Twin Cities Quilting

NEW ARRIVALS

Hi everyone!

We enjoyed seeing some of you at the Minnesota Quilters Show and Conference.  We had a great time!  Also, our special exhibit of the solid challenge quilts looked great.  Here's  some pics of the booth for those of you who couldn't make it to St. Cloud.

From Camelot Fabrics we have "Fruit Stand."  I love the blenders in this collection!  It's been selling like hot cakes out of the pre-cut bins.  This fabric is great for the kitchen or place-mats and napkins on the deck.

I'm in love with the new fabrics from Dear Stella.  "Woodwinked"combines the best owl ever with this season's most popular creature- the deer.  The deers run through the forest or appear as a vignette within a heart.  I'm not a "heart" girl, but I love the way they took this extra step.  Mushrooms, heart shaped owl feathers and forest vegetation are also great blenders or secondary prints.

New from Free Spirit we have some fun paisleys and dots by Dena Designs.  For little girl dresses and girly quilts these will fit right in.

 

We also have some new batiks from Timeless Treasures.

 

We hope you can make it into the store soon.  It's a little lonely right now since we've had a couple of big events.  Come show us your projects or bring friends and sew!

Reminder!

Quilt Market News: P&B

At market, the P&B fabric lines impressed me the most.  Many of them I ordered the complete line.

"Always Blooming" is bright, cheerful and looks like great fun.  With a panel piece and great squares many quilting options are possible:

 

The colors are so great in this collection!  Unfortunately, the camera had a hard time capturing them.

Another line I really liked by P&B will be arriving near the end of the summer.  Here are four prints from the line and the color from the "Always Blooming" print on the table is better than any of the other shots I captured:

Quilt Market

What a busy few days it has been in Portland, Oregon!  Market was fun, hectic and informative.  I've ordered some great new fabric for this summer!  But first, here are some of the quilts I saw:

NEWS

I'm on my way to Portland for Quilt Market tomorrow.  For those of you who don't know, Portland is my home town.  I can't wait to get back and experience it's unique greenery, and of course, I'll be taking a day to go to the beach and spend time with family.  

I'll be blogging about my quilt market experience.  So more emails will be on the way in next the few weeks.

In the mean time,  at the store we now have the exhibit of challenge quilts.  They look fantastic!  Here are a few pictures to entice you to stop by the store and view these wonderful quilts:

Join us for our celebration on June 6, 2013 between 4pm and 8pm.

If you purchased our Shop Hop Table Runner during the hop or after, I found out that I had made a couple of sizing mistakes (too big). Ouch!  Here is a download for the correct sizes:
