There are so many different kinds of projects
and crafts that you can do with
Renaissance Ribbons,
the limits seem boundless! But what makes these special are that they
are from the Designer Collections made from well-known
fabric designers such as Kaffe Fassett, Amy Butler, Parson Gray,
Anna Maria Horner, and Sue Spargo!
Some of our friends bought some and told us they were making
belts, pillows, bookmarks, and headbands. Such great ideas!

Have you heard of
Liberty London fabrics?
We just received some from Europe! They are manufactured in
Italy and England and the quality of these fabrics are superb.
The fabrics that we chose are from Liberty's Classics Collection.
But classic doesn't mean it's not modern. Liberty of London's timeless
designs conjure up vintage visions of carefree summer days. From watercolor pastels
to abstracted brights, the possibilities are endless whether used alone
or sprinked in among other current designers' fabrics. Liberty offers an original,
one of a kind look, but the feel is just as distinctive and what truly sets it apart.
A finer thread, woven into a higher thread count, makes for a lightweight,
silky feeling fabric that offers a beautiful drape for clothing,
luxurious softness for bedding or a unique refined texture for quilting.
With such beautiful fabric we decided to do something fun
and Kathy Ranabargar made an exquisite blouse using one of the fabrics!
We will be making a class for this blouse soon!
