Welcome to Ruby Street Quiltworks

Just In!

We have just received our shipment of the 2010 Christmas Bali Batiks from Hoffman and they are stunning. The colors glow with an elegant restrained vibrance. The designs are sophisticated and reflect both the quietude and playfulness of the season. Whether you choose to make a special jacket or blouse for the season, a table runner or tablecloth for your holiday entertaining, a special occasion apron for a special hostess or an heirloom quilt to grace your holiday home for years to come, these fabrics will work beautifully.

We know you will not be able to choose from among these beauties so we have put together a selection of "Bakers Dozen" fat quarter bundles. Take home thirteen fat quarters for the price of twelve.

The Sale Rack is Back!

You have been asking for it. Now it's back. On the sale rack you'll find splendid sales on our (always) top quality fabric. We still love these fabrics, but it's time for them to find a new home. We need room for the new stuff. We've started off with the remaining pieces from Keri Beyer's fun collection, "Urban Farm" (sweet country farmhouse wallpaper and florals juxtaposed with fun graphix style farm images) originally $9.25 per yard, on the sale rack at $5.95! The two remaining bolts of the stylish pink and black "Fashion News" were originally $9.25 per yard. They are on the sale rack at $5.95 per yard. Find our entire "Essence" collection (tropical colors and tradewind graphics with lots of movement) originally $8.50 per yard, on the sale rack at $4.95 per yard. Check often because we'll add new items and make additional mark downs on items that don't sell quickly. You'll find everything on sale but the bathtub ...

... and speaking of the bathtub, we also got in a fun new gang of novelties from Timeless Treasures. No, they're not on the website or on sale (yet). You'll just have to come on down to Ruby Street Quiltworks to see them! Fun, fun, fun
