I’m not known for doing things ahead of time (yes, I am a procrastinator) but I don’t think I can wait for several months to do my Spring cleaning in my Cottage. The new collections of gorgeous fabrics that I ordered last Fall are starting to arrive and I need to make room for all the bolts.

I’ve been sorting through all the fabric bolts and deciding and re-deciding (is that even a word?) which ones I can part with.

After looking around and seeing that I had created piles everywhere, I decided to just bite the bullet and put some of the fabric on sale.

Piles and piles of bolts everywhere - what a mess!

New Fabric Arriving!

The New Year is here and with it arrives NEW fabric from Moda! We really enjoyed our first trip to the International Quilt Market Trade Show and being able to see all the new upcoming fabric collections. Well, they are starting to arrive this month and I am SO excited!!

I fell in love with this fabric collection and just had to buy it all!

- Boutique by Chez Moi -

My daughter and I especially enjoyed visiting with the reps at the Riley Blake booth. They were so friendly and helpful. I think we were a little overwhelmed when viewing all their beautiful fabrics. I absolutley LOVED all of their collections and had a hard time deciding which ones to order for my shop. Keep watching my Etsy shop to see the great fabrics from Riley Blake.

2009 International Quilt Market Trade Show

I was on Cloud Nine last Saturday! My daughter, Samantha and I took a trip to Houston to explore the International Quilt Market Trade Show. It was held in the George R. Brown Convention Center with over 2000 vendor booths. I know we walked many miles that day but we were so excited that I'm sure we were floating around!

We were able to preview all the new lines of fabric, place orders, and meet a few of our favorite designers. I especially enjoyed meeting Lila Tueller and seeing her new Eden fabric collection. I fell in love with this collection and I look forward to having it available in my Etsy fabric shop (www.CottageBellesFabric.etsy.com).

My daughter Samantha and I were partners in an internet business known as Cinnamon Creek Crafts for several years. We enjoyed making a variety of items and selling them to hundreds of great eBay customers. We were able to become Power Sellers on eBay and we created and sold over 1,000 quilts.

We now have new and exciting changes in our lives ~ Samantha and her husband have purchased a new home outside of San Antonio and she has started her own business ~ Buttercup Forrest.

Because of my love of fabric (last count I had over 300 BOLTS!) I have decided to open a new shop on Etsy ~ Cottage Belles Fabric ~ where you will find just the right fabric for your handmade projects.

Be sure to check out all our shops on Etsy
ButtercupForrest ~ where you will find Samantha's Baby Goods for Stylish Moms
CottageBelles ~ where you will find my handmade items
CottageBellesFabric ~ where you will find an abundance of fabric for sale

Check back often ~ we will both be adding new items to our shops every week
