!
If you aren't sure what you'd like to make, you can't go wrong with these 24 piece bundles ~ available in Fat Quarters, half-yards and yards!
|
|
Update!
The fabric and kits for this program are estimated to ship late June, which means we will not receive it until after the July 4th weekend. As soon as we receive everything, we will ship your kit to you!
The Welcome Home program is now starting late July. Exact date yet to be announced.
Three Kits Left!
We ordered a few extra kits, so if you missed out on the original sales deadline, you can still grab one!

Fair Isle BOM Quilt ~ TWO Left! |
|
Calling all Deb Tucker Fans!
Deb Tucker's Studio 180 rulers are favorites for many of us. I remember being so thrilled after finding her Wing Clipper rulers many years ago. I could never make decent flying geese until then.
Deb has added many new rulers over the years and is now also designing BOM programs for island Batik, which of course, take advantage of the rulers she's designed.
Fair Isle ~ Two Left!
|
|
What's Included in the Program?
Our program includes all the original Island Batik fabrics as shown above, as well as a boo-boo bundle of extra fabric, binding, coordinating backing, and our famous cutting diagrams!
There are several Deb Tucker Studio 180 rulers required, which we can supply if you don't already have them.

When Does Fair Isle Start?
We have cut all the kits we can possibly cut and have TWO Left! Once you sign up, you can start any time. If you take the complete set of kits at one time, we'll pay the shipping to any US destination.
