New Blank Quilting metallic fabrics in stock!

Add a touch of luxury to your quilt with fabrics from our two new ranges from Blank Quilting - the Spirals patchwork fabric range or the Honeystone Hill fabric range. In gorgeous rich colours, both ranges have designs (spirals or leaves) picked out in metallic gold or silver, giving an overall effect similar to Japanese kimono fabrics. All fabrics are 100% cotton, and the quality can be felt clearly!

Freezer paper templates and Dogwood Trail Moda bundles now in!

If you enjoy English paper piecing with hexagons, but hate the tedium of cutting out and pinning the paper hexagons, we have a new product that would be ideal - packs of die cut hexagons cut from freezer paper, in two different sizes. With 2 inch and 3 inch freezer paper hexagons available, you can just iron on to the fabric (shiny side down), and they will stick for you to cut out and tack around, then will peel off easily when you've finished! Brilliant as a time saver, and to ensure you get accurate hexagons.

Also new in this week we have the Moda Dogwood Trail jelly roll and layer cake. Gorgeous floral prints in pink, green and blue designed to celebrate the Dogwood Trail tradition - a vast 12 mile tour show casing the flowering Dogwood trees, beautifully illuminated.

Moda Fa La La La La jelly roll and layer cake new in!

Uploaded to the website today we have the Moda Fa La La La La jelly roll and Fa La La La La layer cake (try saying that 5 times quickly!). This holiday collection from French General is filled with classic reds and grays with a touch of the old world green. Hand written letters with the lyrics to the classic French song, Fa La La La La, is the theme and gives this collection a particularly festive look. Rural French florals and branches make this group perfect for a warm winter quilt or stocking or two. Joyeux Noël!

Two new ranges and some extra wide fabrics!

New in to the website today we have two new ranges - a small selection of Disney Winnie The Pooh patchwork fabrics, including a lovely cot quilt panel, and also a range of tone on tone blenders from P & B Textiles, the Bear Essentials range. In fresh, bright colours, these are ideal fabrics for summer!

Also new in we have two new extra wide backing fabrics, one in white on cream and one in white on white, both delicate leafy designs. At 108" wide, these backing fabric make completing up to a king size quilt a breeze, without having to join fabrics - we also have a range of other colours in our extra wide quilt backing section, so whatever your quilt top design, we should have a backing to match!

Christmas patchwork fabrics in early this year!

Christmas has come early to Pelenna Patchworks this year - we have two new ranges of Christmas patchwork fabrics uploaded to the website, so you can get started on your Christmas projects in plenty of time! Brand new from Makower, we have fabrics from the Festive range and the Joyful range - the Festive prints are fun, novelty designs including Santa, Christmas puddings and robins, and the Joyful prints are more traditional stars, foliage and stocking designs in rich colours.

We have a discounted fat quarter pack in each range, six fat quarters giving 5% off the price of buying them separately, and we also have a Christmas stash pack of 10 x 10inch squares, great for small decorations etc.!

3 new Moda jelly rolls and layer cakes now in stock!

Brand new to the website we have Moda jelly rolls and layer cakes from three new fabric collections - Pom Pom de Paris by French General, Just Wing It by MoMo, and Grace by 3 Sisters.

As always, there are some great 'recipes' for quilts and other projects using all of these ranges at the Moda Bake Shop - with our new addition, we are especially loving the Just playing around baby change pad and play mat!

New arrivals and re-opening times!

Firstly, thank you for all your comments - our new baby girl, Kira, arrived on the 13th May, and is now home safe and sound. We have been in the Singleton hospital NICU until last Thursday, so are a bit behind with the re-opening of the shop - she had some serious lung problems at birth, but she is fine now, and very cheeky with it - as can be seen, she is very fond of blowing rasbrries! We are now open for orders, however to give the maternity cover (my brother Geraint!) time to learn the ropes no orders will be dispatched until next week.

Obviously, our heartfelt thanks go to the staff of the NICU, and I would like to draw attention to the charity Project Linus, which is one that we quilters can contribute to. Although just a small part of what goes on in the special care baby units, having seen the quilts used by premature babies, and my little one, first hand, I can honestly say they are very much appreciated by parents and staff alike.
