Welcome to a brand-new month, and you know what that means—a whole fresh lineup of monthly specials picked just for you! Whether you're a quilter who lives for the perfect polka dot or a cross stitcher hunting for a one-of-a-kind background, this month's selection has plenty to get your creative juices flowing. But here's the thing: everything rolls over into a brand-new lineup at midnight CST on Monday, August 31st, so don't wait to scoop up your favorites. Trust me, you don't want to miss these savings before they're all sewn up. ### Eyelet by Fig Tree Quilts for Moda Fabrics Let's start with a fabric that's become a true staple in so many stashes: Eyelet by Fig Tree Quilts for Moda Fabrics. This timeless polka dot print is the kind of basic that really hits the spot. It spans warm shades like coral and cantaloupe, but also dips into cooler navy and sky blue tones, with soft ivory-based options rounding out the lineup for quieter backgrounds. The tidy, classic dot gives every yard a bit of old-fashioned charm without competing with your feature prints, so it's an easy match for florals, plaids, and everything in between. If you've been looking for a dotted basic that plays well with others, this is it. Explore the full Eyelet colorway lineup and see which shades speak to you. ### ByAnnie Notions for Every Bag Project Sew many bag projects come down to the right supporting cast, and ByAnnie notions are absolutely ready for the job. From their beloved stabilizers to zippers, webbing, and specialty hardware, these notions are built to give your projects the shape and staying power they need. What I love about this line is how approachable it is—these tools are practical enough for beginners just dipping their toes into bag-making, yet detailed enough to satisfy the most seasoned maker. Here's a quick rundown of what you can stock up on: - Stabilizers that give your bags structure without the stiffness - Durable zippers that glide smoothly every time - Webbing and straps that hold up to daily use - Specialty hardware like magnetic snaps and rivets for that professional finish Building a bag is all about the foundation, and ByAnnie has you covered from start to finish. ### Chelsi Stratton Designs Patterns If you're someone who believes home is always in style, Chelsi Stratton Designs patterns are going to feel like a warm hug. As both a Moda fabric designer and pattern maker, Chelsi builds her quilts around cozy, seasonal storytelling—think falling leaves circling log cabin blocks, or hearts worked into a classic layout, all sized to let your favorite fabrics shine. There's genuinely something here for quilters who love a traditional block but want a little extra sentiment stitched in. These patterns are perfect for those evenings when you just want to sew something that feels meaningful and comforting. ### Family Favorites by Sherri McConnel & Chelsi Stratton Full of lovely quilts and piecing projects, the Family Favorites quilt book is bound to become one of your favorites soon. This 89-page book of cozy quilty goodness brings together the mother-daughter duo's favorite traditional blocks across four sampler quilts—one for each block size—along with a few pillows and pincushions for quick, satisfying finishes. The instructions are approachable, and the quilts are honestly oh-sew cute. Whether you're looking for a weekend project or something to work through slowly, this book has you covered. Grab your copy for your family library and start stitching a new favorite. ### Digi Stitchery Cross Stitch Cloth Last but definitely not least, Digi Stitchery proves that a cross stitch background can be a design choice all its own. These fabrics use a colorfast digital printing process to lay down vibrant, one-of-a-kind patterns you won't find on a traditional hand-dyed cloth. Every piece is made to order with real care, so it's easy to see why stitchers keep adding new designs to their stash. If you're tired of the same old neutral backgrounds, this is your chance to print your next project with a little personality. ### Don't Miss Out on These Deals To explore all of these specials and more, head over to the site and click into the On Sale tab.
