Crafty Frog... the name. Many people ask me why I called my business Crafty Frog. Easy it combines my two loves - after my family of course - craft and frogs, and by having a generic name it has enabled me to expand into whatever area I choose, whilst having a business name that couldn’t be forgotten. Those who have been to the shop will by now have seen my beautiful red-eyed green tree frog, sitting on his lily pad complete with needle in mouth and my ever-increasing range of frog mementos decorating the shop.

Ever fallen in love with a feature fabric, only to struggle finding coordinates that actually work with it?

It's one of the most common frustrations in quilting and patchwork. You find the perfect focal print, but the supporting fabrics either compete for attention or disappear completely.

That's exactly the problem that **Halcyon Tonals by Jason Yenter** were designed to solve.

Created for **In The Beginning Fabrics**, these beautifully textured tonal blenders provide depth, movement and colour without overwhelming your design. They add richness and visual interest while allowing your feature fabrics to remain the star of the project.

Whether you're looking for the perfect background, border, sashing, blender or stash-builder, Halcyon Tonals are the kind of fabrics you'll reach for again and again.

Featuring rich painterly textures and layered colour effects, these fabrics work beautifully in quilts, bags, home décor projects and modern patchwork designs.

🎨 Designed by the internationally acclaimed **Jason Yenter**
🧵 Produced by **In The Beginning Fabrics**
💜 Beautiful colours including Teal, Blue, Aqua, Purple, Magenta and Grape

If you're building a fabric stash, these are the workhorses you'll be glad you bought.

CRAFTY FROG WILL BE CLOSED ON MONDAY 1 JUNE 2026
As National Reconciliation Week comes to a close, we're reflecting on the beauty of Australian storytelling through colour, texture and handmade creativity.
Threads connect more than fabric. They connect stories, memories, traditions and people.
From native florals and earthy bush tones to fabrics inspired by our landscapes and skies, these collections celebrate the richness and diversity of Australia through craft.
Whether you quilt, stitch, knit or create, handmade traditions have always brought people together — around tables, across generations and within communities.

Looking for fabrics that feel truly special, not just another floral collection?

Many quilters and patchworkers struggle to find fabrics that create a genuine focal point without looking busy or overwhelming. The answer is often a collection with strong feature prints, elegant coordinates and colours that work effortlessly together.

🌿 **Under the Australian Sun by Leesa Chandler** delivers exactly that.

Inspired by Australia's breathtaking native flora and fauna, this stunning collection features magnificent waratahs, flowering gums, butterflies and botanical designs, all enhanced with beautiful metallic highlights. The result is a collection that brings sophistication, warmth and unmistakable Australian character to your next project.

To be honest, this is one of the most beautiful and elegant fabric collections we have seen in quite some time.

⚠️ Quantities are limited and once these prints are gone, they may be difficult to replace.

Whether you're planning a feature quilt, a special gift, a statement bag or simply adding to your stash, this collection deserves a closer look.
