Twin Cities Quilting

New Arrivals, Bus and Class

Hi Everyone,

Don't forget to click here to sign up for the Quilt MN bus tour.  It'll be here before you know it.  As of now, there are only 15 seats left on the Friday, July 27th bus leaving from Roseville.  Also, the Mn Shop Hop fabrics are due to arrive this Friday.

 

There are still a few openings for the 'Summit' class.  Learn how to construct these great octagons with kites using the Creative Grid Spiderweb ruler.  The quilt measures 58" x70". The class meets Wednesday, June 6 from 6-8:30 pm.  Click here to sign up.

 

New Arrivals:

We have boxes and boxes of new fabric coming in the door, most of it from Robert Kaufman.  They have continued their line of Impressionist painters with 'Renoir'.  The first four pictures are  the panels.  

Also from Robert Kaufman, we have 'Chalk and Charcoal' by Jennifer Sampou.  We also got the 2 ½" strips Roll-Ups for this collection.  Purchase both collections here on the website. 

Stop in and see what's new.

Market and New Arrivals

Hi Everyone,

I'm back from market!  This spring market was in Portland, Oregon where I grew up.  It's especially nice to be able to spend time with family when I go.  I was able to take many quilts with me and give them to family members- see the photo below.

 I also spent time at the beach and took a day to do a mini shop hop around the stores in the Portland area.  Be thankful you live in Minnesota.  I was surprised by how few quilt stores there were in Portland.  The most active store was one we visited at the beach.

Market was fascinating as always.  Besides seeing the manufacturers I've purchased from for years, I also get to see my main importer of Japanese fabrics.  Not only did I buy new canvas weight fabrics from them but I also ordered from a brand new manufacturer.  The new manufacturer's fabrics should be here in a couple of weeks.  The imports will take a few months.  I found a few new products to buy but unfortunately I did not find a new distributor for cork fabrics.  I'm still on the look out but right now I have another order coming in of more traditional colors.  They should be here in a couple of weeks.  All-in-all it was a worthwhile experience and I picked up on a couple of new ideas I hope to share with you in the coming months.

I shared a few photos on Facebook and Instagram.  If you haven't signed up to get these feel free to sign up at any time.  All you have to do is search "twin cities quilting" either through Google or on other social media.

New Arrivals and New Kits

Hi Everyone,

We have two new kits to tell you about.  Although we no longer put kits for sale up on the website, please feel free to call us.  We can either set the kit aside for you or put it in the mail.  651-340-8263

The first is a second colorway of 'Twilight'.  It measures 50" x 60".  The first quilt was gorgeous with blues and oranges.  I can't believe that this one is even better, but it is.

We've been giving demos of the Creative Grid Spiderweb ruler since this quilt went up in the store.  'Summit' measures 58" x70".  We are having a class on how to construct these great octagons with kites.  The class meets Wednesday, June 6 from 6-8:30 pm.  Click here to sign up.  

New Arrivals:

'Jungle Fever' is the new kids fabric from Clothworks. The first picture is the panel. Purchase it here on the website. So cute!

These are the new 'Bedrock' blenders from Windham Fabrics.  The variation of value in each fabric makes them easy to use in any project.  Click here to purchase it on the website.

Don't forget, we are now signing people up for the Quilt Minnesota Metro Section buses.  Get a seat while they are still available.  Click here to sign up.

See you soon,
