Twin Cities Quilting

New Arrivals

Hi Everyone,

Thanks to all of you for another great year!  I am so happy to bring you interesting fabrics and projects.  So many of you stop and give me complements in the store.  I want you to know how grateful I am that you love my store and my staff.  We work really hard to make your experience special.  And we love seeing all of you week in and week out.  Thank you for making my life so special.

Block of the Month is going strong.  We've had a great response.  We are making a large throw and offering two colorways (pictured below).  The sample is made with the 'Night & Day' colorway.  We will be making the 'Abstract' colorway along with the class.  What I like most about this quilt is that it really draws you in to see the fabulous imagery of the prints.  Click here to read more about Block of the Month.  You can sign up online, or come see the quilt in person.

Hi Everyone,

I wish you all a wonderful holiday season!  Enjoy your family, eat too much and come in the store to buy your own holiday gift.  We all deserve to treat ourselves to new fabric this time of year.  I even shop the store this time of year.  Last week I took home the new extra-large stripology ruler.  I'm going to test it out this weekend once my 60mg rotary cutter arrives.  One customer told me she cuts up to eight layers and can get everything cut so much faster.  Stop by next week and I will show you how it works.  I'm also considering taking home the new Creative Grid mats due in early January.

We had overwhelming enthusiasm for our new 'Gradated Canvas' quilt.  I wasn't planning to make kits but was convinced to bundle a starter kit.  Not only is the color gradation beautiful, it also has real 'I Spy' quality to it.  The quilt measures 56" x 70".  Stop in or call the shop to order a kit (651 340 8263).

New Arrivals:

The newest Charley Harper collection is 'Winter Wonderland' from Birch Fabrics.  The last fabric is the cardinals on barkcloth (60" wide).  Click here to purchase it on the website.

From In The Beginning Fabric, we have some vibrant digital prints in 'Unusual Garden' by Jason Yenter.    Here, I decided not to buy main prints but couldn't resist these fun smaller prints.  Purchase it on the website by clicking here. 

'Papier Mache' is from PB Textiles.  You have to see these in person to really appreciate their subtle beauty.  Click here to purchase it on the website.

Hi Everyone,

Just a reminder that loyalty points will be added up at the end of the year.  You may only have a bit more to spend to make it to the next level.  Come on in and see where you stand.

I know you've been waiting!  I've been sewing up a storm to get it done.  And now we have our 2020 Block of the Month sample up in the store.  'Night and Day' is the colorway of our sample.   It uses beautiful new digital prints from the artist Flora Bowley.  The prints aren't available yet but I will be getting some early just for Block of the Month. Click here to see all of the details. 

'Night and Day' Colorway:

Our second colorway is 'Abstract' using another great new digital print from P&B.

We also have our first samples from the 2020 Big Stitch sessions.  This year's theme is 'Cats and Dogs'  (the cats are listed first for a reason, even if it is just my personal preference).  These images are fun and whimsical.  Play up the color in your own way to get a very unique look - who says they need to look realistic!  Sign up and learn more about the monthly class by clicking here.

Blend Fabrics has had such great success with these rectangular animal prints that they have released others.  'Birdie' has been flying off the shelf.  There are two blenders for this ½ yard panel:

Hi Everyone,

I hope you saw the email about our classes.  Some have already filled.  Click here to sign up.

Before we go any further I want to let you know that I looking for a new person to work on the emails and website.  Kris has been great but wants to move on.  We will be changing websites soon and working with a new program.  Right now, as many of you know, my website is not device responsive.  We hope to make this transition early next year.  If you are interested please call me or come in the store.  Although it may not matter once we transition to the new website, we are entirely Mac based.

'The Ghastlies' from Alexander Henry are back!  This time it is all about romance - I think they intended these to be a Valentine's Day theme. The top row is three prints in the more subdued colorway.  All of the other prints are from the brighter colorway. 

 

Also from Alexander Henry, we have one print from three different collections: 'Home Sewing is Easy', 'Cool Cats', and 'Big Bites'.  All are large scale prints with a bit of humor.  Purchase all the Alexander Henry collections by clicking here.

 

 

'Breeze', the new collection from Zin Chic, is from Moda.  Click here to purchase it on the website.  You'll need to come in the store to see just how cool these oversized stripes are.

 

 

See you soon,

Hi Everyone,  

Rose and I will be leaving for Quilt Market later this week.  We are looking forward to getting away and seeing what's new out there.  I've already purchased many fabrics and seen some great new notions on the internet.  I'll check them out while I'm there.  Follow us on Instagram if you want to see pictures!  One of the best things - Houston will be sunny and about 70°.  I'm sure we all agree that it is way too cold and rainy this fall.

We have two new collections from Windham.  This is 'Fantasy' by Sally Kelly.  In my opinion this is the best collection I have seen in a while.  It combines a 'pen & ink' style of illustration with an updated Liberty of London look.  Purchase both collections on the website by clicking here.

 

'Bear Camp' is a great outdoorsy collection for kids.  Love the camping theme:

New Kits for the Hop

Hi Everyone,

The Twin Cities shop hop starts tomorrow!

We have five great new kits ready for you. 

‘Modern Geometry' is our free table runner pattern for those of you who are participating in the Twin Cities Schoolhouse Shop Hop.  We also have kits available to purchase.

This is 'Desert Bloom'.  It measures 17" x 59".  The colors on this table runner are stunning!

Did you say you like cat fabric!  'Retro Cat' makes a great wall hanging or table runner at 55" x 18".

'Forest Friends' is our new kid/baby quilt.  I even think modern Moms will like this palette.  It measures 40" x 52".

And 'Four Square' is 56"x 66".  The new Gingiber 'Merriment' fabric arrived late last week and I was able to whip this together over the weekend.  Simple, cute and a great size throw for any age - 56" x 66".  Stay tuned for next week's email where we'll show you the entire 'Merriment' collection.

New Arrivals:

The new '2019 Sun Prints' by Alison Glass are in!  I decide to expand our collection because I just love her colors.  And words are always popular.  Click here to purchase this collection by Andover.

These fabrics are additions to two collections that I purchased previously.  They are both from Cotton & Steel.  The first two are from 'Once Upon a Time' by Oka Emi and the last is from 'Safari' by Masaru Suzuki.  Purchase them on the website here.
