Twin Cities Quilting

NEW ARRIVALS

Hi Everyone!

We have a lot of new arrivals this week, starting with Michael Miller.  This collection is called "Hashmark" and if you look close enough, you can see the hashes in the print itself.  

 

 

The next collection from Michael Miller is great for an animal themed quilt.  "Mini Zebras" contains great prints and colors.

 

 

Next, we have an entire collection of batiks from Robert Kaufman.  I loved the collection "Bakari" and I couldn't decide which of the batiks to get so I just got them all.  There is a great variety of patterns and colors.

 

 

Lastly, we have Bosal's In-R-Form Plus foam stabilizer. Many of you have been asking about this new thin foam stabilizer for bags.  It's fusible on both sides!

 

Thanks for taking a look

CLASSES AND CHALLENGE

Hi Everyone!

We have upcoming classes that have yet to be filled!  If you're interested please click on the class title below for more information on the class and how to sign up.

 

First we have Fun with Fabric Baskets with instructor Rose Allen.  In this class you make one basket during the class and the other baskets on your own.  These baskets make great gifts for others or for yourself.  This class is held on Tuesday March, 3rd from 6:30pm - 9:00 pm.

 

 

Quilt As You Go is a great class to take to learn four methods of quilting in sections.  It's a good way to learn new quilting techniques and also how to plan future quilts.  It is on Saturday, March 7, from 10:00am - 4:00pm.

 

 

We're adding a guided sew-in one Friday a month for the new Patchwork City book.  We are so excited about making quilts with these blocks!  Come in to look at the book if you haven't seen it yet.  It is fabulous!  Mary and myself are tackling quilts using the blocks in this book.  We'll have approximately five blocks completed for each sew-in and share our experience with you.  This led sew-in will be once a month on the third Friday through November (we skip August).  The price is $40.00 if you buy the book from us.  Or $45.00 for those of you who have bought the book elsewhere.  If you take this class you'll end up with a beautiful geometric quilt.  Join us from 11:00 am - 3:00pm on Friday, April 17.

 

Lastly, we are repeating Just the Walking Foot!  This class was a huge hit and I can't wait to teach it again.  Learn to make your quilts awesome with your walking foot!  This class will add a modern edge to any quilt.  Saturday, April 18th from 10:00am - 4:00pm.

 

If you like any of these classes feel free to come into the store to sign up, go on our website, or call us at 651-340-8263!

 

We also want to remind you that there is still time to sign up for the Modern Quilt Challenge this year.  This is a great chance to do something you might not normally do!  You can  come into the shop to sign up and learn more, or you can click here to see the details of this challenge.  We want this exhibit to have a big impact!!  So join us and make your version of a modern quilt.

Hi Everyone!

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 ARRIVALS

Hi Everyone!

We received the second offering from Cotton & Steel this week!  And it is fabulous!  I only bought from two designers this time - Melody Miller and Sarah Watts.  We'll start with the canvas weight prints.  These prints are 50% linen and 50% cotton:

 

 

Here are the 100% quilting cotton fabrics from each designer.  The first is  Sarah Watt's "Tokyo Train Ride".  I really like the style of the print on these fabrics.

 

The second collection is from Melody Miller, and is called "Playful".  These prints really live up to their name!  Now can you guess which canvas goes with which designer!

 

Our next digital offering came in a few days ago.  These prints are from Red Rooster and are part of the "Root & Fly" collection from Flora Bowley.  I absolutely love the subject and style of these prints.  

 

We have some more canvas blends for you guys to take a look at.  We have "Studio M" from Moda. 

 

 

Catch you next time.
