NEW KIT, NEW ARRIVALS

Hi Everyone!

Here is our runner for the Twin Cities Shop Hop completion pattern.  If you go to all the shops on the tour and have your passport stamped you'll get the pattern to make this "May Day" runner.  We made a kit containing Sarah Watts great bee print for Cotton and Steel.  We have the runner up in the shop if you'd like to stop by for a look.  We are also kitting another runner in a variation to this pattern.  We'll be using the Succulents collection by Heather Givens for Windham Fabrics. I love this collection!!!  Stay tuned for that!

 

We have a new kit!  We used Hoffman Fabric's digital collection for a new "Lotta Blvd." It is gorgeous.  These kits retail for $34.99.

 

We have a lot of awesome new fabric.  We have new fish from Moda, which would make great borders or add interest to any kid's quilt or outdoor quilty things.

 

New from Windham we have the collection "Heavy Metal".  These fabrics are simple but have a little twist.  In each of them there is a silver, copper or gold metallic pattern.  The colors are deep, rich solids.  Perfect for any modern quilt.

 

Thanks for looking!

Hi Everyone!

We have many new arrivals from Alexander Henry this week, beginning with new prints from "Monkey Bizness".  

 

 

 

We also have some of the "Prairie House" collection.  

 

 

 

I just couldn't resist this cactus print.  It's just happy!

 

I

 

 

Only AH could make a fabric like this, so I took the risk!

 

 

We have a new collection from Moda called "Passport" designed by 3 Sisters.  The maps and the architecture prints are of Paris.  With these fabrics, it's easy to get swept away by the romance of this city.

 

Lastly we have some fabric from Art gallery.  This collection is called "Hello Bear".

 

 

Twin Cities Quilting is happy to announce we have another TCQ original throw quilt kit.  This quilt is called "Octavia" and was inspired by  Moda's "Modern Neutrals".  The finished size is 54" x 72" and costs $88.99.  Hurry and get yours before we run out!

Thanks for taking a look.  Hope to see you soon!

NEW KITS

Hi Everyone!

Just in time for the upcoming holiday season we have a grinch quilt and two holiday table runners. The "Green and Mean" quilt is the perfect size (49"x65") for all the Whovians out there.  The first table runner, Season's Bright is 20"x48" and $45.99.  Simply Holiday is 15"x58" and only $34.99. 

 

 

Big Dots = Big Stripe is a TCQ original.  .This quilt incorporates the Cotton and Steel collections, including the "Big Dot panel".  We have kits with or without the orange. The size is 58 1/4"x81", costing $91.99.

 

The "Zenith" quilt shows a beautiful range of batiks.  It is 60"x76" and costs $76.99.  The large size and colors make this a great "man" throw.

 

Lastly, the "Jackson Hole" quilt: 60"x76" throw.  Wonderful for keeping warm in this coming winter.  Not only does this quilt use Emily Herrick's "Rustique" collection, she is also the maker of the pattern.   Right now this color scheme is becoming more and more popular.

 

Everyone at the store loves having many new quilts on the wall.  If you didn't get to our party last week come in and check us out!

NEW ARRIVALS. NEW KITS

Hi Everyone!

Hurray!  We finally finished the whole year!  We still have a few kits left but hurry in if you want to this series.

 

BUG ME is our newest kit.  These bug fabrics have been sitting around the store for awhile.  And although the quilt is simple, the bugs make a great statement.  It's the perfect size for a child throw.

 

 

We've now got the Avant-Garden by MoMo in stock! It comes in 100% cotton quilting weight and a heavier cotton/linen blend.

 

COTTON AND STEEL are now in the shop!  Many of you've been anticipating this shipment. I only bought a smattering of bolts to see how they do.

NEW ARRIVALS. NEW KITS

Hi Everyone

We have a few new kits in the shop.  We'll share three now and others in upcoming emails.  The first kit uses the "Indelible" collection from Art Gallery.  It's perfect for those of you who like neutrals.

 

 

Our Stepping Stones pattern makes this deer print stand out.  Hearts for the girls and deer for the boys!

 

We've modernized our veggie prints in this table runner:

 

Fun for kids or, the kid in all of us, are foxes and other cuties.  "Timerland Critters" is new from AdornIt.

 

Tula Pink has designed Moon Shine for Free Spirit.  LOVE THESE DEER!

 

Now you can see why we needed those deer we rescued!  Come take a look at our new displays.  They are one of my favorite things in a long time!

Finally!  The main floral from the Ghastlies collection is now in the store.  And I couldn't pass up another "Sebastian" cat print.   If you've already purchased from this collection you'll have to stop by and see the new additions.

 

As fall is just around the corner, Halloween's "Witchful Thinking" from Clothworks is now in stock.  Hurry up!  The panel is almost gone!

NEW KIT, NEW QUILTS

Hi everyone!

Just to let you know, there are a few seats left on the bus for the Minnesota Shop Hop.  They run from the Walmarts in Bloomington, Coon Rapids and Vadnais Heights.  The bus trips happen the first and second Saturday of the hop.  For the whole day you only have to pay $29.95!

We have a new kit called "Magnolia."  It's sized at "77 x 27" and great for a table runner, bed runner or hanging behind the couch.  Call us if you'd like us to set one aside for you. They're going quickly!

 

Our first new arrival is the Ghastlies from Alexander Henry.  The Ghastlies are meeting their "deadly demise."  That is, we won't see any new fabrics of this haunting family in the future.  So get them while you can!

 

We also received a large order of batiks from Hoffman fabrics.  First up is their winter/holiday motifs:

 

Next, we have great bolts for fall quilts.  Don't you love the new texture!

 

 

Other new fabrics have also arrived.  Expect pics of those soon!  We also have a number of Christmas fabrics we need to show you!

New Quilt Beginnings

I've been hard at work trying to get three new quilts and kits done for the shop hops and MQ Show.  I finally feel like one of them is really coming along.  When we got in Stephanie Brandenburg's new fabrics my wheels started turning.  Here is the beginnings of a new throw using her row houses print:

We just got in twenty bolts of Moda's new grunge.  I am so excited.  The colors are bright and vivid.  Once I get to the shop tomorrow I'm going to pick up one of the pinks and make another row of blocks.  Right now I'm planning two rows of the purple and green.  Two rows of the black and hand drawn gates.  And, three rows of houses.  I have another gate print on the left of my wall that I want to utilize as well.
