I haven’t written to you in so long – and there is so much to tell you about!
We’ve just received an enormous selection of Silk Dupioni –in the most beautiful colors imaginable! You’ve just got to come by the site and see for yourself! http://www.eveningstardesigns.citymax.com/page/page/5207680.htm
While I tried to take a few photos to give you some idea of the extraordinary luster of these fabrics, the sun was not cooperating, so I’ll continue working on that! However, I’ve done my best to scan the colors to try to give you the best idea of the color. Remember, scanning flattens out the sheen of silk and other lustrous fabrics, but it can give you a pretty good idea of the overall color!
Most of the colors are offered as Fat Quarters and 1/8 yd pieces, since that’s what most Crazy Quilters buy, while we still do have a great selection available by the yard.
Also check out the great Silk Dupioni Fabric Packs we offer, where you can choose your own colors for a slight discount – these are inexpensive, and a great way to sample ALL the colors! http://www.eveningstardesigns.citymax.com/page/page/5219313.htm
We’ve also added a great selection of brocade fabrics! These have texture, some have shine, all have great colors to add to your pieces! http://www.eveningstardesigns.citymax.com/page/page/4066196.htm
One thing that has always distinguished Evening Star Designs from the other suppliers out there is our great selection of fancy fabrics! Where else can you go and get such a great selection of silks and other fabrics in 1/6th, 1/8th and FQ pieces of these wonderful fabrics? I spend lots of time scouring the planet to find the highest quality fabrics for the best prices I can offer, so that you can build a fancy fabric stash of first-quality fabrics that are beautiful, new and terrific for using in your Crazy Quilting!
I’ve been working hard to update our trim page, though I need to put together some new trim samplers now. That will be coming soon. http://www.eveningstardesigns.citymax.com/page/page/4294593.htm
What’s coming? Great new stuff! I’m still working to get up our Christmas page, as promised! Plus, there will be new charms that are small, delicate and very pretty, new freshwater pearls, (I’m hoping a new mini-kit, and new pattern), several great goodie bags and, yes, some very good “grab” bags of exceptional value!
I’ve just received about a dozen new Wildflowers colors that are just heavenly – with two gorgeous reds included! They’ll be up on the page as soon as I can scan them, so keep you eye out! http://www.eveningstardesigns.citymax.com/page/page/3992646.htm
Please keep an eye on the page, and also please keep in touch! I love to talk to customers, and that is exactly what our toll-free number is for! 877-889-7012 I can answer your questions anytime, and if I’m not home, please leave a message, and I’ll call you back as soon as I possibly can!
Our November Treasures Club will be going out early next week – it is beautiful – we’re just waiting for one more thread to make it complete! If you haven’t joined yet, what are you waiting for? You’ll love the packages – maybe Santa just needs a hint that you’d like to join next year!
Meanwhile, I hope Treasures Club members are taking advantage of our October specials on everything rose! http://www.eveningstardesigns.citymax.com/catalog/item/4376154/5201754.htm
Sarah has managed to put together a few more of your favorite Treasures packages from earlier in the year – check out the Treasures Package page to order one before they’re all gone! http://www.eveningstardesigns.citymax.com/page/page/4388932.htm
We will continue to make new and beautiful Fabric packs besides the ones already listed – plus you can request one in colors you like anytime! If you like Magenta Olive and Ivory, we can put together a wonderful package for you in those colors – we can also accommodate you with beads, threads seed and bugle beads, and any other things we carry! http://www.eveningstardesigns.citymax.com/page/page/4602052.htm
Let us Shop for you! We’re happy to shop for you! Over the years we have had lots of fun doing this for many of our customers!
While I’m still updating this page, I know I’ve already mentioned that we’re working to get up a brand new website! It will take us quite a while to get that going, but when we do, the address will be: www.eveningstardesigns.net
The sales of my new book, Evening Star Blocks with Variations for Crazy Quilters has been going very well, and I encourage all of you, especially those of you who sometimes have trouble with that very first step, the piecing of your block, to give it a try! I’ve had many very positive comments on it from experienced Crazy Quilters, who have been using it and enjoying it, despite the fact that they’ve been having no trouble piecing their own blocks for years! Come on, give it a try! http://www.eveningstardesigns.citymax.com/page/page/4888358.htm
Please call, email, write and just stay in touch! I love to hear from all of you! I NEED to hear suggestions – it’s hard to re-invent the wheel – If I know what my customers are looking for, I’ll try harder to find it! Of course I always love to hear positive feedback, lets me know that some of the directions I’ve gone in are the right ones!
P.S. We’re adding to our selection of Silkies all the time. I don’t put them all up on the web, as that would be extremely time consuming! I have sooooo many! Let me work with you to put together just what you’d like! And….. http://www.eveningstardesigns.citymax.com/page/page/4465832.htm
Don’t forget! The Flower Fairies ARE coming! I just received the final copy of the contract on Friday, and after I send it in and get it countersigned, etc., etc., I hope to have those available within a couple of weeks, finally (heavy sigh – you know I’ve been working on this since May – I had no idea it would take such a terribly long time – but it looks like there is finally light at the end of the tunnel! I’ll let you know as soon as I’ve got them! We’ll have a choice of 24 different fairies to choose from! I’m very excited!
Well, signing off for now, Please stay in touch!
I look forward to hearing from all of you,
