Contempo Shoptalk

Dear Shop Owners,
How cool is this? A modern group all about sewing from Amanda Murphy - just take a look at the
BOM - sew much fun! Then, a new black and white group from Sara Vedeler - so graphic! And then,
a trendy Nirvana group with turquoise and lime and a Chalk Board group with prints that look like
graphite. (Just think of the fun you’ll have creating message quilts!)
You can always count on Contempo for the modern touch in fabrics. Sew cool, sew Contempo.
Best,
Susan Neill

Vedeler’s fabrics, the design possibilities are endless! Mix and match to

Cool trend, cool fabrics - all based on chalkboard effects and colors. What
does it all mean? Subtle grays, whites, and blacks that can be used as
textures in your other projects, or alone as actual “chalkboards.” (Create a
wallhanging with these skus, then add a message in white lettering to look
like a blackboard. Just think of the fun messages you could create!) Also a
great background to appliqué on!

Turquoise and lime green: what a cool combination! Mix it with large
mod-style flowers and exuberant paisleys. Add circles and giant medallions,
and you have a trend-setting collection that is perfect for both quilting and
modern home decorating projects. We loved the touches of deep navy and
white for contrast - it makes the collection sparkle! No wonder they called it
Nirvana!
