Ahhhhh....SPA

Hello Dear Friends!

Hope that your summer has been passing smoothly and it has been filled with blue skies.
Speaking of blue skies, I wanted to introduce you to my newest fabric collection, called "SPA."

It is a fresh new group featuring blues and white, available in stores

this month (August.)

Throughout this clean, crisp collection are different shades of

blue,  from relaxing "spa"blue to rich cobalt blue.

If you were at Spring Quilt Market, you might remember

my entire both was blue and white......

Barb, of Coach House Designs, once again created beautiful patterns using

my fabric.  Be sure to stop by her website to check them out!

SPA just makes me want to take a deep breath,

relax and unwind.

Or....just look at the blue sky and remember why blue is one

of my favorite colors!

Hope you enjoy "SPA!"

Always,

Deb
