Introducing the Modern Minis Program

Take Part in 2T’s

Modern Minis Program

Featuring Patterns from Jaybird Quilts

Mini Come What May Quilt
Approx. Size: 16" x 20" 

Each month we’re offering:

·      A pattern

·      A fabric kit like our sample (pattern/template sold separately)

·      Acrylic template, if required for the project

More Details:

·      Jaybird Quilts has designed a new ruler for these patterns. The Mini Hex N’ More ruler is easy to use and versatile, it can help you create triangles, hexies, half-hexies, and diamonds.

·      This ruler is used for multiple patterns in the program.

·      Kit Prices will vary from month to month.

Sign up today to reserve your kit; quantities will be limited. We will be posting photos of each new project online as well as displaying it in the shop.

If you’re not local but want to participate, let us know and we will work with you to create a shipping plan.

For a small investment of time and money these projects offer a chance to:

·      refine piecing,

·      improve cutting accuracy, and

·      practice machine quilting.

The completed projects make great wall hangings, placemats, table toppers, pillows, doll bed quilts, and more.  Brighten up your project stash with these fun little quilts!

 

2014 in review

As we worked to complete our year-end inventory process and consolidate paperwork in preparation for annual taxes (yep, that is what owning a quilt shop is all about...!), we were reminded of some of our completed projects that we have sprinkled out into the world.  Perhaps you were involved in one of these fundraising activities and recognize our projects too?

We donated store samples, gift certificates and store merchandise to a few groups in our area including :

The La Conner Quilt Museum

Blaine Fine Arts Association

The Firs Kids

United Way of Skagit County

Campfire Samish

Habitat for Humanity

Days for Girls

NW Corner Catholic Community Youth Group

Local Quilt Guilds

We know a lot of generous quilters that participate regularly in sewing for various hospitals, shelter's, veteran's and other great causes.  Thanks for doing so much for our community everyone!

And in case you have an extra kids quilt laying around - we are still a drop off location for Project Linus donation quilts.  Check out the details about their requirements on their website.

2T in the News

We were recently approached to participate in a local shopping blog highlighting Whatcom County crafters, knitters, and quilters.  I met Teresa Schmidt last week for a quick photo shoot and she combined these pictures and details about our shop!  Thanks Teresa!

Red and Cream and quilted allover!

Have you seen the latest treats from French General?  We stitched up this wall hanging, just in time to solve the riddle...what's red and cream and quilted all over?!

Petite Prints

Petite Wovens

Petite Charmpacks and Mini Charms

Pixelated Heart

This simple heart is from a Pattern designed by Blue Elephant Stitches and uses charm squares.  For our version we opted to go with smaller squares - a perfect mix of red and chocolate?    

It's raining and pouring...

Well this is sewing weather for sure, now that schedules are settling back into a routine and new years resolutions are accomplished (?!).....it must be time for a fabric fix, don't you think?

Lots and Lots of fabrics

We are busy moving things around, putting holiday fabric away and switching out our palette from red and green to more red and white!  We have lots of new fabrics starting to appear on the shelves and more new project ideas underway.

Atelier 3 Sisters

Hearts Content by Laundry Basket

We have layer cakes and jelly rolls for this beautiful Laundry Basket group.  Pre-cuts are a great way to get more variety and a head start on a project you can whip up at your next sewing retreat!

Evergreen Curated Fat Quarters

Paradise

Hmmm...pillowcases, aprons or just dreaming of summer?

Camping Theme prints

 All My Heart

 Ombre Dots

We love the variety of colors and motifs showing up in these contemporary collections - they make great wearables, tote bags as well as quilt.

Hope you have some fresh projects to get 2015 off to a great start!

Clue Challenge Quilts

Congratulations to the favorite clue challenge entries and...thank-you for participating in the challenge and/or coming in to view the projects and voting!  We put all the accurate guesses for the who, what, and where into a hat, and drew a name, so we have 3 winners!

Although we had several accurate guess's and one customer correctly solved the mystery for 6 of the 7 entries...we drew one name for a prize.  Joan was the lucky sleuth, along with viewer's choice winners Yvonne and Maddie.  Their projects are shown below.  

Viewers Choice Winner- Most Innovative Interpretation of Theme

Viewer's Choice Winner- Best use of Challenge Fabric

We loved all the entries and hope you had fun, thank-you again to everyone for participating!!

Stay tuned...we're incubating our next challenge idea so watch for something fun in 2015!
