Asian Infusion

We have had a few requests for Asian fabrics. 

Specifically one of our customers, a male quilter incidentally, has told us he loves our shop but is going to open up a Quilters Crossing Annex across the street and only sell Asian fabrics! Before he gets too deep in his plans for this, we thought we'd just order some Asian fabrics for him. Without further ado:

Here is the panel:

New Fabric and finishes!

Bird Fabrics we got several requests for fabric with birds and we found this cute RJR line we liked, hope you do too!

Pretty tie-dye looking bolt that coordinates

 Check out the adorable bird eggs!

Here are a couple of customer finishes that we have had the pleasure of seeing recently:

This was made from a precut pack of Honky Tonk from Moda. She stopped back in to shop for a border and backing for it!

 Jean had this top started and needed some help with an outer border. She found what she needed, went home and finished it up. Thanks for bringing it in for us to see the finished project Jean!

Our customers continue to inspire and impress us!

A Quilting Stampede!

For the first time our shop was asked to participate in the

Greater Houston Spring Quilt Shop Hop. 

It is held on March 26-29th. We will have extended hours during 

the shop hop. There are some really great prizes for participants and you can participate at different levels-- meaning go for the grand prize or go for one of the other prizes. There is a quilt designed locally for this hop. 

Each shop will sell a portion of the quilt kit. 

It is a beautiful quilt featuring Moda's wildflower fabrics.

Can't wait to share this with you all!

It's going to be a Quilting STAMPEDE! 

Check out the website for the hop to start planning your F.A.R.T. (Fabric Acquisition Road Trip)- sorry I have been waiting for a chance to use that!

New in the shop this week:

Catopia

 Kitties!

 This 3-D looking pattern with 3 options to chose from and it uses this ombre jellyroll (pictured below)

 Chantilly from Moda:

We are also receiving some precuts of this line (jellyrolls, layer cakes and charm packs) 

Can't wait to see everyone at open house!

New size!

One of our best selling bag patterns is the Mondo bag. (Dolores taught it as a class too!). The pattern designers then came out with a slightly smaller size the Midi bag and that sold really well too. Well they have done it again, meet the Bitty bag!

The one pictured above was made with a charm pack of Honky-Tonk fabric by Moda and I did the whole thing in one night! 

It has two versions, seen here is the hobo style drawstring but you can also purchase handles and make it a more traditional purse style closure.

Great for a quick gift or a gift bag! The pattern comes with enough interfacing sheets for 2 bags too!
