Twin Cities Quilting

New Arrivals

Hi Everyone,

Don't forget the Schoolhouse Hop!  May 2nd - May 4th.  It's going to be a lot of fun.  We have some surprises in store.

'Pollinator' by Leslie Tucker Jenison is from RJR Fabrics.  We've had great success with many of her fabrics in the past.  This collection is just as beautiful.  Click here to purchase it on the website.

We have two new collections from Art Gallery.  We've put the collections together because they are similar.  It features Art Gallery's great solid colors with just a bit of printing.  I'm going to ask them to make a ton more colors when I go to market next month.  Do you think they'll listen to me?  This is 'DecoStitch', my favorite.  Purchase both collections by clicking here.

And 'Icon Elements':

 

Quilt Minnesota is gaining momentum.  The buses are filling and people are preordering the fabric.  We will have the fabric in about a month if you want to see it before you preorder.  Fabrics release when the hop begins.

See you soon,

Faye

New Arrivals

Hi Everyone,

Our newest arrivals are new shelving.  I have been wanting for this for so long!  Trying to find someone to make what I wanted was challenging but we finally got it done.  At least for a little while I won't have to spend extra time trying to fit in all of the new bolts that keep coming through the door.  It's funny though,  there is not as much extra room as I anticipated.  We have two new areas of shelving and two new areas to house our notions, patterns and rulers.

Here are the before and after:

 

 

Come in and see our transformation.  I still can't believe I found more room in this small space!

Shop Hops and New Arrivals

Hi Everyone,

There's a lot going on in the shop these days. We are working on something really big!  See it in person before we post it!  We'll be ready tomorrow!

Our newest addition is 95 spools of Sue Spargo's Perle Cotton #5 thread.  This gives you two weights to choose from.  We already have 145 spools of Sue Spargo's Perle Cotton #8.

The Perle Cotton is perfect for our new 'Fresh Cut' class.  Sign up for it and read more about it here.

Spring means it's time to start thinking Shop Hop. Below is the information on the bus tours for the QuiltMN Shop Hop.  We are now taking signups for all locations.  Click here to sign up on line.  Call us at 651.340.8263 and sign up over the phone.  Or, come in and see us!  

But first, the Twin Cities Shop Hop.  We have a great tool to demo and a couple of stunning quilts kitted.  Those who have seen the quilts as we've been preparing them bought out all of our tools and patterns!  More will be in soon.

New Arrivals:

'Growing Beautiful' is from Moda.  Click here to purchase it on the website.

We have three collections from Robert Kaufman.  This is 'Pen & Ink 2'.  The two white fabrics do have a subtle pattern on them.  It's hard to see on the picture.  Purchase it on the website here.

The other two collections are batiks.  This is 'Helsinki'.

And 'Terrace 3':  Click here to see the batiks on the website.

New Arrivals and Class

Hi Everyone,

Classes:

We added a new class 'Fresh Cut'.  It uses Sue Spargo's books and her popular flowers.  So many of you have purchased the book and asked about having a class.  And since Pam has made so many of the blocks in the book we felt a class was the next step.  It will meet on four Tuesday evenings from 6-9 pm on April 30 and May 7, 14 and 21st.  Click here to get more information and sign up.  This is perfect timing before summer.  Prep your blocks so you can take the hand stitching with you all summer long.

 

Also, we still have room in our Intermediate Free Motion Machine Quilting class on Saturday, April 6.  Faye teaches this class about once every 18 months.  So now is the time to take it if you can.  Click here to sign up. 

We have a new kit this week.  'Floret' measures 64"x80" and uses batiks and a new neutral grunge.  This quilt is perfect for spring!

New Arrivals:

We've received some more great new knits in the 'Avalana' line from Stof Fabrics.  This high quality knit is a joy to sew!  Click here to purchase it on the website.

 

See you soon,

Faye

 

New Arrivals

Hi Everyone,

Lately my goal has been to stock up on the basics, concentrating on giving you lots of choices in colors and textures.  These two collections from Northcott fit in well.  This is 'Canvas' by Deborah Edwards. Despite the name, this is quilting cotton, not canvas weight.

The above bolts are in the store.  The following will be coming soon.

 

This is 'Simply Neutral'.  Click here to purchase both collections on the website.

Our next collection of basics is 'Terra' by Norm Wyatt for P&B Textiles.  Click here to purchase on the website.

Don't forget the Twin Cities Shop Hop!

See you soon,

Faye

New Arrivals and Kits

Hi Everyone,

'Read With Me' is back!  This kit flew off the shelves and we were just now able to restock.  It is 38"x56".

Our newest kit is 'Girls in Stripes'.  It is 40" x 52".  There are a limited number of these so if you want one, come in or call soon (651 340 8263).

New Arrivals:

This richly colored collection is 'Forest Fancies' from P&B Textiles.  Click here to purchase it on the website.

'Rejuvenation' is an interesting ombre with a twist from Maywood Studios.  There are only these four colors.  I wish there were more.  It is not available on the website so come in or call to order (651 340 8263).

'Tattoed North' by Libs Elliot is a nice collection of neutrals from Andover Fabrics.  Click here to purchase it on the website.

The Twin Cities Shop Hop is coming up.

Hi Everyone,

It may not feel like spring yet, but it's time to start thinking about the Twin City Shop Hop!

We've been getting lots of new Japanese fabric in the shop.  We have some beautiful double gauze from Kokka for garments and quilts.

 

Great new canvas weight fabrics are also new from Kokka and others:

'Safari' by Masaru Suzuki is from Cotton & Steel.  It's easy to identify the elephant print.  But can you spot the lions and birds?  Click here to purchase it on the website.

We have so many new fabrics we haven't yet put in the emails.  Stop by soon to get first choice.

New Arrivals

Hi Everyone,

Thank you all for your overwhelming show of support over the last week.  All of the emails and cards have been wonderful.  Here's to Moms!

We are featuring QT Fabrics this week.  This is 'Wild Side', a great kids collection.  The first two pictures are shown on a smaller scale to give you a better idea of all that's on it.

'Delia' has a definite watercolor feel to it.  The first fabric has been flying out the door.

For the music lovers, we have 'Fine Tuning'.  The first picture is the panel.  Click here to purchase all the QT collections on the website.

'Kaleidoscope' is from Windham Fabrics.  I love the whimsey of the butterfly trees.  Click here to purchase it on the website.

See you soon,

Faye
