European Organic Cotton Fabrics from Westfalenstoffe

New fabric has arrived! Westfalenstoffe from Germany has a long history of producing eco-friendly fabrics. These are from their organic line and in addition to being made from organically grown cotton, the fabrics are made with: chlorine-free bleach, reactive dye, reactive print and vat dyening, no azoic dye, no formaldehyde, no optical brightener, with pH-value that is sympathetic to the skin, Öko-Tex Standard 100 certified, heavy metal free, no residual shrinkage, fastness to abrasion, fastness to perspiration, wash fastness, fastness to water.

I picked some classics to round out the shop a little, pink was certainly missing! Don't forget, the free shipping special lasts through Monday 11/30/09 (free shipping on domestic orders $50 or more and international $75 or more).

Things To Come

A little update as to when I'll be receiving more fabric in the shop! I have some beautiful fabric coming from Europe, although it is being held up in customs at the moment, I hope to have it here and listed sometime next week.

There are 4 fantastic new lines of organic quilting cotton being released after the first of the year. I plan to carry all of them! Perfect timing for those projects waiting until after the holidays. Here's what's coming (all are organic cotton, quilting weight), so as to help you plan your 2010 projects:

 

Geo Grand by Daisy Janie Organic Fabrics, expected in February/March 2010

 

Circa 50 by Monaluna for Birch Fabrics, expected in March 2010

 

Beyond The Sea by Michelle Engel Bencsko for Cloud9 Fabrics, expected in March 2010

 

Monaco By Monaluna Organic Fabrics, expected in May 2010

Sometimes I Feel Like Baking Cookies

It's usually a whim for me, I don't always plan to bake cookies. That's why I love easy recipes that use what I already have stocked in the pantry. I think I found the perfect cookie recipe. Called "Best Snickerdoodles", I found it here: Blonde Designs Blog: Best Snickerdoodles Easy, fast, simple ingredients. YUM!

Oh, and I always enlist a little help.
