New Halloween fabrics from Riley Blake and Timeless Treasures

by modes4u August 25, 2015

Boo! Trick or Treat! Every year when we hear these words we are surprised how fast time has gone by. Although the pumpkins are still growing in the garden, in just a few weeks it’s going to be Halloween again. So it’s about time that we add new Halloween fabrics to our shop. We prepared ourselves with some spooky fabrics from Riley Blake. The adorable designs with little witches and vampires are just perfect for projects with children. For the older fans of ghosts and ghouls we also received some Timeless Treasures fabrics with gloomy graveyard atmosphere as well as funny fabrics with peculiar families, who live in horror houses like The Ghastlies and The Odditys. Halloween is coming. Don’t wait until the witching hour.

We love Halloween and the new Halloween fabrics in our shop.

Our visit to the Quilt Market 2015 in Minneapolis: Part4

by modes4u July 14, 2015

Our overall impression of the Quilt Market fabric exhibition in Minneapolis this year was absolutely great and we certainly like to visit again. We reserved our final post for some American brands, we were able to talk to and already carry in our shop. We loved the creative concepts of Michael Miller and the beautiful patterns of the new collections by Henry Glass. Many new fabrics of these and less known suppliers, like Blank Quilting can already be found on modes4u and more will be available soon. We are grateful for all the inspiration and are sure we can bring you many fantastic fabrics in the future.

Colorful impressions. We know Michael Miller fabrics will always brighten up our lives.

A wonderful quilt design and tablecloth by Michale Miller.

Great fun. The concept collection ‘Color Me’ allows you to choose your favorite colors for your fabrics.

This dress looks surprisingly well designed, albeit it was a spontaneous creation.

Seamless blending. Achieved with the perfect choice of the fabric’s hue matching the wall paper.

Busy at the Blank Quilting both with some beautiful flower patterns in the background.

Wonderland in pink and grey make you feel at home at once.

Great selection. Henry Glass impresses with an outstanding variety of design patterns.

Once upon a time at modes4u…

Even as grown-ups we keep dear memories of the magic of Cinderella, Elsa and co. With our enchanting Princess Life fabrics by Robert Kaufman you can now bring that childhood magic to your home again. Although we cannot guarantee your mice will sew the garments for you, with these charming designs we are sure to say.

The blog Mi Rincon De Mariposas made really nice Christmas pyjamas for children with our Robert Kaufman and Riley Blake knit fabrics. The color choice of red and green is perfect for Christmas, but the fabric designs are neutral enough to wear it throughout the whole year.
