What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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.
