This week at the Fat Quarters

Hello

Just to let you what's happening this week here at The Fat Quarters.

Product Of The Week

This weeks product of the week is Six Penny Memories 'Colliery Days' book.
This fantastic new book is completely different to anything you may have seen before.
It is more than a project book. Set in the North East of England and a stones throw from The Fat Quarters it is a must for quilters new and old.
The projects are easy to understand,and the templates are full size.

'Canny Keepsakes - Colliery Days' Description
Florrie & Betty took inspiration from the rich heritage around them. As Beamish Open Air Museum is on their doorstep they focused on the Colliery Village, rebuilt and set in 1913.
They loosely broadened the era to include the late Victorian and Edwardian periods. The fabric range they have used complements the era, producing a vintage feel with a contemporary twist.
Over twenty projects are interwoven with Florrie's memories, Betty's rhymes and recipes, and some really beautiful imagery.


The book is only £9.74 in our SUMMER SALE! 

New in this week! 

We have just had a delivery of more Moda 'Grunge Hits the Spot' fabrics with beautiful grey, black and dark green. The fabric is included in our SALE at only £11.20 per metre.
 Moda bakery, Snowman Gatherings 3 collection is also in! Perfect for getting ready for Christmas with Snowmen, Snowflakes and stars. They are included in our SUMMER SALE. Charm packs are only £8.99 and Layer Cakes & Jelly Rolls are only £24.74!
