It is no surprise that Annie Unrein of Patterns by Annie has created the perfect mesh for all of your purses, totes, and storage needs! Vinyl mesh has been around for a long time and still is the best choice for some applications.
But this polyester mesh is easy to sew; soft and pliant – the perfect choice for pockets so you can see what is inside.
Item #SUP209-APGR
It is available two different ways – pre-packaged in 18″ x 54″ size or on 15 yard x 54″ bolts (the bolts are Drop Ship only).
It is available in several different colors – and will be available next month. Please help our buyer by placing your order now. Obviously white will be popular – but what other fashion colors will you choose???? Visit our website to see the entire collection and the patterns that support it: Patterns by Annie.
I am talking about fabric lines! In Stashbusters – a new book by Sarah Maxwell and Dolores Smith – explains how to choose fabrics from your stash and create spectacular quilts!
Item #KCS11195 Retail $24.95
In this case, the projects are great but learn from the experts. Don’t just skip to the projects – read how to choose fabrics. Dolores loves to embellish with appliques so working with wool is covered as well.
Here is just a taste of some of the projects. Did I mention that the photography makes you want to go house hunting???
These are just a taste of the nine projects included in the book. Let them teach you how to “control” scrappy and use up that stash!

I love, love, LOVE these new Creative Grids® releases! I love minis and could never achieve perfect log cabins in four and six inch sizes until now! These trim tools also create Courthouse Steps and Half Log Cabin blocks – with the cutting requirements printed right on the tool!
Item #CGRJAWMN4 Retail $12.95
Item #CGRJAWMN6 Retail $17.95
I am not exaggerating! I have made over 700 log cabin blocks in 4″and 6″ sizes – and they are just as accurate in the 4″ size with 1/2″ logs as they are in the 6″ size with 3/4″ logs! In fact, I love them so much that I wrote a book based on the six inch size – but more about that when we have a publishing date!
Jean Ann wrote a book that is available NOW – yes it is in stock!
Item #JAWBK01 $17.99s
This book includes patterns for projects made with the four AND the six inch log cabin tools.

Enter Edyta Sitar. She is known for her breathtaking color selections in scrappy quilts. Just look at the cover of her book – Friendship Triangles.
Item #L11248 Retail $24.95
To make it easier to create this variety of fabrics, she is releasing triangle paper next month. The papers are designed for 5″ and 10″ squares – and come in multiple sizes. Each package includes 25 sheets.
The number of triangles created from a package depends on the size of the triangles. For example, a package of 1 1/2″ finished triangle papers designed for five inch squares makes 200 triangles.
Item #LBQ-0523-X Retail $6.00
The papers for ten inch squares makes 800!
Item #LBQ-0528-X Retail $8.00
Visit our website to see all of the different sizes – and everything Edyta Sitar! They are expected to arrive in April.
Cut Loose Press™ patterns are designed for shops to demonstrate products. They are reasonably priced and are easy projects to showcase tools, notions, and techniques.
For instance, Rainbow Swirls was created with the Creative Grids 6″ Curvy Log Cabin Trim Tool.
Item #CLPJAW032
Drum roll please!!!! The minimum order has been changed from twelve to six – which means smaller shops can now participate. AND, they have added a hang-hole at the top so they can be easily hung for display. Everything else you loved about CLP stays the same.
For those of you who haven’t tried Cut Loose Press™ (CLP), here is a perfect example of why you should.
This six inch log cabin trim tool designed by Jean Ann Wright is one of a series of trim tools – and is a great demo! The technique? The strips for the logs are cut 1/4″ larger than needed. Each round – which consists of two wide and two narrow logs – are trimmed before the next round is added. Any variation caused by cutting, sewing and pressing are corrected before the next round is added! Perfect results every time!
Item #CGRJAW6 Retail $17.95
Now that you have everyone’s attention, why not offer a class immediately after the demo? Why not offer the class FREE if they buy the tool and kit for Roundabout – this gorgeous tablerunner – another favorite CLP!
Item #CLPCAM007
Once your customers see how easy it is to create these intricate designs, they will want to do more. Many of these patterns are fat quarter friendly so it is easy to kit. If you don’t sell a kit, just return the fat quarters to inventory! Absolutely no risk!
Item #CLPJAW021
Item #CLPJAW029
These patterns also suggest other notions that your customers may want. For instance, since these are scrappy quilts, a Bitty Buddy by Gypsy Quilter is convenient because it is a tabletop waste basket that collapses to carry to class.
Item #TGQ007 Retail $9.50
These companion items are listed below each pattern on our website. The yardage requirements for each pattern are shown on the website as well so you can check out the kitting requirements. Why not score a trifecta – fabric, notion, and pattern???
