During the Great Depression, every scrap of fabric was used and treasured. Flour,grains and seeds were often packaged in colorful feed sacks that were saved and used in every household. The fabrics from the saks wound up in clothing, quilts, and in the kitchen as dish cloths. Our collection of reproduction feed sacks prints feature pretty calicoes circa 1920-1950's. The sweet little designs are printed on authentic feed sack weight fabrics and will look just-right in your reproduction quilts. Use them for floral bags and in clothing, too. We will send you a selection of 10 different prints in fat-quarter cuts. (18" X 22")

This collection of 300 two-inch charm squares represents some of the fabric accumulated over the last 20 years by me as well as additions from three other professional quilters who gave me their leftover fabric. This is all unused cotton quilt-weight fabric, neatly cut into 2" squares. There are a lot of prints you probably haven't seen in a while. Some small prints, some larger prints, a few novelty types and white-on-white prints - lots of Concord and VIP fabrics, as well as many other manufacturers. As I have previously packaged these in 150 piece bags, each lot will have at least 150 different fabrics and no more than 10% solids. No ecru or white. A great way to add lots of variety to your quilting projects. From a smoke-free, pet-free home.

A computer techie by trade, Dewey Pellicano would rather swallow needles than be pinned down to a life of quilting. But when her mother passes away, Dewey must exchange code for calico as the new proprietress of Quilter Paradiso.

Between learning the business and dealing with a conniving employee who is also her sister-in-law, Dewey is ready to snap. During a national quilt show, quilting celebrity Claire Armstrong offers to buy the shop. But before Dewey can accept, she finds the famous quilter lying dead on the floor?a bloody rotary cutter at her side.

When hunky homicide detective Buster Healy enters the scene, romance flourishes... until another murder takes place. Can Dewey thread together the pieces to this murderous pattern before the killer strikes again?

Wild Goose Chase is the first book in the Quilting Mystery series featuring amateur sleuth Dewey Pellicano.
