MN Shop Hop Kits

Hi Everyone,

I spent the forth of July in my hometown, Portland Oregon, having a "mini" family reunion.  My three brothers and I got together with all of the kids- that would be my nieces, nephews and great nieces and nephews.  There were 18 of us with my nieces and nephews ranging in age from 38 to 8 years old.  It was something we hadn't done before so it was really special.  If you don't know what it's like to be the only girl growing up in a family of boys than you just haven't lived.

 

Our Shop Hop kits are now available for purchase. Click here or on any photo to purchase a kit.  We've made it possible for you to now purchase a kit online and pick it up in the store.  If you want the kit shipped you will now have to add the shipping separately to your cart.  All kits will be ready to pick up or ship during the shop hop.  No kits will be able to leave the shop earlier than that.  Them the rules.

     

We hope you like our options.  We work hard to do something for everyone.  See you at the hop - or sooner!

New Kits!

Hi Everyone,

Just a reminder about the bus for the MN Shop Hop.  $30.00 of Aurifil thread is your gift when you take the bus for $39.95.

 

Kits:

Robert Kaufman has done it again with great winter panel scenes.  I developed a pattern, Winter Wonder II, and kitted it in all three colorways.  It measures 50" x 64" and sells for $64.99. Our sample is in the tan/teal colorway.  The other colorways are shown below.  Click here to order on the website.

All kits contain a medium and dark value fabric for the frames.  Next in the pictures is the background color followed by the border print.  The first colorway below is in grey.  As above, we've used grunge for the background.

And this is the indigo colorway.  The background fabric is Quilters Linen (100% cotton) platinum which is a whisper of a blue/grey tint.  The medium blue frame fabric comes directly from the collection with the trees.  We also used a Quilters Linen, Teal (a bit deceiving) for the dark framing fabric.  You can order any of these kits over the phone (651-340-8263), or on the website.  And of course, we'd love to see you in person.

We have a new baby quilt kit done in a flannel and cotton mix.  Lions and Tigers and Bears... and Bunnies is the perfect size for any infant, 40" x 45", and it sells for $52.99.  Click here to purchase the kit on the website.

We are having a great time visiting with travelers picking up Row x Row kits.  We've already had to order more bolts of fabric.  They arrived yesterday so all colorways are back in stock.  Our Market Reveal party was great fun.  Thanks to all of you who were able come.  We can still take Charley Harper fabric pre-orders.  All of the other fabric pre-orders are no longer available as pre-orders.  

We are now busy creating great projects for the Minnesota Shop Hop using this year's fun fabrics.  We will email pics of those kits once we have everything completed and photographed.  I'm hoping that's next week!  See you soon,

Faye

New Arrivals

From Windham we have Story.  I love this collection so much I've created a pattern and kit.  We've already used up the first bolt of the panel fabric for those who saw the quilt in progress and ordered a kit.  The second bolt is on it's way!  If you'd like a kit, please call us, 651.340.8263.  We'll happily set one aside with you with prepayment).  Here's the collection and the Kit:

 

Here's the kit, "2 Doors Down".  Size 56" x 67":

 

Another new quilt in the store uses the Robert Kaufman batik stripes we've been receiving since mid summer.  Just got a new one last week in fact.  We had the quilt folded on the table, not quilted or on the wall, and we couldn't keep people away.  Choose any colors you wish.  It's a quick and easy project for the males (or females) in your life.  This one is called "Below Ground"  60"x80":

 

Next up, from In the Beginning, we have new flannels just for that new baby.  This is the highest quality flannel I think we've ever received.  Lush, Thick and Soft:

As always, thanks for taking a look!

NEW KIT, NEW ARRIVALS

Hi Everyone!

Here is our runner for the Twin Cities Shop Hop completion pattern.  If you go to all the shops on the tour and have your passport stamped you'll get the pattern to make this "May Day" runner.  We made a kit containing Sarah Watts great bee print for Cotton and Steel.  We have the runner up in the shop if you'd like to stop by for a look.  We are also kitting another runner in a variation to this pattern.  We'll be using the Succulents collection by Heather Givens for Windham Fabrics. I love this collection!!!  Stay tuned for that!

 

We have a new kit!  We used Hoffman Fabric's digital collection for a new "Lotta Blvd." It is gorgeous.  These kits retail for $34.99.

 

We have a lot of awesome new fabric.  We have new fish from Moda, which would make great borders or add interest to any kid's quilt or outdoor quilty things.

 

New from Windham we have the collection "Heavy Metal".  These fabrics are simple but have a little twist.  In each of them there is a silver, copper or gold metallic pattern.  The colors are deep, rich solids.  Perfect for any modern quilt.

 

Thanks for looking!
