Taupe Lovers Rejoice |
|
After a noticeable absence, a lovely series of 45 neutral yarn dyed fabrics is newly available. Although not
from the offical Taupe designers, these high quality Japanese fabrics are sure to please your neutral plaid palette and your pocket book
too, as this collection is a wee bit cheaper than the original, selling for $20 per metre.

Stunning New Batiks from Ghana |
|
A long awaited shipment of 50 new batiks is finally here! Some of my personal
favourites are pictured below. These rich fabrics are part of an evolving collection of hand wood blocked and hand dyed prints,
produced especially for Kallisti Quilts by a women's cooperative in rural Ghana. These authentic batiks are the creative community
effort of women pursuing self-sufficiency and education for their children. Although the cost of supplies and transport have increased
since the previous shipment, Kallisti Quilts remains committed to the original retail price of $12 per metre. All prints are limited to
12 yards each, and cannot be reordered.

mustard and black. Taupe, gray, brown and barn red are not currently available. All fabrics are 100% cotton,

From Ouka of Japan, these unique striped 100% you-won't-believe-it's-cotton jacquard prints are silky soft, slightly stretchy and drape beautifully.

About Kallisti Quilts |
|
Established in November 2000, Kallisti Quilts is passionate about providing a diverse collection of
imported fabrics for the discerning and innovative quiltmakers of Ontario and beyond. I specialize in Japanese
and African cotton fabrics, including fairly traded handmade batiks, but I continually endeavour to find new suppliers and
refresh your quilting vision. For a tactile experience, you may visit Kallisti Quilts at the shows listed on the
Events page. I attend over a dozen shows each year, host two Open Houses and squeeze in as many trunk shows
as my schedule allows.
