April's Musings

"Hey there all you quilters and stitchers!"


You asked for it! For years you've written to me, wondering how to get your hands on April Cornell fabric. Some of you even shared stories: you were so desperate for curtains to match your kitchen linens or for quilt squares in such-and-such a print that you were even tempted to—and some of you actually did! Cut up a favorite tablecloth to make it happen. Our fabrics have only been available for purchase in the form of beautiful bedding, table linens, and clothing. And so you can imagine it feels so great to finally be able to say: Until Now!

During the last few months, we've been in the development process with Moda Fabrics to create our beautifully soft and subtle "Poetry Collection" a wonderful mélange of paisleys, polka dots, plaids, stripes, and classic florals in a western prairie palette of sage, coral, butter, and smokey blue hues. Beginning this February, the new Poetry Collection, which includes 45 prints and 22 woven plaids, will be available in fat quarters for quilters, yardage for ambitious stitchers, and even a quilt kit that comes in a beautiful package with everything you need to stitch together an elegant quilt. It's the perfect gift for your friend the Quilter!

You can reserve your fabric today online at The Fat Quarter Shop. Click on "Shop by Collection," then go to Poetry Collection or visit the Moda Fabrics website to see the entire collection (browse by Catalog > Future Groups > Poetry Collection) and to find a listing of stores in your area that carry Moda Fabrics.

This is a new endeavor for us, and so I'd love to hear your feedback! Let us know what you think of our Poetry Collection.
