Sevenberry Delivers Again

Receiving a delivery of Sevenberry fabrics is really quite exciting. Today as I was opening boxes and rolls I got more and more excited as I pulled each fabric out, scrutinizing their colours and textures and then placing the fabrics into stories and seeing how well they work together.......

Gorgeous pin whale corduroys lived up to my expectations and have come in looking delicious and feeling like soft seal skin

Beautifully soft and thick cotton flannel is also very luxurious to touch

 

Earlier in the week we also received a delivery from Kokka including Nano Iro - double gauze and sateen and some great basic stripes from Stof fabrics

 Our selection of novelty and nautical fabrics grew today with this fresh little selection. 

We also received a lovely selection of pretty florals from Sevenberry and our Asian Inspired Indigo's and Linens have been replenished with new designs and new colours. 

New Season Liberty tana lawn Classics also arrived. 

We look forward to seeing you soon.

Take a Sneak Peak at what's been happening this week at Materialise

40 New Liberty tana lawn fabrics arrive tomorrow (Sat 12th July). So pop in and take a look!

This week we had these two scrumptious "primo plaid flannels arrive. These flannels are the real deal and are beautiful and thick. I have been thinking about these two fabrics since the day I ordered them (Sad but true.....) So it took all my energy not to cut a length of each to make p.j. pants for Liberty and myself today.... (I need to finish a few UFO's first...)

 This past week Shelby and I have had a bit of a chance to work on our latest Liberty quilt "Trip Around the World". 

One more block and I'm hoping it's finished

With some scraps from our quilt I pieced up this little fresh number for the top of a little stool which will come in handy when working on the design wall. I also made bias binding using Elizabeth which is a rich, dark purple/blue and wrapped the base of the stool 

For those who pop in week to week you may have seen Michele's stunning "Tree of Life" which is a bit of a show stopper. For those that haven't seen it, here is a little sneak peak.

Don't forget about our Gorgeous Liberty Giveaway that we are running for the month of July. We have four stunning packs up for grabs so make sure you enter each category to be in the running. 

Seductive Stacks from Yuwa Fabrics and a Lovely Liberty Giveaway!!

Yuwa Fabrics are gorgeous fabrics made in Japan. Yuwa produce a varied selection of styles on a range of very seductive base cloths. I'm thoroughly enjoying the range of textures and complimenting colours of the groovy retro selection above

Us girls at Materialise are always a fan of a strawberry, fresh or on fabric! Especially when teamed with these petite floral designs in eau du nil and canary yellow and pin dots in grey and dark pink. 

This amazing asian inspired print is available in two colours. The top piece has a charcoal black background with earthy tones in panels of khaki, rust and dark mustard yellow. The 2nd colourway has a dark purpley/bluish background colour with panels in purple, green and violet.

New Fabric Arrivals from Japan

New this week we have a range of limited edition Japanese Indigo fabrics that are block printed and wax dyed. 

These prints are quite different and varied from what I normally see and would make amazing cushions and quilts. We have an assortment of jelly rolls, fat 1/4 packs and cut lengths still available. Stock is limited and cannot be repeated. 

Also new are these gorgeous nautical themed prints for little boys. Very classic and not too baby.

New colours in the Japanese Linen spots have arrived.

 Gorgeous new petite floral prints with have a seersucker finish. Seersucker has proven to be very popular, the last time we had a similar cloth it was snapped up. These colours are so soft and pretty and have already been a big hit amongst customers for quilt backings and clothing...

Classic and cute, this sweet and versatile little print has rejoined us in a fresh new colour palette. 

 

Lately I've been trawling pintrest and seen lots of cool quilts using plain colours in all manner of designs. I have an urge to do a drunkards path. New in store is this amazing range of colours of couture cotton

A lovely and fresh selection of new buttons has also just arrived. There are some very special ones too. I personally love the glittery buttons and the diamante hearts.

When Dreams Come True

62 bolts of New Season Liberty Classics have just arrived!!!!!!!!!

 In Rich, Beautiful, Jewelled Colours....... plus many more beautiful colours for your enjoyment.

I get asked a lot for Liberty's in the blue shades so I have co-ordinated a lovely selection to cater for these people. Above is a small selection of what we have available.

This little grouping has a few of my personal favourites, I can't wait to get stuck into cutting these precious gems but at the moment I am busy co-ordinating packs and jelly rolls. You should see my house, every available chair, cushion, couch and table top has strips of Liberty draped over it as I decide which colours work the best together as a story....

These beautiful pinks are heaven sent. Betsy in this new pink and red colourway is very special. Elizabeth is a new design (sprays of roses shown here in two colourways) and is also top on my list of favourite fabrics.

All of this would not have been possible without a select few key people and I would like to thank them. I would also like to thank the Strawberry Thief for seeing the potential in Materialise and in myself with regards to Liberty and working together with us as a TEAM to bring these gorgeous Liberty fabrics to you. 

It has been a long time coming and as Mum use to say "Good Things Come to Those who Wait".

My Mum definitely had fairy blood so I know she is an Angel, so Mum if you had any part in making this happen for us you know how grateful I am. I Love you so much and I miss you every day. 

New Japanese Ranges

We have had a diverse range of japanese fabrics arrive over the past few weeks. Here are a few to peak your interest. 

This very classic and stylish french floral by Yuwa is so versatile with beautiful wedgewood blue and french navy and 10 different floral designs within the piece. I couldn't resist it and am whipping up some napkins for home that way I'll see it everyday and can admire it. 

These two gorgeous Naomi's by Yuwa are also back by popular demand. 

We got some nice new pink and blue florals perfect for little girls dresses, especially smocked frocks!

the grey floral is a beautiful double gauze which is extremely soft. Liberty needs some new pj's so I think this is the one.

This little selection of Yuwa fabrics compliments a lot of the Japanese fabrics we already have in the store. 

Fresh and fun, this 1930's print in 4 good colour shades that will match with 1930's that you have in your stash. 

Old Roses by Yuwa. I'm in love with the grey rose which gives off hues of mushroom. This cloth is superfine and is going to make some great cushions. 

Classic Yuwa florals and paisley's that you know and love....

We selected these gorgeous little prints for children's clothing. This new Japanese brand D's Selection is proving to be extremely versatile. The cherry print is divine. The surface of this cloth has a beautiful sateen lustre and the colour is a cross between navy and dark purple, it's very rich....

Great co-ordinates for the boys. This check is really cool and will be very useful in all kinds of projects. 

Multi coloured spots for girls and boys this time. Great as a co-ordinate or for backings on a baby's quilt. 

We have also increased our colour selection of Aurifil threads in the 50 weight for free motion quilting and the 12 weight which I love using for embroidery. 

We hope to see you soon. 

For the Boys

 Just arrived for the boys.... This gorgeous little japanese whale print and friends is proving to be popular

Here it is mixed in a Boho Quilt using natural linen and 'Grunge' the soft red colour

 Shelby is nesting in a major way and made several of these little pram quilts using a liberty 9 patch mixed with a beautiful japanese linen. 

 Shelby used the 100% wool wadding because it is light and fluffy and great for babies and hand quilted it with love for maximum softness and quilty goodness. She used a beautiful sky blue aurifil thread (16w/red spool). Use this thicker purl thread for a more pronounced quilting look. 

Fresh new fun florals also arrived. Perfect for pyjama bottoms or little tops for girls. I have both on the go...

Lots of fun and new fat quarter packs to be found.....
