Happy Birthday Purl Patchwork!

 promo2.jpg

This week we celebrate the first birthday of Purl Patchwork, our fabric shop that opened in Spring 2006! It's hard to believe that a whole year has come and go, but we have lots to show for it: a growing collection of diverse textiles including beautiful Japanese fabrics and exclusive Indian linen; hand-picked accessories and notions like our irresistible spectrum bundles; and wonderful new books to inspire and inform you. 

Best of all, we've made so many new friends this year:  quilters, crafters, embroiderers, and other creative people who love working with color, pattern, and textiles as much as we do.

Here's to Year 2!
