Shop Talk {Westwood Acres}

Sounds like something out of a fairy tale, right? And they are a fairy tale fabric shop for sure. Amanda is one of my favorite store owners ever. I mean ever. She is incredibly personable and active both in her store and on instagram (@acraftyfox_amanda). Westwood Acres has customer service that is above and beyond. If you convo her, she gets back to you with remarkable speed and is always open to helping you get what you are looking for. The shipping is incredibly fast. My mom just ordered her gorgeous Chicopee tower and it arrived in two days. Two days!!

She also makes some fun custom bundles. Her Inside Voices bundle series is becoming very well known as a low volume bundle. I lurve low volume!

The most fanstastic thing that sets Amanda's store apart from others is that she cuts fat eighth bundles. Have you ever seen a collection go by and thought, geez, I want all of those prints?! But the fat quarter tower is too expensive and a charm pack or jelly roll isn't going to get you very far? Perfect solution? The fat eighth bundle. Westwood Acres is where I got my AMH Voile stack a few months back.


It was gorgeous, I had to have it, but I couldn't afford the whole fat quarter stack at the time. Perfecto! Fat eighth bundle to the rescue!

If you have never been to Westwood Acres, definitely pop over for a visit. And as a perk, Amanda is offering a $25 gift certificate! Sound like something you need? Just leave a comment here letting me know what you would use it for! I will pick a winner on Saturday. Happy sewing!

Shop Talk {Marmalade Fabrics}

Have you ever been over to Marmalade Fabrics? Tammy might be one of my favorite shop owners out there. The customer service is fabulous, selection is fantastic, and the shipping turn around time is awesome.

One of my favorite features of a fabric shop is being able to shop by color. If you know anything about me, its that I love monochromatic fabric. Marmalade Fabrics makes it very easy to shop by color, collection, designer, or whatever your fancy.

She also has super fun bundles! If you peruse the section, you'll see some of these beauties up for grabs.

  

Also, she has some fantastic monthly subscriptions. My personal favorite is Around the Color Wheel. Every month Around the Color Wheel bundles are available in a new color of the rainbow AND, this bundle is offered in both prints and solids. Talk about an amazing way to build your stash. You can subscribe to one or both in fat quarter packs or half yard packs. Let me tell you, they are worth it. Check out the picks for orange.


Tammy has graciously agreed to giveaway a $30 gift certificate to her shop! All you have to do is become a follower and leave a comment letting me know that you follow. If you follow already, just leave a comment saying that you do. I will choose a winner on Saturday!!

Again, if you haven't been over to Marmalade Fabrics before, go check them out right now!!
