Hello Quilty Friends!
Happy Thursday to you!
Happy Memorial Day Week end to you too! What are your plans for this unofficial kick off to summer? For me, I am hustling to put together a garage sale for Friday and Saturday as this is THE BEST weekend all year to have a sale where I live. Fingers crossed that I’m not pulling an all-nighter Thursday to have everything ready for Friday. Wish me luck!
I am SEW EXCITED to share some AWESOME NEWS about Villa Rosa so I’m going to jump right in.
Exciting VRD NEWS!
Our Rose Queen and VRD owner, Pat Fryer, has a brand new fabric collection coming out with Riley Blake Designs! It’s called Bedazzled! and I can’t wait to share it with you! It will be available at your local quilt shops and at our online shop, villarosadesigns.com, in December! So mark your calendars now AND ask for it at your local shops.
Bedazzled! is a batik collection and is part of the Riley Blake Expressions line. It has 26 fabrics in rich saturated eye-popping colors! It’s fun and whimsical too!
Here is the entire collection:
Here are some larger images of each different pattern so you can see just how yummy the fabrics are:
Of course, Bedazzled! will be available in precuts — 5″ squares, 10″ squares, 2.5″ strips, and fat quarter bundles, so the collection will shine in lots and lots of VRD Rose Card patterns!
Speaking of VRD Rose Cards, here are the patterns Riley Blake Designs has selected to showcase with the collection.
And if that’s not enough — Riley Blake Designs has created a SUPER SPECIAL Rose Card Pattern Storage Tin! Finally!!! We’ve talked about storage ideas for your Rose Card collections many times in the past here on the blog and I know the topic comes up frequently on the Facebook group.
Thank you Riley Blake Designs for creating a solution for storing our Rose Card collections!
I am really excited about this tin and can’t wait to order several. I imagine we’ll carry them at villarosadesigns.com, but make sure you request these tins at your local quilt shop! I think they’ll go fast, so make sure you get yours in December.
Are you getting EXCITED yet???? Remember, Bedazzled! will be in stores in December, just in time for Christmas! I know what I’ll have on my Christmas list this year. Just sayin’ . . . .
One More VRD Update For You
Do you watch (and shop) Pat’s Fry-Day VRD Live Shows on Facebook? Or maybe you didn’t even know we had a weekly Live Show and Sale.
Here’s the info:
FRY-DAY HAPPY HOUR
Join us every Friday at 4pm PST on our Facebook Page for our Fry-Day Happy Hour.
Watch as we show new fabric and last-chance items – and comment to buy directly from the video.
I just wanted to let you know the show will now be available on the website due to some changes with the platform. We’re trying a few different things out right now in order to pick the new format that will be easiest for you, the shoppers and fans, so please be patient with us.
For now, you will be able to find the Fry-Day VRD Live Shows under the Live Shows tab at the top of the website. Please reach out if you have any questions.
Well, I guess that’s it for me this week. I’m off to work on getting my garage sale ready. If you find yourself in Crawford County, Pennsylvania, stop on over — I’d love to meet you in person.
Take care and be safe this Memorial Day Weekend. Don’t forget to kick back and relax, too.
Until next time —
Sew. Laugh. Repeat.
Always,
Tricia @VRD
