Fabric Additions

Can't live on fabric alone - or can you if you have enough variety?  We're testing the theory and adding more to the shelves!

3 yards and done!

Do you ever need a quick project to give as a gift, satisfy a donation request or perhaps just get you through the transition to the next big project or just because you want a sewing fix?!   These 3 yard quilt projects certainly fit all of those possibilities - here are a few photos of some of our samples.  

3-Yard Quilts

These patterns are fast, fast, FAST!!  Perfect for that last minute baby shower or birthday gift.  Just one yard each of three different fabrics is all you need for the quilt top and binding.  We've got 5 different patterns to choose from and we've even handpicked and bundled some coordinating fabrics...so really a no stress option all the way from start to finish!

Even More Fabric

We've moved past all the birds in the previous posting of new fabric, and now we have cheetahs!  The bottom fabric shown is a linen/cotton blend heavier weight canvas perfect for totes, and pillow covers!

This fun hexagon fabric would make a great backing for a small quilt - or a focal fabric on front that you can use as a guide for some practice quilting - no marking required!

Cotton & Steel

And the lovely collection Jardin de Versailles from Moda by French General is perfect for spring for a soft floral look.  These prints work well with several other lines we have in stock so you can go as scrappy as you want!  We have the printed panel and all the fabrics to make this beauty!

Lots of new fabric collections to choose from - if you have a graduation or other special event coming up that you need to get underway, we'd love to help you make the perfect choice for someone special.  Happy Stitching!

New fabric deliveries!

We have been trying to get in the mood for spring - in between rain storms we have settled for some serious spring cleaning, rearranging store fixtures and trying to squeeze in a few more bolts of fabric!  Stop by the shop and see what you think about our latest configuration.

Dear Stella Supernova Knit

We have added more knits and other substrates perfect for some fun kidswear, tshirts and other wearables - and of course you always get creative and put a wonderful soft lawn on the back of a quilt for mix in some cotton/linen blends into your quilt top.  It's a busy time of year starting with end of year school activities, graduations and wedding showers, etc.  We have some fun ideas for gift projects if you're not sure what to make for whom.

Spring Classes

These  photos below are the current status of some of the students work in the current Imagine your Design class - of course, a before shot would be more meaningful to show the progression!  What starts with orphan blocks, theme fabric, or just an inspiration photo can take you places you didn't know you were going!  It's been great fun to see these projects grow and develop as students evaluate their choices and brainstorm with Jane.  See below for the class description for the ongoing series starting up again in May.

*NEW 3-MONTH SESSION*
Imagine Your Design with Jane Buys

Above are some student samples from Jane's last session.  Some beautiful and creative works-in-progress!  If you'd like to design your own quilt(s) or possibly you're already designing but find yourself with a bad case of "Quilter's Block", then Jane's class provides the perfect atmosphere and collaboration to get you headed in the right direction.   Class time will include show and tell and individual consultation with guidance for design possibilities. Inspiration and motivation to help you personalize and design a quilt that's all your own. Appropriate for quilters with some prior experience.

English Paper Piecing isn't just about hexagons and Grandmother's flower garden blocks anymore!  Have you seen the latest Brimfield Block that offers myriad design options for fussy cutting, focal fabric centers and everything in between.  Here are a couple of our sample ideas.  

If you like the idea of a perfect portable hand sewing project for travel or 'found time' (aka waiting at doctors offices, watching sports events, etc.) English Paper Piecing could be your new addiction.  We have a few spots left in our basics class where you can learn the skills to tackle any shape on Saturday April 21st.  You can register online or stop by the shop!  

A little bit of precision and a whole lot of fun get's packed into a small quilt.  These 9-patch small quilts showcase design choices, with emphasis on value and print scale.  Class time will also be spent establishing some basic skills in accuracy to set you up for success for future projects.  If you've admired some of our scrappy reproduction quilts but have been intimidated on how to transition from big blocks to these smalls, this is a great opportunity to enhance and refine your cutting and sewing skills by spending a day with Jane.   The Shaded 9-patch class is scheduled for  Friday May 18th.
