I am so thrilled I could hardly keep this to myself!

This bundle of gorgeous Cotton Couture solids just arrived in the mail from Michael Miller. I am going to turn them into an original quilt which will be featured in an upcoming issue of Quilty magazine!

Have you seen Quilty yet? Edited by Mary Fons, it's an amazing new magazine geared toward beginning contemporary and modern quilters which has quickly become one of my favorites.

Here it is! It turned out beautifully and fits perfectly. And most importantly, Hanna loves it!

It is fully lined. And even has hidden pockets.

What a fun project this was! Thank you to Michael Levine for carrying such great fabric!

This post was shared at Sew Country Chick.

Great dress. Thanks for sharing!

Join us for our Destash Bash!

We are cleaning out the studio and we are throwing a Destash Bash!

What does that mean?

That means a massive de-stashing of our end cuts! What kind of bundles do you like? 1 yard cuts, 1/2 yard cuts or pieces? I already know you want to see them, so here is a peek at what kind of bundles we have put together:

Our Destash Bash will only be going on for a few weeks.  As they sell we will be putting up new bundles, so be sure to check back weekly for fresh bundles! Once they are gone, they are gone!

Each bundle consists of a selection of cotton fabric end cuts in unusual novelty prints. 100% cotton end cuts (each approximately 44/45 inches wide) in beautiful bold patterns. Perfect for quilting and other sewing projects, mixed media or collage.

Check out these new cotton prints from Riley Blake.

So fun!

Introducing another one of our wonderful customers…

Say hello to Candice Ayala. She loves shopping at Michael Levine, Inc, but her favorite place is The Loft. After meeting her a few weeks ago, I knew we would love to feature her on our blog. I always find it inspiring to see what our customers are making with our fabric. She has recently got her blog up and running so take  peek and hopefully you will be inspired.

Here’s one of her pieces …

You can see more at her gallery.

A big thank you to Candice and all our bloggers out there!

More to see…

Here is a quick peek at what is going online as I type…

Shelburne Falls from Denyse Schmidt

The graceful swirling skirts and old-fashioned courtliness of New England contra dancing inspired Shelburne Falls, Denyse Schmidt’s latest collection of quilting cottons for FreeSpirit Fabrics. Long enamored with the foot-tapping rhythms and joyful movement of historic American folk dance, Denyse’s has created a timeless collection embodying that exuberance of spirit and small-town charm.

Her inspiration may be small towns, but her impact is big.

I love the combination of florals, plaids, and geometric. They just work so well together.

Here is lovely simple quilt that she shows for inspiration. While it is really simple, it makes me want to pull it off the door and curl up under it. I think that is what a quilt is supposed to say.

Post is here from Aneela Hoey.

It’s springtime in the meadow and the perfect time to pick a posy of pretty flowers, hop through the grass with the bunny rabbits or write fun little stories of all the adventures you’re having. These dainty illustrations are simply darling in springy soft shades of fresh picked lilac, honeysuckle and primrose.

What a great pallete for a little girls room!

Moda has also given us a wonderful collection called Indigo Crossing by Minick & Simpon’s. Check out their blog for some great inspiration.

No other fabric evokes 19th century America more than an indigo cotton. This collection of indigoes is taken from snippets and scraps from sewing baskets and linen cupboards, as well as from our own collections. We love a stack of indigo and white quilts stacked to the ceiling! We love the geometric beauty of blue and white. Freshly laundered and smelling of lavender, an indigo and white quilt is true comfort.

Indigo is so trendy right now. I love it mixed with a pop of color, say red, yellow, or orange. Take a classical look to a new level.

Last one for today is a new Folklorico. Take a look at these new skulls. So fun!

More to come next week!

Not brand new, but oh so cute!

from

Dino Roar is a really cute collection. I was walking between my two offices yesterday and came across this pillow that one of our buyers in almost done making.

She used the panel, the Dinosaur word print, and some green/olive piping and bam! an adorable pillow that is really simple to make. Here are a few pictures.It is not quit done, but I couldn’t resist. All she needs to do is finish stuffing it & sew up the seam. It should be on the floor any day now.

           

 

On the Michael Miller site there is a really cute quilt. Perfect for any little boys room.

Also great as a party theme or for crafts.

 

Roar!

It’s raining cotton…

I just wanted to share some of the new cotton prints that have come in since Quilt Market.

We’re crazy busy getting them all online, but here is a preview of what is coming!

New from

Here are a few from the new collection Mind Your P’s and Q’s by Keiki. Don’t miss out on Keiki’s adorable new fabric line that is perfect for kids quilts or other fun projects! A whimsical wonderland of quirky critters are at play and doodling away their ABC’s.

                                                                

We love juvenile prints, but also need something for those of you seeking a more traditional look.

Here is La Belle Fleur.

This beautiful collection of late 18th and early 19th century French floral prints were inspired by two old quilts the Designer found at an Attic Sale. Almost every one of La Belle Fleur’s charming prints has been salvaged from the two quilts!

                                           

Here’s one I really liked. Honey Honey by Kate Spain is buzzing with the sweet freshness of a summery seaside cottage garden in full bloom. Ocean breezes whirl throughout the collection. Lively tea roses in vibrant shades of coral, blush and violet are ready to be snipped and stitched into whatever project is in your daydreams! So take a stroll, and see what the tide washes onto the shores of your creativity.

                                                                                   

We are bringing a few of these prints in laminated so you have even more options of what to make with this fresh collection!

Now for a few flannels!

Perfect for cozy pajamas and so many other sewing projects!

                                                                                             

I found this beautiful quilt by Amelie Scott Designs. Click here to check it out.

I have to include a few from  Riley Blake as well.

 

                                                                                                                                                                              

I love this tossed birds flannel and of course who can resist a dot. Perfect as an accent or backing.

That’s it for now.

Don’t forget to check in daily here to see what new goodies are online.

And if you forgot all our cotton prints are 10% off EVERYDAY!

More to come next week!

 

Just had to share…

We love getting feedback from our customers. Here’s a note we received yesterday from one of our favorite customers.

Dear Regina -

Thank you SO much for your help in picking out the right ribbon to go with my fabric. I LOVED the double-faced velvet ribbon. I have attached photos of the pajama bottoms and top I made from the fabric and ribbon I got from you guys. I am so happy with them. But, more importantly, Michael Levine/Low Price Fabric.com is my new favorite place to buy fabric! I think I told you, I am out here in Montana, and there is absolutely nowhere to go. It is hard to buy this kind of stuff without seeing it, but now that I know I can get your excellent assistance, I feel like a whole new world of possibilities is open to me and my sewing! Thanks again, so much-

We want to send a big THANK YOU back at you. Our customers are what make us. We always want to give you the best service we can. Thanks for the great feedback!

Take a look at what she made…love flannel PJ’s. Perfect for the cold! Click here to get the fabric and ribbon.

 

Travel bag becomes silk, evening bag

Since I am a purse-maker, I should always be carrying the right purse for every ocassion. Recently, I attended to party that involved mostly standing and dancing. Honestly, I rarely get out to such events, so I didn't have the proper bag on hand for the evening. So course, I made one!

I used a pattern which, on the envelope front, looked a bit like a dowdy, travel bag.
