More new patchwork/craft fabrics.

The first photo reminds me of Vincent Van Gogh's "The Starry Night".

The second fabric is black and white cats in a herringbone pattern.

The last fabric is of different breeds of dogs. Can you spot your dog in this print? Do you have a favourite?

Very catchy prints.

We have Cats galore in store!

Check out these new additions to our craft/patchwork fabric. They are lovely and bright prints and would make a beautiful quilt, cushion or any craft item (especially if you are a cat lover!).

The last photo is a quilt backing that is approximately 2.74 cm wide. It looks like it has been hand quilted. It also goes well with the first multi coloured cat fabric photo, but would be a great addition to the back of a quilt.
