Longeveity Pattern Correction

It's come to my attention that there is an error to the Longevity pattern that went out in our kits.  If you didn't catch it, you would still end up with one beautiful quilt.  The error is in the cutting instructions for the blue and red fabrics (the dotted fabric in the kit).

You need to flip the large rectangle sizes for the blue and red fabric as indicated here:

From fabric C (blue)  cut one 12½" x 15" and one 8 ½" x 6½" rectangle.

From fabric D (red) cut one 8 ½" x 16 ½" and one 6" x 11 ½" rectangle.

All cuts from the 2½" strips remain the same.  You should have enough fabric to make this change.

I apologize for any confusion this might cause.  I've written over 300 patterns since I opened  almost nine years ago.  I wish I could tell you there has never been any errors but I am human.

Kits and New Arrivals

Hi Everyone,

We have some great new kits that we are very excited about.  This is 'Bird Love'.  The back is so fun we had to show it.  The pattern and panel for the back is included in the instructions.  Final size is 40" x 48".

Just in time for Spring, we have 'Bloom'.  The colors in this quilt are so calming and beautiful.  And the blocks are very fun to make.  Final size is 54" x 70".

We have two new table runners/wall hangings.  This is 'Here... Kitty, Kitty'  Leave it to the Japanese to design such fun cats.  These kits are very limited.  Final size is 16" x 45"

And this is 'Poppy'.  It great for over a bed or sofa.  Final size is 27" x 77".

New Arrivals:

We have some new critters and blenders from Dear Stella.  I love the scalloped dots.  The soft colors would be sweet for a baby quilt.  See them here on the website.

We got in some great chicken fabrics.  They're from both Michael Miller and Alexander Henry.   Click here to see them on the website.

This is 'Sketch Book' from Andover.  Nothing like birds on a wire!  See it here on the website.

We've had a lot of new fabric coming in the door.  Stop in and browse.

Pattern Correction

The new GRINCH 2014 pattern has a correction!

In the cutting instruction change the size for the wreath rectangles.  They should be 5"x 4 1/2".  This means that the bold italic copy under "Creating the Border Blocks:"  should read "Frame the 5" wide x 4 1/2" high fussy cut rectangles:"

The cutting instructions for the "Solid Pea Pod Green" need to change:  You need only four, instead of five, 3 1/4" strips.  Cut four, instead of eight, 3 1/4" x 12" rectangles.

We're sorry for any confusion this may have caused.

NEW ARRIVALS. NEW KITS

Hi Everyone

We have a few new kits in the shop.  We'll share three now and others in upcoming emails.  The first kit uses the "Indelible" collection from Art Gallery.  It's perfect for those of you who like neutrals.

 

 

Our Stepping Stones pattern makes this deer print stand out.  Hearts for the girls and deer for the boys!

 

We've modernized our veggie prints in this table runner:

 

Fun for kids or, the kid in all of us, are foxes and other cuties.  "Timerland Critters" is new from AdornIt.

 

Tula Pink has designed Moon Shine for Free Spirit.  LOVE THESE DEER!

 

Now you can see why we needed those deer we rescued!  Come take a look at our new displays.  They are one of my favorite things in a long time!

Finally!  The main floral from the Ghastlies collection is now in the store.  And I couldn't pass up another "Sebastian" cat print.   If you've already purchased from this collection you'll have to stop by and see the new additions.

 

As fall is just around the corner, Halloween's "Witchful Thinking" from Clothworks is now in stock.  Hurry up!  The panel is almost gone!

NEW CLASS! NEW ARRIVALS!

Hi everyone!

We now have our own pattern, Larpentuer, using the Hex N More!  Shannon Quigley, our fabulous  lang-arm machine artist, made a baby quilt using hexs like “beads on a string”. I liked it so much I asked her to make a throw version for the store.  I think it is stunning!  She uses the Hex N More somewhat differently than Julie Herman- Hex N More’s maker.  Learn her approach during this two night class.  Kits in this colorway are also available.  Click here to register!

 

New from RJR Fabrics if the Flutter collection: 

 

 

We also had to buy this fabric from RJR.  Very folkloric!  I love the bunnies and owls.

 

New from Moda are their Jelly Bean Batiks.  The first batik arrivals with more to come.

New Year's Day Sale & Block of the Month 2014

New Year's Day Sale!

The new year is right around the corner, and to celebrate we're having a one day only sale on January 1st. 

20% off fabric, notions and books.*  Sale fabrics marked down 50-70%!

 

Block of the Month 2014

Block of the Month meets once a month in the morning for one year, beginning in February.  Come in on the second Saturday of every month at 9:00am or 11:00am to receive fabric and instructions for specific blocks.  Each session runs approximately 45 minutes.  Make one or more blocks each month before coming back to class the next month and receive the next set of fabrics and instructions.

We also catch you up on Twin Cities Quilting’s new offerings, showing you the latest patterns, books and fabric available.  It’s a great way to become part of our community.  Each month we have show and tell, letting you see what others in your community have been creating.  It’s a fun, upbeat way to start your weekend.  Join with your quilting friends and have a year long plan to get together.  Many groups will meet for coffee, breakfast or lunch at one of the many close restaurants before or after class.

The class fee includes instructions and fabric that are passed out during the monthly class.  We give you approximately 3/8 yard every month (plenty of leftovers to create a scrappy quilt).  By purchasing a kit you’ll receive: 1) enough background fabric to make the background blocks, rails, and border, 2) all block framing fabric 3) all the inner and outer fabric.

Visit our website to see both the colorways, Botanics (shown above) and Batiks, and to register.

 

*New Year's Sale:  1/2 yard minimum cut.  Includes pre-cut regularly priced half yards.  Batting by the yard, select new arrival fabrics, classes, gift certificates and new kits excluded.
