We have added an expanded projects page as an adjunct to our website, to better serve quilt shop owners and quilters alike. We've had lots of calls lately for alternate pattern covers. It's just not possible for our distributors to stock all of the pattern fronts necessary to show the variations we create for our pattern line with our different fabric collections. This is our effort to make all of the quilt tops that we offer in our sales support booklets available.
For the Independent Quilt Shop Owner, you will have now have the ability to customize your pattern fronts for kitting or display purposes in your store. The pattern fronts are to help promote LakeHouse fabric information and pattern sales, but not to replace the actual pattern, since 90% of the information to make a LakeHouse project is still offered inside the pattern packet.
For the LakeHouse Quilt enthusiast, you can download the pattern front for your personal use only. You can mark it up for an additional block count diagram while making a project from a pattern you have already purchased, or bring your click & print pattern front into your local quilt store to help you find what you need to make a project.
We've just added our first two New Project pages that are projects made from our...Doll Dresses fabrics that started arriving in the stores in Fall 2008, and our...Teatime Floral fabrics which will be arriving in stores in January 2009.
New and "Revisited" Patterns made with these two collections of fabrics are going out to our distributors this week, and on to your local quilt shops after that...
Just click on any of the quilt icons on the side bars on this New Project page, and you will have access to a downloadable click & print of each of our new pattern fronts. Please read and respect our copyright notice, and the limits for the intended uses of our project pattern fronts.
We hope that you'll use these New Project Pages to their fullest, and that you'll write us with your comments.
We will add free offers, new information, pattern fronts & pattern updates as they become available.
Here's to a "Piece-Filled" New Year for all of you,
From all of us at LakeHouse Dry Goods!
WOW!! You have made it incredibly easy to see different views of your fabric lines.....and made us want all of them. I wish I had a quilt shop.........my quilt room looks kind of LIKE one! Thanks for all of the beautiful fabric. Please keep designing. Laurie

I own a quilt shop. I like to stock Lakehouse Fabrics, but it's always difficult for me to navigate your website. I never see the fabrics I'm looking for, you don't make it easy to search for current and older fabrics. It almost seems like your website is trying to be cool and slick, and not helpful to those of us trying to purchase your fabrics. I'm going to stick with other fabric manufacturers.

how do I purchase fabric from you?

Holly,
You offered the Step Lively pattern for Free in the Tea Time florals. I saw a picture of Step Lively in Cherry Baby. Do you have a pattern for that color way.
My shop has a large inventory of your fabric. We are always looking for ways to sell more. Love it!!

How do I get to view your fabrics online. I am especially interested in yellow,hot pink and orange dot! Thanks

Where are the cutting instructions? All I can find are the fabric requirements. thanks
Posted by: arden | January 26, 2009 at 06:08 PM
Yes, please include the cutting instructions. Your fabrics are beautiful and I am ready to purchase them but more info is needed with the FREE patterns......very frustrating!

You're site really needs improvement. We found it very hard to find a special collection without looking searching the fabrics until we found one we could reconize.

I am tired of phoning around to local quilt shops to see if any carry particular lines, and, as I work the night shift and sleep during the day, I don't have much time for sewing, let alone hunting for fabric. Please - is there an easier way to locate your beautiful fabrics? I live in Minneapolis, MN. Thank you!

I want to know about the rooster quilt in the background of the Bearly There photo. Is the pattern available?

Hi Holly!
We love your fabrics...but we too are finding it difficult to obtain more of certain prints, especially with the Hydrangea collections and Cherry Baby. Someone at our local supplier (E.E. Schenk) told us that some of the fabrics in these collections are already being discontinued. I also have found it difficult to find a way to contact you...other than commenting on a blog. It would also be helpful if your collections had names...like Moda. We have a website and when loading Lakehouse...we never know what to call the collection!

I love the whole hydrangea line of fabrics and where I can buy through you?

I want to purchase LH05016 "Dot Z" in lime green with purple/violet/green/yellow/aqua dots. I can't find it in the shops or at your web site. Has it been discontinued? I live in Billings, MT and found a 1/2 yard piece at the Great American Quilt Shop in Denver. HELP!!
