Coming soon · Reserve now

Claim it before the bolt is gone.

I only cut what I can hand-pick, so quantities are genuinely limited. Reserve anything from the new Collective and I will hold your cut, confirm the total, and let you know the moment it ships.

Reserving is simple — message me on Facebook or send a note through the contact page. No cart, no checkout, no rush.

Sew along with us

Two programs that keep the machine running.

Year-round projects with a real community behind them. Both are built for quilters sewing from home.

A quilt and a whodunnit, six times a year.

Each mystery pairs an exclusive pattern with a new chapter of Lara Langston’s story — a former FBI agent turned quilting cruise director. Every clue advances both the quilt and the case.

  • Three Mini-Mysteries and three five-week Mega-Mysteries each year
  • Patterns available only through participating retailers

Most of what leaves this shop is sold live. I unroll the new bolts on camera, talk through what plays well together, and answer colour questions as they come in. If you want first pick, this is where it happens.

Designers we carry

Four designers. One shared eye for color.

Sew Celebrate does not carry everything, and that is the point. The shop is built around the Kaffe Fassett Collective — the designers whose work rewards a quilter who chooses colour before pattern.

What sets the Collective apart is a purposeful mis-match of colour, pattern and scale — fabrics that look happened upon rather than coordinated.

Kaffe Fassett

Founder of the Collective

Came to textiles through painting and knitwear, and became the first living textile artist to have a one-man show at the V&A. Roman Glass was his first printed fabric and is still in the line.

Large-scale florals

Detailed botanical prints drawn from historic fabrics, scaled up until a single repeat can carry a whole quilt. Best bought as yardage.

Portrait of Brandon Mably

Brandon Mably

The rhythm section

Raised on the coast of South Wales. His flat, graphic repeats are what hold a busy palette together — the print you reach for when everything else is shouting.

Portrait of Martha Negley

Martha Negley

Newest voice

A celebrated surface designer long admired for painterly florals and fearless colour. Her creative history alongside Kaffe made her a natural addition to the Collective.

Fat quarters, half-yard bundles, continuous yardage, and complete quilt kits. Availability changes weekly — the current cut is always on Facebook.

Meet the shop

PJ Cartwright has been choosing color for quilters for decades.

PJ built Sew Celebrate around a single conviction: a quilt succeeds or fails on colour long before the first seam is sewn. That belief led her to the Kaffe Fassett Collective and to the designers who work in the same painterly tradition. Every bundle that leaves Fancy Gap is assembled by hand, with the contrast and the temperature already balanced.

“I would rather sell you six fabrics that sing together than sixty that simply sit on a shelf.”

Longtime customers will remember where it began. When PJ first opened her quilt shop, she was known for tuffets — she made them to order, finished them for quilters who preferred to sew their own, and taught the technique to anyone who asked. Tuffets are no longer part of the business, but the habit they instilled remains: a fussy eye for how a print behaves once it is cut, pieced, and pulled around a curve.
