"Compendium..." is essentially everything I used to cover on my Monday patchwork classes as a companion to your quilting life.
"Fabulous Fat Quarter Bags" is just what it says - a brand new selection of bags made from fat quarters.
There are some new kits and new workshops listed too.
I will also be adding the long-awaited fabric pages! I sell vintage Japanese kimono fabrics at some of the quilt shows I attend, choosing fabrics that have interesting textures and fibres, so they can be used successfully for non-Japanese quilting projects too. All these fabrics are traditional narrow width for making kimono - approx. 14 - 14 1/2in wide. These will cover several categories - see sample photos below -
Cotton for yukata (summer casual kimono) includes traditional stencilled cotton (1 metre i.e. one pattern repeat minimum cut) -
stencilled cotton in modern colours (1 metre i.e. one pattern repeat minimum cut) -
modern "cute" printed yukata cotton -
men's yukata cotton with geometric patterns.
Shijira is a crinkly cotton also used for summer kimono, produced on Shikkoku, Japan's smaller middle island. I have stripes and checks and will also be listing recycled shijira cotton packs.
Cotton tsumugi is the kind of fabric that was once used for work clothes. I have lots of different stripes.
Wool kasuri has funky retro patterns woven after the threads are dyed.
Wool and silk blends -
Wool prints -
Silk tsumugi -
plus various silk chirimen (crepe), rinzu (damask) etc. Too many to list here, so check the website soon!
