Hi Everyone! My name is Jennifer, and I’d like to welcome you to The Little Shop of Stitches. I am the proud-as-punch owner of The Little Shop and am thrilled to pieces that Kristen was gracious enough to let me introduce myself to you.
The Little Shop of Stitches is your hometown fabric shop – online! Let’s take a little quiz and see if you too have the fabric-holic gene. Have you ever…
- Walked into a fabric or quilt shop, bought an armload of beautiful fabric, only to realize you don’t know what you’re going to do with it?
- Stepped into a fabric department and had a “kid in a candy store” feeling? (Bonus points if you started to sing any of the songs from the Willy Wonka movies!)
- Started to drool when you heard about the newest sewing gadget (just like your husband does in the hardware/computer/sports department?)
- Thumbed through a book of gorgeous quilt patterns and become conscious that your heart is pounding and you’re suddenly feeling flushed?
If you even giggled at any of the above, then you are my kind of girl!
I love, Love, LOVE fabric and even more, love sharing it with others who have the same appreciation of color, pattern, and stitchery.
While choosing your favorite fabric is a bit like choosing your favorite child, here are just a few of my current faves –
- The Jasmin collection from Fabri-Quilt
- Lark collection from Amy Butler
- And, my all-time favorite (at least for today) is the Vanilla Cupcake fabric from Studio E’s Sweet Shoppe collection. No calorie cupcakes? Yes, please!
In addition to bolts of lovely yardage, my second love has to be Moda’s precuts. These charming little packages include a small piece of each fabric from the entire collection, ready for you to slice up and create!
And, Moda’s precuts because of the diversity of the prints. Plus, you can put them all in the same project and get a scrappy, yet still coordinated look.
- I always feel like I am getting more for my money with
This post could go on for days if I’d let it — Patterns, sewing gadgets, projects for kids, hand embroidery, and more! I love it all!
