Celebrate Canada's 150th
Have you seen With Glowing Hearts? It's quite possibly the best looking Canadian fabric we've seen yet. It celebrates the big one for our country.. Canada's 150th birthday is next year!
Update: We just received another shipment and have full stock on all yardage! It's going very fast, so be sure to place your order today (this is the final shipment - after this, the collection will be discontinued). Click here to see what is left.
The Canadian Flag as we know it now was quite controversial when it was proposed. Here's a great video by the National showing the struggle it took!
Simply amazing. It makes us very proud, and a little bit misty in the eyes.
Trend-Tex Fabrics asked Grace Noel (a Canadian designer) to come up with a great new collection highlighting some special and iconic things we love about Canada.
The fabric is being manufactured by Moda Fabrics, so you know the quality is top notch. It's also a lot more modern and contemporary looking than most Canadian collections, which we absolutely love.
We are receiving the full collection in November, and are taking pre-orders so you can reserve the With Glowing Hearts yardage and precuts you want today.
