New Arrivals

Hi Everyone,

There is still room in a couple of October classes.  Sedona is a Mini Block of the Month starting October 18th.  Bring your machine to this BOM and sew a new block in every class.  It runs for six months (we skip December).  We have inexperienced and seasoned quilters taking this class.  No matter who you are, it provides a framework and organization to get the quilt done without the fear of having another unfinished project.

Bag Basics is on Saturday, October 27.  Find a pattern you find challenging for this workshop oriented class.  See class details and sign up by clicking here.

New Arrivals:

There is a lot of variety coming in the door these days.  From Free Spirit we have Natalie Malan's beautiful digital prints, 'Georgia Blue'.  Click here to purchase on the website.

P&B Fabrics has created more animals.  There is the digital panel and one multi-colored fabric that goes well with it.  

'Enchanted' by Flora Bowley is another digital collection from P&B Textiles.  Purchase both collections here on the website.

'Paint' is from Andover.  These panels are also printed digitally.  See it here on the website.

We've received more bolts of canvas Japanese fabrics from Kokka and others.  Unfortunately, we were not able to get decent pictures of them so you'll have to stop in to be able to appreciate them.  Also, they are not available on the website.

See you soon,

Faye

New Arrivals & Pattern Correction

Hi Everyone,

Sometimes I have mental blocks.  We all do.  But this one of mine was really bad.  I made another mistake on the Animal Pillow pattern.  Even though I corrected one mistake in a previous email I still had a customer find another in the cutting instructions (read the next paragraph if you wish to know more about how I made the mistake).  The correction is that you need to cut twice as many rectangles out of the grunge dot fabrics:  Four at 4½" x 7½" and four at 4½" x 11½".  This is possible with the fat quarter you were given.  Cut four 4½" strips- cut them at 4¼" if they are a little too tight for 18" across the fat quarter.  4¼ will be fine for what you need to make.  No matter what, they need to be perpendicular to the selvage.  Next cut one rectangle of each size out of each strip.  Read the next paragraph if you a curious about how this happened.  Otherwise, skip to the new arrivals.

I think I have had more problems with the pillow patterns because I am making the pillows as well as writing the pattern.  Usually someone else is making the quilts rather than myself.  For this pattern I had help with figuring out the rectangle sizes and how to piece the block, although there were no cutting instructions.  I figured out how to put the pillow together and then about a week later went to write the pattern and misread the instructions I had been given.  Totally my bad.  Since the process for these pillows was different and I was rushing it to have it out for my regular customers prior to the MN Shop Hop things got overlooked.  It is so hard to proof your own work!

New Arrivals:

'Birds of Paradise' by Shirley Copperwhite is a new collection from Camelot Fabrics.  Purchase it here on the website.

I only purchased this one fabric from the 'Elliot Ave' collection from Cloud 9 Fabrics.  Click here to see it on the website.

We have a couple of collections from Art Gallery.  This is 'Little Clementine'.  

This is 'Virtuosa' by Bari J, also from Art Gallery.  Purchase both collections here on the website.

We haven't seen a lot from Moda lately, but these blenders are nice. This is 'Metropolis'.

And this is 'Mixologie'.  Click here to purchase both collections on the website.

See you soon,

Faye

Hi Everyone,

The sale starts on Tuesday!

September Sale

We have three new kits in the store.  We think they're great.  I hope you like them too.

We completed our Penguin Party quilt.  It is great for any age or gender.  I know my 14 year old nephew would love it.  The quilt measures 60" x 64".

Sedona is now up in the store.  Jamie did a stellar job and I'm quite pleased with my quilting as well.  We have a class for this quilt.  It is large and the 6 month class will make it easier for you to finish.  You do not need the kit for the class.  We also have the pattern and tool available.  The kit does not include these.  It is fabric only.  There are two layouts for this quilt.  We are only kitting the larger quilt - 84" x 103".

The last quilt we are showing is Color Collage using Anna Maria Horner's main fabric from the Passion Flower collection.  We made this kit in two colorways.  Pictured is the olive colorway.  Grey is also available.  The quilt measures 60" x 74".  If you want to take the 'Wonky Rails & Fussy Cutting Secrets' class this kit makes a great project, but it is not necessary.

Last week we showed you'Succulent Centerpiece', the table runner and placemats kit.  The collection we used is 'Window Garden' by Heather Rosas from Camelot Fabrics.  The first picture is a large panel measuring a full yard x WOF.   See it here on the website.

We have a fun new collection from Windham Fabrics for all you travelers.  This is 'Road Trippin' by Terri Degenkolb.  Purchase it here on the website.  

See you soon,

Faye
