Sunday Stash #40

A new stash addition - I just could not resist:

These fabrics are Market Fresh by Japanese manufacturer Hokkah House Designer.   The Market Fresh range of  fabrics are marketed as a canvas, for me that brings to mind quite a heavy weight fabric, which these fabrics are not.  They are only slightly heavier in weight than standard quilting cotton. These fabric have a lovely drape and texture and are definitely suitable for quilting.

  4. I love the Market Fresh fabrics & am lucky to be living in Tokyo where the choice of Japanese fabrics will drive anyone crazy! Happy Valentine's Day & Happy Chinese New Year too (which is also today!).

  5. Thank you for posting this, I wanted to buy that as well but the canvas threw me out of the market on that. I am glad to know now that is not a tough canvas material.

    Thanks for the help.

  7. I keep putting these into my shopping cart at Hawthorne Threads, then taking them out, then putting them back in, and again taking them out. You've just tipped me over the line. They're going back in and staying in!

  10. I love being introduced to new fabric. I've just designed a pattern with Saffron Craig's fairies fabric and it was so beautiful to work with. I can't wait to see what you do with it.
