🌸✨ NEW FABRIC IN THE SHOP! ✨🌸

We just received Anna Maria Textiles fabric from Northcott, and these prints are SO much fun! 😍

If you love fabric with a little personality, this collection definitely delivers. The combination of bold florals, tiny repeating prints, rich purples, bright oranges and fresh greens gives these fabrics such a unique look.

We especially love how these prints could work together—the larger floral brings the WOW factor, while the smaller print makes a great blender or supporting fabric. 🧵💜

Perfect for:

🌸 Quilts & quilt blocks
👜 Bags and totes
✂️ Small sewing projects
🏡 Home décor
🧵 Adding something different to your fabric stash!

Sometimes you just need to see a fabric in person to appreciate all those little details, so stop in and take a look!

📍 Available now at Millard Sewing Center!

Which one are you choosing—the bold purple floral 💜 or the sweet little orange & purple print 🧡? Tell us below! 👇

🏡🧵 OUR TOWN — AUGUST BLOCK IS HERE! 🧵🏡

It’s time for another stop in Our Town! The August Block of the Month kit from Riley Blake Designs is here, and this month we’re visiting “Between the Pages.” 📚💜

How cute is this little bookshop?! The purple gingham, colorful books in the window, and all those sweet details make this such a fun addition to the neighborhood.

If you’ve been building Our Town along with us each month, your quilt is really starting to take shape! Each monthly kit gives you another piece of the neighborhood to create, and at the end, all of those individual blocks come together into one adorable quilt. 🏘️❤️

📚 August: Between the Pages
✂️ Pattern + fabrics included in the monthly kit
🏡 Part of Riley Blake Designs' Our Town Block of the Month

And if you’re just discovering Our Town, it’s not necessarily too late to join us! Check with us about availability of the previous monthly kits so you can start building your own neighborhood.

📍 Stop into Millard Sewing Center to pick up August’s kit!

👇 Who would be spending way too much time (and money 😂) at Between the Pages if this were a real shop?

🌸🧵 NEW FABRIC ALERT — and this one has all the vintage charm! 🧵🌸

Dear Sweethearts by Sandy Klop of American Jane for Riley Blake Designs has arrived at Millard Sewing Center! ❤️ Riley Blake describes the collection as being inspired by those wonderful vintage fabrics you wish you could have them all — and we can definitely see why.

This collection has such a fun old-school, nostalgic feel with sweet florals, calicos, plaids, stars, dots, pinwheels and even the CUTEST little vintage toy prints. 🧸🌼⭐

The colors are just as fun — cheerful reds, blues, greens, yellows and soft pastels that feel like they came straight out of Grandma's fabric stash... in the best possible way! 😍

These would be adorable for:
🧵 Vintage-inspired quilts
🌸 Bags & accessories
🏡 Home décor projects
❤️ Children's quilts
✂️ Or mixing into your stash for that perfect retro touch!

If you love vintage reproduction-style fabrics, colorful prints, or anything with a little nostalgia, you need to come see Dear Sweethearts in person.
