SATURDAY!!! Please join us on Main Street front 4-6 as we celebrate a new book from with bubbles, cake, and LOTS of sparkle! It's an opportunity to get all dolled up in your fanciest frocks, but don't let that scare you away if you're just running errands in your sweats, all are welcome.

We have plenty of books available if you'd like to have a copy signed, you can also reserve one on our website if you want to be EXTRA sure, or if you can't attend the party but would like to pick up a copy later. Link in bio!

The dragons have landed!! Fireglow from and is here and yeah...pretty darn cool, and going fast. We have two of the canvas prints, most of the teal colorway, and just a few charm packs and jellyrolls left. It's a fire-breather!

The All New York Shop Hop is in full swing! This year's giveaway is these nifty block cards. Every store has a different block; just sewed ours up. Good practice on that scant quarter inch!
We didn't end up with any of the Hop batiks so I pulled together a nice grouping from our shelves, including the roses from .hauer. It IS the NY state flower, y'know!

To all the many kinds of humans doing the endless modes of Momming: Here's to us. This world needs all the nurturing (and protection from our own worst impulses) it can get.

And as always, thanks for the beauties! We are all trying to enjoy them in our way! 🤣🌷🤣🌷🤣🌷🤣

Me Made May! Are you playing this year? I think I'm going to do weekly round-ups of my outfits. And watching everyone else's keenly, because I need a wardrobe refresh due to size changes.
If you used a pattern, fabric, buttons, etc from B&F please tag us to get entered into a weekly drawing for a $50 gift certificate! Or, come to the store wearing your me-made for a double entry!
This is the Remy Raglan from in a cotton woven. It's maybe 4-5 years old? Pants are Universal Standard.
