Get Your Glow On! with Amy Butler

 

 

We can't help but GLOW playing with these new fabrics from our dear friend, Amy Butler! Her inspiration well never seems to run dry and we just love seeing the latest from her creative mind each season! This collection is a modern interpretation of Japanese folk prints paired with Amy's signature style and colors!

 

 

She's in the process of creating some brand new sewing patterns and she'll be releasing some knits and voiles from this line in Ocotber! We can't wait!!

 

 

 

 She's also developed seven awesome projects with little to no sewing involved for her Blossom Creative Suite!

 

 

Whether you need some new handmade clothing...

 

 

...accessories...

 

 

...or home décor, there's a perfect project for your needs, time or skill level!

 

 

 

Amy, you've done it again!! :) AND she's holding a little Glow Inspiration Contest to see how this new collection is getting everyone's creative juices flowing!!

Happy Sewing!!!

Support Brick & Mortar Shops, Visit Your Local Quilt Shop TODAY!!

Even though online shopping is amazingly convenient  we know how much you all LOVE being able to go into a physical quilt shop for ideas, inspiration, and information!! Not to mention to be able to see all the NEW Fabric's prints and color in person! The shades are never exactly right on our computer screens are they?? You really just can't beat actually being able to go into a brick and mortar shop in order to match or coordinate color palettes, compare print scales, or find that unexpected fabric that works just perfectly! 

The tactile and sensory experience of being inside a fun little fabric haven is another element of the physical store that we couldn't imagine our lives without!! Seriously every time I walk into our store, even though I've walked through those doors hundreds of times, it's still so refreshing and inspirational! The color, the creations...you won't leave our shop without AT LEAST a dozen new project ideas! Browsing through our Patterns, there's about a 30 that I have on my wishlist and cannot wait to try! But sometimes getting all the supplies still isn't enough to get us motivated is it? 

And that's where our Classes come in...a place where sewers can come and spread out with their machines and their projects and create with others is such a blessing and all of our students come away with new skills plus an invigoration for creating which is something all of us at the Cabbage Rose are very passionate about! Sometimes we just need someone else to say "YOU CAN DO THIS!" or to simply do it with us to get ourselves creating! And when you come to a Class at the Cabbage Rose, you get the support and direction you need to tackle that project that you've been wanting to try! The ability to create is so rewarding for everyone and we love seeing people's creative voice develop as well as being able to encourage others in their journey! Our teachers are especially gifted at this! With classes for kids who have never sewn before, aspiring quilters and handmade fashionistas, there's something for everyone! 

We are so excited there's now an official day to celebrate just how fabulous it is to have a resource like a local quilt shop around and we hope all of you in the DFW area can make it to the Cabbage Rose today to celebrate with us! The Girls will be doing some fun DEMOS all day starting at 12pm so grab an early lunch with some friends and then come spend the day with us!! PLUS, our 15th Anniversary SALE is still going on so ALMOST EVERYTHING in the store is 15% OFF!!! Come see what's new in the shop, learn a cool technique or scoop up some new goodies for less TODAY for VISIT YOUR LOCAL QUILT SHOP DAY!!!
