New Fabrics

We have received several new fabric lines in the last few weeks and every time I walk in the store I start making mental lists of what I am going to make, for who and for which of the upcoming holidays, birthdays and baby showers.  

I hope you find them as inspiring as I do!

Urban Camo

You asked for Camo fabric and we found it for you thanks to our friends at Moda

 Does your husbands deer lease need a quilt? 

We also received these sweet little girl prints that I can't resist!

Another customer request was for some Autumn fabrics especially with some leaves, we found Nature:

 Check out the textures in this line

Next we received:

 

Which has this adorable panel with 6 different buildings all with a quilt or quilts with them:

 We also got lots of coordinates:

 Love the sheep and if you are into collecting selvages this fabric has little sheep on the selvage edges!!!

 Wood prints:

 We also have a pattern which uses this line and we are working up a sample for you!

The first ever Quilt Across Texas shop hop has begun! Make sure you stop in to buy a passport so you can begin collecting stamps which could lead to some GREAT prizes! There is still plenty of time for you to start your Texas Quilt store tour!

Picture blast of new fabrics!

Please note that tomorrow is Tomball Night in guess where? Yes Tomball!  So they'll be closing off the roads all around the shop in mid-afternoon sorry for the inconvenience. 
We'll still be open and we are having free sew so get there early and you can park in either of the local parking lots at the corner of Commerce and Walnut. We'll even help you carry your stuff from there!
Here are a whole bunch of awesome fabrics we just got in and I apologize but, we got so many new batiks I couldn't keep up with photos but they are beautiful come and see!

New western/horse themed fabrics:

New sewing themed fabric:

"Double Helix" DNA looking fabric: I know we are nerds but hey it is neat looking and I really like it... okay maybe just I am the nerd...

We also got these Skull and Rose fabrics for those of you who aren't science nerds! 

I like it too so what does that mean? I don't know....

And we are now carrying more precuts, here are some of our charm packs and jellyrolls, remember these are while supplies last...

Lots of classes coming up and still time for you to get it done before the holidays! Check our calendar!

We have two quilts made up from the Stonehenge Christmas line:

Both very lovely and quick to sew up!

 One uses the strip pack:

And one the ornament panel with coordinates.

Kits available for both.

See you soon!

Current Events at QXing

We were pleased to welcome Dalen and Mitzi Keys of Pennsylvannia to the shop on Wednesday. Dalen is the author of Just a Quilt?. 

He signed some books for us and we have a few of them available in the shop (while supplies last).  His wife Mitzi (a quilter), was there to teach her pattern which was featured in the book.  Many of the ladies in the class planned to make the quilt from the book and give it to a special child or grandchild along with a copy of the book. What a terrific gift! I can't wait to see them completed. 

For more information about Dalen you can find him here at his website, he was a great and inspiring speaker and is willing to travel!  He spoke at Tri-County Quilt Guild on Tuesday night and we had a really wonderful time getting to know Dalen and Mitzi and hope to see them again when his next book comes out!

Coming up....

On Saturday we are having a 20% off storewide sale and an open house. Our talented teachers will be in the classroom with class samples to entice you with.  A few refreshments will be served. Come in and sign up for a class!

Lastly.... 

We got a new fabric line in today called Doll Babies by Henry Glass.  I am thinking Diaper Bags, nursing covers, boppy covers, baby clothes and baby quilts....

Here is the main print:

And here are the coordinates:

 And the paisley has bottles and rattles in it!!

See you soon! No keyword right now we are too busy getting ready for the sale on Saturday!!

Catching up!

This week we totally re-vamped the layout of the store - I think we moved EVERY one of the 1,100 bolts of fabric we have except the batiks. Yes I did say 1,100 bolts, a diligent and supportive friend counted for us! I think you will be pleased when you next visit us!
We got several new fabric lines in this week so... cue photo montage!

And now, Hydrangeas by Clothworks 3 color sets that mix beautifully with each other.

Talented Houstonian Robyn Pandolph's line Rue St. Germaine. Full of pretty pink roses with creams and beiges. Very feminine and soft.

And some bluebonnets and wildflower fabrics we just couldn't say no to by Moda.

We also got an adorable puppy dog line with a cute panel and border print with plenty of coordinates:

These cute bright prints for young artists! Wouldn't these make an adorable art apron for a child? Hmmm... a tutorial may be coming up....

Inspiration Garden also has a pretty panel with nice messages on it.

 Along with several pretty coordinates. (below)

Lastly, even though snow is in short supply here in Southeast Texas that hasn't effected the Christmas spirit in our customers!  See one of our favorite Friday free sewing ladies had Christmas all the way down to her toes! Thank you Marge R. for letting me blog your toes!
