NEW: Bella Solids + Fairfax Linen Solids + Kona Wander


Welcome to the 40th edition of the Sewfinity newsletter, written by me, Angela Bowman.

Hi from Angela

Meridian Idaho, Sunday December 28, 2025

Good morning! The holidays are almost over, you feel the need for a fresh boost of creativity, and we are here for you.

In fabric news, Riley Blake Designs has a new linen collection called Fairfax Linen Solids - we have all 30 colors. Plus we have Robert Kaufman's 2026 Color of the Year. Read on to see those.

But our big news for you this month is two-fold. We have an entire new quilting cotton solid line: Bella Solids by Moda, and we have some major new updates to our new tool Sewfinity Colorway that I know you are going to love.

First up, Bella Solids. This is a BIG deal for us. We have been saving up to get into this fabric collection, and are extremely excited to offer it to you. It's a big offering of 354 colors that you now have at your fingertips, because as you may know, we are committed to having every color of complete collections.

The other ginormous news is that we made some pretty significant updates to our online color tool Sewfinity Colorway. The best feature in my opinion is in the Find Colors panel: List View. This new list view of swatches is really handy for when you know the exact colors you want:

  • view the alphabetical list of fabric names
  • click click click the ones you need
  • review your palette
  • select Buy and enter quantities
  • Add all to cart - it saves SO much time

Still like seeing the grid view? Just switch with the click of a button. There's also new sorting options (alpha or color) in both grid and list views. And there's a new Search bar!

I'll be sharing some video demos soon... so stay tuned on our Instagram or YouTube :)

I really think we've built a completely unique and fun fabric shopping experience with Sewfinity Colorway. Now go play with Colorway! FYI, it's an absolute joy to use on the iPad.

Bella Solids

Here are Bella Solids, the solid quilting cotton collection by Moda Fabrics. This is the current line of over 300 colors, with 18 new colors by Elizabeth Hartman arriving soon. That will bring the total colors to 354!

And yes, we added Bella Solids to our Sewfinity Colorway tool!

Fairfax Linen Solids

Fairfax Linen Solids by Riley Blake Designs are a blend of 55% linen / 45% cotton. There are 30 colors and we have them all.

They have the same blend as Essex Yarn Dyed linen by Robert Kaufman, but they read more as solid than as a 2-color yarn-dyed.

Fantastic for quilts, napkins, pillows, clothing, and more.

An idea for you: go to Colorway, Find Colors, select Fairfax Linen in the dropdown, and build a bundle! I just did that, and am looking at Le Creme, Mellow Rose, Mulberry, Bleached Denim, and Natural. So gorgeous!

Kona Cotton - WANDER

It's here! Kona Cotton Solids 2026 Color of the Year is WANDER.

It's a calm, deep yellow green. We assign a color value to every single solid we offer (0 lightest to 10 darkest), and WANDER is a YG7.

Surprisingly, we only have 1.25 yards and 10 fat quarters left in stock - we almost completely sold out after sharing this on Instagram - people are loving this color! But don't worry, we have several more bolts on order. If you want to be notified when it arrives, just reply to this email and I'll add you to my notification list.

Welcome to the 48th edition of the Sewfinity newsletter, written by me, Angela Bowman. Hi from Angela Meridian Idaho, Sunday October 4, 2026 Good afternoon ☀️ I am happy to report that I have actually been sewing lately! Whenever I get back into it after a non-sewing spurt, I feel pretty dumb because it really is a key to my happiness. I finished my Copihue quilt that I've had in the works for a lonnnnng time, and I just love it. I also made a little lunch bag for SewPINK with some bright and...

Welcome to the 47th edition of the Sewfinity newsletter, written by me, Angela Bowman. Hi from Angela Meridian Idaho, Sunday September 6, 2026 Good morning ☀️ Let me tell you.... we had some of our busiest days ever in the Sewfinity warehouse this week. Due in part to The Grimoire quilt pattern released by Eva of Gingerly Quilt Co. What's Grimoire? (confession: I had to look it up). It's a book of magic, or a spell book. Think potions, stories of dragons, enchanted roses. This quilt is...

Welcome to the 46th edition of the Sewfinity newsletter, written by me, Angela Bowman.

The end of August always feels like a new beginning to me: nights get cooler, I turn another year older, and I start planning what I want to nestle in with for the fall and winter. I'm...
