Welcome to the 32nd edition of the Sewfinity newsletter, written by me, Angela Bowman.

Hi from Angela

Meridian Idaho, Sunday December 15, 2024

Good afternoon!

Our big news for you this month: we have an entire new quilting cotton solid line: Confetti Cotton Solids by Riley Blake Designs. They are beautiful, and the price-point is reasonable, which is so nice. We just barely got them on our shelves and we already have a slew of customer orders. People must love this fabric line! We are very excited to offer it for you, and just like all the other solids, we are committed to carrying every single color. This addition means that we now have 5 complete collections of quilting cotton solids. Five! How many colors does that represent? I just now checked, and it's 948!

Other new stuff, below: 3-yard packs of 108" fabric, Kona Cotton's 2025 color of the year, and some new Flannel Solid colors. As I was adding all this fabric to our website, I decided to spiff up our front page a bit. Go take a look!

Enjoy your holidays!

NEW: Confetti Cotton Solids

This is Riley Blake Designs current line of 186 colors of Confetti Cotton Solids, with 114 more to arrive in February. That will bring the total collection up to 300 colors, and we will have them all.

The colors are beautiful and the hand is wonderful.

VERY EXCITED ABOUT THIS!

5 new colors of Flannel Solids

Robert Kaufman Fabrics just released 5 new colors of Flannel Solids: Coral, Hyacinth, Cornflower, Periwinkle, and Fresh Dew. That brings the entire collection to over 50 colors, and we have them all. This flannel is niiiiiiice, not like the flimsy stuff in the big box stores.

An interesting tidbit: one of Ken Kaufman's favorite sounds is the thud of one folded flannel dropped on another :)

Kona Cotton - Nocturne

We've got it: NOCTURNE! This is Kona Cotton's Color of the Year for 2025 and it is stunning! It's a rich shade of violet on the CMY color wheel.

We assign a color value to every single solid we offer (0 lightest to 10 darkest), and Nocturne is a rare V7 💜⁠

3-yard packs of 108" Wide

We now offer 108" wide fabric in 3-yard packs! This grab-and-go option is great for quilt backs up to a queen size quilt. And any extra makes an easy hanging sleeve plus some nice-sized remnants!

We used to offer this extra wide fabric by the yard, but the bolts take up an incredible amount of space on our shelves, so the new 3-yd packs allow us to optimize our warehouse storage.

Every month (or so) Angela writes a letter about her thoughts, behind-the-scenes stuff at Sewfinity, and things worth knowing in the world of sewing. It's like getting a nice letter in the mail. Not too spammy. And not too often.

Welcome to the 35th edition of the Sewfinity newsletter, written by me, Angela Bowman. Hi from Angela Meridian Idaho, Sunday June 1, 2025 Good afternoon! It's the first day of June, what a lovely day. It's 74 degrees with a slight breeze. Perfect. The bees are buzzing on my lavender plants, the birds are singing, and I'm enjoying the fleeting perfect couple weeks' worth of weather here in southern Idaho before it gets hot. My husband jokes that I'm a weather Goldilocks, and that right now...

Welcome to the 34th edition of the Sewfinity newsletter, written by me, Angela Bowman. Hi from Angela Meridian Idaho, Sunday March 16, 2025 Good morning! I'm sure you've heard the news: JOANN is closing. It's unbelievable really - a craft store that's been around for over 80 years with more than 800 stores will be gone soon. I certainly remember going to our local JOANN store, it was the only place nearby to buy fabric. I loved wandering through the fabric aisles, checking out the sewing...
