VINCENT VAN GOGH
From Robert Kaufman Fabrics
Within the work of history’s major artists, that of Dutch Post-Impressionist painter Vincent van Gogh certainly stands among the most accessible and easily recognizable. And considering that many a quilter has taken inspiration in his use of form and color, this collaboration between Robert Kaufman and the Van Gogh Museum makes perfect sense.
In addition to two gorgeous panel prints featuring the images of Van Gogh’s Irises (1890) and A View of Arles with Irises, the collection also includes 30 blender fabrics with detailed brush strokes.

WHEN BAD THINGS HAPPEN TO GOOD QUILTERS: SURVIVAL GUIDE FOR FIXING & FINISHING ANY QUILTING PROJECT
By Joan Ford
Retail: $24.95
What quilter doesn’t have their fair share of UFOs hidden away in a closet? With this recent release, popular quilter/teacher Ford offers a practical (and, often, humorous) approach to conquering common quilting “emergencies” and tackling those unfinished projects.
The book also includes four new projects from Ford—whose ScrapTherapy® program helps “scrap-stashers” make quilts from their fabric stash—including a T-shirt quilt, quilted table runner with hexagonal piecing, a paneled quilt, and preprinted panel with mitered borders.
