Hello Everyone!
We have just added Marbled Fabrics created and hand marbled by Marjorie Lee Bevis. Each pack contains 10 pieces of marbled cotton, each approximately 9" X 10". This is a very time consuming process. I took one short workshop in marbled and to develop the designs that Marjorie has, you have to be very skilled in this process. She is amazing
Beautiful, unique fabrics for your quilts, and art or craft projects, colleges, mixed media, etc. Here are the fabric packs we now have on the website:

Rainbow Stones

Special Variety Pack

Light Assortment Pack

Also, please see the latest Quilting Arts Magazine for Valerie Goodwin's article: Collaged Art Maps from Fabric, Paint and Thread.

Fabulous furniture by Jessica Guerra using our fabrics!

Embroidery was done on this fabric to embellish the design...how interesting this makes the piece!

Our customer, Jessica Guerra of Monterrey Mexico, which is about two hours from the U.S. is starting a company making furniture. She sent us some wonderful examples of what she has done with our fabrics on furniture (see below). Jessica stated that she works for an import/export company therefore, shipping to the U.S. would not be a problem. She is a valued customer to CC and we wish her all the very best. We will keep you informed re: the progress of her company. Each chair is unique, there is no duplication so you would have a one-of-a-kind piece of furniture.

You can contact Jessica at: jessicapalomo75@hotmail.com

Thank you, Jessica for sharing your images with us. We can't wait to see how your company progresses.

Hello,
I hope that all of you are doing well. We have a snowy day here and are supposed to get a giant snow storm on monday...we will see what happens! Personally, I love the snow. Didn't see much of it growing up outside of Philadelphia and in New Jersey, but in Northeast Ohio...WOW!!!
Anyway, I wanted to share my excitement about my "very near future" room to create in, my personal markmaking room. I am ecstatic about it!!! It was a sunroom but needed new windows and we are adding, heat, phone lines and cable. I have been wanting this for many years, my own space to work on fabric and paper. Here are some images.

On this wall, we can see out to the backyard where we have a ton of bird feeders. There is a huge slider door. Essentially, 3 of the walls of the room are windows, which makes it feel very open.




This is the huge slider door next to the window in the previous image.

This is the opposite wall.


Well, I usually don't post about my personal life, but I really wanted to share this. Please excuse my self-indulgence!

By the way, if you live in northeast Ohio and are looking for an exceptional contractor, call or email Don Kollmorgan @ 440-785-4737 or email him at dkoll347@yahoo.com He does just about everything and is hardworking and meticulous.
Have a very special day,
Sondra
