Twin Cities Quilting

New Arrivals

Hi Everyone,

For all of you Grunge lovers there is a challenge from Moda.  Quilts need to be complete and at the store by August 21st.  More information to follow.

 

This unique collection is 'Modern Landscape' by Noelle Phares from Paintbursh Studio.  Click here to see it on the website.  

The new collection from Cotton & Steel is 'Emilia' by Megan Carter.  Many of us at the store really like this collection.  For me, it is a modern update of fabrics my mother would have liked.  Click here to see it on the website.

'Tree Huggers' by Maude Asbury is from Blend Fabrics.  Cute!  See it on the website here.

We have two collections from 'Three Wishes'.  This is 'Lovitude' by Anne Pryor.  The first two pictures are panels. See both collections on the website here.

'Great Outdoors' by Connie Haley:

The Shop Hop is coming up.

Just a reminder, our website is still in transition.  For the time being no purchases can happen over the internet.  Feel free to call us.  651-340-8263

See you soon,

Hi Everyone,

How Fun!  We had a visit from Rob Appell from Michael Miller Fabrics. Click here to see the video he made while he was touring the shop.

We also now carry Sue Spargo's felted merino wool.  I've been thinking about doing this for a while and decided to take the plunge.  It is comparably priced to our hand dyed selection but the sixty colors are solids.  They make for a more modern look and show off your embroidery stitches a bit more. We are selling them in fat quarters and fat eighths.

Our website is still not processing payments.  You will have to call the store if you can't make it in- 651.340.8263.  We've been converting the website to a new program and payment option so it may take a little time.  If you are unable to get on the website it may be because we are in the process of switching.  We will have everything working soon.  

Our new arrivals this week are animals.  This is 'Farm Charm' by Gingiber from Moda.  Click here to see it on the website.

'State Fair' is from Windham.  See it on the website here.

From Art Gallery, we have 'Oh Meow' by Jessica Swift.  Click here to see it on the website.

From 'Forest Fellows' by Robert Kaufman we got in one of their most popular prints.  See it on the website here.

We have two collections from Hoffman.  This panel is from 'Zoo Keeper'.  There are only 4 of these panels left.  Click here to see both collections on the website.

'Fly Home' is a beautiful collection from Hoffman.  Very 'outdoorsy' and the ombre sky and/or water prints are exceptional.   

Make your plans for the Twin Cities Shop Hop.

See you soon,

Faye

 

New Kits and New Arrivals

Hi Everyone,

We have two new kits using the 'Hello World' collection featured below. We've been working hard to give you some great, easy projects with this collection.  This is 'Animal Lover'.  It measures 50" x 66".  I don't think you can get much more precious for a new baby.

 We also made a quilt or wallhanging using the panel. This panel quilt measures 30" x 44".

 

We have two new collections from Blend Fabrics.  Here is the 'Hello World' we used for the two quilts above.  The first pictures are the panels. We have limited quantities of these prints since they are in the kits.  Click here to see both collections  on the website.

     

'Seeds' is their great collection of blenders:

It's Shop Hop time!

See you soon,

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.

Don't forget, our Big Stitch also starts in February.  Right now we have cats and dogs planned.  Let me know if you have interest in other animals.  Click here to read more.

New Arrivals:

'Floret Geometric' is the new collection from RJR Fabrics.    I love the colors.  My first thought when we opened the box was 'we have to make something!'  Click here to purchase it on the website.

From Art Gallery, we have 'Earthen' by Katarina Roccella, my favorite designer from AGF.  Click here to purchase it on the website.

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.

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.

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.

New Arrivals 1

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 Fabric is a new company for us.  These three collections, all by Mia Charro, work for kids or adults.  Purchase them on the website by clicking here. This is 'Floral Pets'- cats and dogs.  Something must be in the air.  There are two ½ yard panels (three rows) and one blender.

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:

'Junglemania' is also a lot of fun.  There are three blenders for this print:

 

We have two new batik collections from Robert Kaufman.  This is 'Inspired by Nature'.  Purchase both collections on the website by clicking here.

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.

The newest collection from Andover is 'Declassified' by Guicy Guice.  We have a great new quilt, kit and class coming this winter.  I can't wait for the sample.  Jamie is working hard on it.  She's shown me a couple of pictures.  Click here to purchase it on the website.

 

 

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:

 

 

See you soon,
