New Window Dressing!

We have spruced up a lot of things at the store within the last week, hanging dozens of new samples on display.  Many of them were new class quilts, which I will compile into another post real soon.  What I am showing today are the lovely baby and child quilts that our employees have made to entice and inspire you!  If I count correctly, there are 13 samples of an assortment of patterns.  

Most of them also have kits available using the same fabric that was used in our sample.

We even have Paddington Bear on hand to watch over it all!

PS-- we really do have a great team of ladies who work together very well!  It takes a village to make a quilt shop successful!

Bertie Is Ready For Thanksgiving!

Join us for the start of a new block-of-the-month program: 

Bertie's Year by Bonnie Sullivan.
The November sample of Bertie's Year is hanging in the store! Anne and Kristina have been working hard to get the samples and kits of these wonderful wool appliqué wall hangings ready for you. The background and border is special flannel that has the look of woven wool.  The applique pieces are felted wool.  Make them as individual hangings or sew together and make a larger wall quilt.

 New patterns and kits will be put out the 15th of each month. 

Kits contain the wool and flannel to make each block.  

Patterns sold separately.  An optional thread collection is also available, 6 balls of Valdani 12 wt perle cotton selected to go perfectly with the wool and flannel through the year. 
Finished size is approximately 13"x17".
A limited number of kits are available each month. Sign up now to request that your monthly kit is reserved for you, or choose the months that you would most like to make. 
A poster of all the months is displayed in the store. 

Patchabilities are in the Patch!

 It's time for some Patchabilities projects!  Our newest sample from Emily is Quilt Like Crazy.  It is pattern #148.  We have a whole bunch of Patchabilities samples on display, and we still get excited when we get a new one!  This has the added advantage of a pre-cut kit as an option if you want to skip the tracing, fabric selection, fusing and cutting.  All of the fabrics as shown are carefully selected and laser cut from the pattern shapes.  The lightweight fusible web is already applied to the wrong side of the designs.  All you have to do is sew up the border to the  background piece, lay out the cutouts and fuse them down.  Use a small buttonhole or blanket or zigzag stitch to hold them in place.  There are even coordinated buttons in the pattern to complete the design!

  

And to add to our "Up North Minnesota" decor, we have the 

Cabin in the North Woods, pattern #143.  This also has laser cut kits available, so finishing time has just been cut to a fraction of what it would normally be.  This might even be a gift that could be given on time!  You know what I'm talking about, right?!
