New from Cotton Street Commons


Big Ben is a beautiful quilt that lends itself to more masculine fabrics, although it would be amazing in florals also.

The finished size is 60″ x 72″. The cover quilt uses a combination of wovens, flannels and texured fabrics. A great modern quilt. This would be a perfect college quilt just add another row to make it a college twin!

This is a fun Halloween quilt that goes together easily.

It combines piecing and abstract applique. The templates for the letters are included, all at full size. Both patterns are due to arrive this week so place your orders now.

Hands Free Magnification

With our aging population, I am thrilled that S.A Richards continues to develop products that make it possible for us to continue to enjoy our hobbies that bring us so much joy. The new PROP-IT Needlework Pattern Holder with Hands Free Page Magnifier enlarges text to twice it size!

This collapsible, portable pattern/book/chart holder can display, magnify and highlight–at the optimum reading angle–any printed or digital pattern or chart for embroidery, needlepoint, cross stitch, knitting/crochet & quilting.

The PROP-IT’s Magnet Board and moveable magnetic strips enable one to highlight pattern details by placing the Magnet Board behind the pattern and the Magnetic Strip(s) on the pattern (see above photo). To doubly ensure that nothing in a pattern is missed, the PROP-IT includes a patented 2-Power, HANDS-FREE 8in x 10in Page Magnifier that doubles the size of pattern details. Now you can easily follow the details of ANY embroidery pattern found in books, magazines, sheets of paper, tablet computers and smart phones!

When not in use, both the Page Magnifier and Pattern Holder can be collapsed flat and stored together in a 10in x 13 inch Zip-Lock protective storage case. The entire package weighs just 1.5 pounds.

These are due to arrive in the next few weeks so place your order now.
