New Kits and New Arrivals

Hi Everyone,

Thank you all for your overwhelming show of support.  You are all great!

New shop hours: Tuesday-Saturday noon-5pm.

As promised, I wanted to show you the kits that are now available. Kits are an easy way to get a new and fun project to start during this time of isolation.  If you find something you like, give us a call (651.340.8263) and we'll arrange pick up or delivery. We can either mail it to you or feel free to pick it up.

Our newest kit is 'Woodland Path' using the Gingeber 'Bramble' animals.  It measures 64" x 69" and cost $117.99.

Our largest quilt is 'Carpe Noctern'.  It measures 74" x 81" and has a whooping sticker price of $234.99.  It is paper pieced and made with Juicey Juice fabrics:

Shop Update

Hi Everyone,

We’ve been trying to decide how to be there for all of you during this stressful time. It is most important to us that all of you stay safe and healthy. We plan on being an available service to you throughout this time, but we too will be taking precautions. Here is our game plan moving forward:

We will be open our regular hours for those of you who still need supplies to get through the weeks ahead.

Our classes will be postponed until things calm down.

We will be in touch with those of you in our evening classes once things are safer and we reschedule. Block of the Month members will not be charged the $5.00 fee for April's session. You can pick up your materials after the 2nd Saturday in April. As the April date for Block of the Month approaches we will let you know whether we will be holding class.

Starting today, only a few sales associates will be there to help you. All of my staff works so hard to give you the attention you deserve but right now most of my staff is taking vacation. As they return from other cities and countries I am asking them to self quarantine for two to three weeks. Myself, Rose and Jane will be working this week. Starting next week it will only be Rose and myself (or just me).

Our store is a low risk environment. Realize that many quilters have a low risk of contracting this disease because we travel less and spend more hours than most by ourselves creating beautiful quilts, bags and clothing. That being said, many of us work outside the home For those people who do work, as many visitors told me last week, they will now be working from home. This will curb the risk factor substantially. Also, there are never too many people in the store at one time. We will be well under the recommended number of 50 people in a gathering.

We will keep the recommended distance from you throughout your shopping experience. We can give you personal assistance by gathering bolts for you and bringing them to any of the tables in the store for you to choose your color palette for your upcoming project. We will be happy to bring all of the bolts to the cutting table for you and proceed from there. Or, if you wish, as always, you can shop independently.

If you wish, you may personally bag your items.

Of course, we will be disinfecting all doorknobs, faucets and countertops throughout the day with cleaners containing bleach. My mother taught me that bleach is the best disinfectant. And she would know, she worked as a chef for most of her career.

We will also be taking many orders over the phone.

We highly recommend this option for those of you who have been traveling or feel you may have been exposed. We want all of you to understand that we will be doing our best to keep you safe and we need your help by practicing precautions if you have been to areas where the virus is more prevelant or traveling through any airports.

Email me at [email protected] to place an order. Give me a recommended time during business hours to call you for processing your order.

Please use our website and emails to select any products you would like to purchase and call us. We can take your order over the phone and we can send you items via priority mail. Keep in mind that our website is unable to process purchases at this time. We are working quickly to get it up and operational. To see the new fabrics over the last few weeks select our ‘blog’ button at the top of our website. New products are featured in our emails.
If you are not on our email list, you may sign up using the above email address.

Our email this Wednesday will feature all of our kits.

For those of you who haven’t had time to shop and choose a new project these kits will spark your creativity. This will make an easy phone order and priority mail shipment.

Two final points:

For those of you know that live alone this will be an incredibly difficult time. Believe me. I get it. I live alone as well. Make sure to stay connected. This period of isolation will cause spikes in depression and anxiety. Especially for those of us who have no immediate family living with us. Feel free to call me, or stop by in the coming weeks. I will need you as much as you need me.

And, although I hate to say it, I will need all of your help. Twin Cities Quilting is my livelihood. Besides having anxiety about being alone for such an extended period of time, I will need to pay my rent, mortgage, personal taxes and sales taxes in the coming weeks. Small businesses will be hit very hard and are always short of cash flow and I am no exception. I wish to be here for you for years to come. I humbly ask you to help me through this time with phone orders or stopping in. As long as I remain healthy I will remain available for you.

My goal is to stay healthy. I will only be traveling from home and to the store in the coming weeks. Trust me. I will not be ‘out and about’ in any way except to resupply grocery items. You are all in my thoughts and I am wishing all of you the best of health and happiness.

New Arrivals

Hi Everyone,

Thanks to everyone for the kind comments on the Rob Appell video.

We are still in the process of changing over our website so for the time being no orders can be placed via the internet.  Feel free to call us or stop by 651.340.8263.

We have two new collections from Robert Kaufman.  This is 'Jetty' by Carolyn Friedlander.  I think this is one of her best to date.  I love it!  The last three pictures show width of fabric.  Click here to see it on the website.

'Library of Rarities' by Aimee Stewart will appeal to book lovers.  The book cover fabric has been going quickly.  I have about one yard left:

There are two collections of blenders from Michael Miller.  See them on the website by clicking here.  This is 'Speckles'.

'Rag Rug':

Don't forget the Shop Hop!

See you soon,

Faye

New Arrivals

Hi Everyone,

How Fun!  We had a visit from Rob Appell from Michael Miller Fabrics. Click here to see the video he made while he was touring the shop.

We also now carry Sue Spargo's felted merino wool.  I've been thinking about doing this for a while and decided to take the plunge.  It is comparably priced to our hand dyed selection but the sixty colors are solids.  They make for a more modern look and show off your embroidery stitches a bit more. We are selling them in fat quarters and fat eighths.

Our website is still not processing payments.  You will have to call the store if you can't make it in- 651.340.8263.  We've been converting the website to a new program and payment option so it may take a little time.  If you are unable to get on the website it may be because we are in the process of switching.  We will have everything working soon.  

Our new arrivals this week are animals.  This is 'Farm Charm' by Gingiber from Moda.  Click here to see it on the website.

'State Fair' is from Windham.  See it on the website here.

From Art Gallery, we have 'Oh Meow' by Jessica Swift.  Click here to see it on the website.

From 'Forest Fellows' by Robert Kaufman we got in one of their most popular prints.  See it on the website here.

We have two collections from Hoffman.  This panel is from 'Zoo Keeper'.  There are only 4 of these panels left.  Click here to see both collections on the website.

'Fly Home' is a beautiful collection from Hoffman.  Very 'outdoorsy' and the ombre sky and/or water prints are exceptional.   

Make your plans for the Twin Cities Shop Hop.

See you soon,

Faye

 

New Kits and New Arrivals

Hi Everyone,

We have two new kits using the 'Hello World' collection featured below. We've been working hard to give you some great, easy projects with this collection.  This is 'Animal Lover'.  It measures 50" x 66".  I don't think you can get much more precious for a new baby.

 We also made a quilt or wallhanging using the panel. This panel quilt measures 30" x 44".

 

We have two new collections from Blend Fabrics.  Here is the 'Hello World' we used for the two quilts above.  The first pictures are the panels. We have limited quantities of these prints since they are in the kits.  Click here to see both collections  on the website.

     

'Seeds' is their great collection of blenders:

It's Shop Hop time!

See you soon,

From Windham we have 'Pencil Club' by Heather Givans.  Love this collection!  The colors are stunning!  Click here to see it on the website.

New Kits and New Arrivals

Hi Everyone,

Our website is still under construction.  You may view things on the website but our cart does not work.  You can call us to order any fabric or kit.  We will process your order with a credit card over the phone.  651-340-8263

We have three new kits to show you:  

We have used the cute cats and dogs from Blend fabrics to create  'Family Photo'.  It measures 45" x 55".  If you'd like it larger we can add fabrics.  Adding a row and column of flowers and photos would make a throw approximately 54" x 66".  I say this because I know some of you will want this quilt for yourself.

"Happy Together" is new from 'Sew Kinda Wonderful'. It uses their new wonder curve ruler. It measures 70" x 73".  It looks great in the store so stop by to see it.

Our 'Cool Cars' wall hanging is 26" x 57" and shows all of the different styles.  The pattern is to make a 62" x 67" quilt.  It is really cute in brights for a little boy but we wanted to show you a version for men who love their cars.

New Arrivals:

'Chrysalis' by Steven Wilson is from Free Spirit.  The images to make the colorful patterns in the fabric are butterflies.  It is a lush, digitally printed, beautiful fabric.  Click here to see it on the website.

'Bloom, Bloom Butterfly' is from RJR Fabrics.  Many of the fabrics walking through the door right now are florals.  They are huge favorites with designers right now.This collection has been very popular.  Right now we still have all the bolts, but it is going quick.  Click here to see it on the website.

'Night Riviera' is from Marcus Fabrics.  For those of you who like purples and greens, this collection will suit you.  See it on the website by clicking here.

 

Block of the Month starts this Saturday.  If you've been thinking about taking it, now is the time to do it.

See you soon,

Faye
