Twin Cities Quilting

Kits and New Arrivals

Hi Everyone,

We have a few specials starting now:

 

While supplies last: 

Vintage Wool 50% off

Halloween fabric 25% off

 

Sale Fabrics now 50% off through the end of the year.

 

We have four new kits to show you.  You can either come into the store to see it in person or call us and we can ship it out to you.  651-340-8263

We just finished our 'Spectacular Savanna' quilt designed by Elizabeth Hartman.  I absolutely love it!  The kit uses Elizabeth’s fabrics plus many of the new Essex’s colors.  Her sample was so cute I did something I rarely do which is choose fabrics for our kits exactly like the designer’s sample.  Bridget, our sample maker, said that this quilt was really fun to make.  The quilt is sized as a small twin size (64” x 84”), just perfect for those getting their first “big kid” bed.  I also think this is a great quilt for kids of any age.

 

We also made and kitted Elizabeth’s baby quilt ‘Lana Lemur’.  We had to do it once we got in her Lemur fabric that we put on the back. The baby size measures 36’ x 45”.  It is perfect for those moms who want to keep their baby quilt skewed toward grey.

This is the backing fabric we used.  For reference, the lemurs are approximately 2" high.

 

Our last 'Four Square' quilt was so well liked we decided to make another once we received Gingiber’s new ‘Bramble' collection.  Unlike the ‘Merriment’ holiday animals, these creatures can be out all year long.  This time we decided to use the black and white version of the animals.  Who doesn’t like a black and white and red quilt?  We threw in the olivey green because it was just the perfect accent color.  This quilt measures 56” square and makes a great throw for any age.  It is also a quick quilt to make and is perfect for any upcoming holiday gift.

 

'A Gathering' was a pattern I just had to make.  I saw the original at market and loved it.  I made ours with fun modern prints.  We have a starter pack if you wish to make a similar version.  If you feel that making the large wall hanging (49" x 57") is daunting, just make one row as a table runner.  Even the second and third row can be divided into smaller versions.  

I also think this pattern would look stunning partially made in wool with Sue Spargo stitches in her pearl cottons.  Or, even as a more traditional wool appliqué with blanket stitching.  There are endless possibilities here.

 

 

New Arrivals:

 

The new Tula Pink collection is 'Monkey Wrench' from Free Spirit.  I didn't buy much since I have such a hard time selling her fabric.  I had to have a little monkeys and bananas though.  Click here to purchase it on the website.

 

 

'Cool Cats' is from Makower Fabrics.  The cats are very Japanese inspired.  Purchase it on the website by clicking here.  The first fabric is a panel.

 

Don't forget to come in and look at the sale fabrics.  More will be put on sale once we sell more and have more room.  See you soon,

New Arrivals

Hi Everyone,

We are having a big sale this July.  So much new stuff is walking in the door that I need to make room for it.  This sale is different than any I've had before.  Once again it is on our "red dot" bolts (excludes new arrivals and basics).  We are marking them down 30% for you.  Great for backs.  Great for piecing.  Great just because!  Join us July 3rd - July 15th.  Yes, that is two full weeks!  And, of course, we are closed on the 4th of July.

To celebrate the official start of summer, we have 'Sage' from Art Gallery.  See it here on the website.

Hi Everyone,

Just a reminder that we will be closed Christmas Eve, Saturday, December 24th.  Our free yard of sale fabric with a three yard purchase at regular price is going strong and ending on the 23rd.  After that, we will have our traditional New Year's Day Sale:

Here's a sneak peek at the 2017 Block of the Month.  I'm so pleased with the way it came out.  It was quite the challenge but I feel the results were worth it.  Right now I'm in the process of pricing the class and choosing alternative colorways.  I'm also quilting it this week!

Our new class list will be out before the new year - look for samples and brochures during the New Year's Day Sale.  We have some new classes as well as some old favorites.  Look for it in your mailbox soon.

Our new arrival this week is 'Poppie Mae' by Robin Pickens from Moda.

Hi Everyone,

At the end of the email is a reminder about our special offer.  We will be closed Christmas Eve this year so get those men in your life here before the last minute to pick up gift certificates.  What a gift!  Pick out exactly what you want.

Our shelves were bursting with so much fabric that I had to build more shelving.  One of our customers, Don, is a fantastic woodworker and offered to make them.  He did a great job.  They look wonderful.  Here is a before and after look at the new addition to the shop.  The shelves are still overcrowded.  But we'll make do for a while.

The Minnesota Shop Hop fabric is now in production.  I'm very pleased with the 2017 offering.  The panels are really great.  I love the fish and the birds. Click here to view them on the website.  Place your orders early to guarantee you get what your looking for.  They are now available for sale on the website as well.

Buy 3 yards of fabric at regular price.  

Choose from precuts or an assortment of cuts from many bolts.

Receive a free one yard cut of any sale fabric.  

You pick the bolt off our sale shelves while supplies last.

 

Stop in soon and treat yourself,

Lots of Info

Hi Everyone,

We're starting a special offer now through Friday, December 23rd.  Go to the bottom of this email for details.

I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving.  I am so thankful to have each and every one of you in my life.  Not only from a business perspective, but all of you make my day brighter when you come to visit the store.  I love how many of you know my name and share your quilting lives with me.  I have such a passion for quilting and believe it enriches all of our lives.  I started this business so women could have an outlet for their creative talents and be able to share those talents with family and a community of quilters.  This business and quilting is about so much more than the finished product.  I strongly believe that all of us improve our self confidence and add to our self worth by practicing the art of quilting.  The finished quilts are only a small portion of what makes our endeavors worthwhile.  You all enrich my life beyond belief.  I now wonder what I would do without you.

My niece, Coco, and I made infinity scarves.  It was her first time using my sewing machine by herself.  She did everything but cut the fabric.  She was excellent at pinning and sewing.  The iron scared her a little but she managed.  We used the double gauze fabric now available in the store- we both chose the cat fabrics.  I went to Blick's art supply store a couple of weeks ago and every single female sales associate stopped me to tell me how much they liked my scarf.  They were all in their late twenties and early thirties.  Keep these in mind when making small gifts for the holidays.

I have many double gauze bolts on order that have a more mature look.  Let's face it, we can't wear cats everywhere.   They should be arriving after the beginning of the year.  I can't believe what a beautiful selection I had to choose from.  I bought many bolts considering the last time I had them in stock you guys bought them up in less then a week.

 

We received many receiving blankets for Haiti during our drive.  Over 400!  You guys are great!  Thank you to all of the individuals and guilds that participated.  Kathy's daughter, Kelsey, took as many as she could pack with her a few weeks ago.  They were much appreciated by the entire medical and support staff team.  The staff will bring more and more as they make trips to help with the effort.  Here are some great pics:

  

 

Now through December 23rd

Buy 3 yards of fabric at regular price.  

Choose from precuts or an assortment of cuts from many bolts.

Receive a free one yard cut of any sale fabric.  

You pick the bolt off our sale shelves.  While supplies last.

 

I hope to see all of you before the end of the year.  Here's wishing all of you a wonderful holiday season!
