Tuffets!

Sewing together the strips and sections takes some time!

Then putting all the parts together -- Hey let's now forget we are making furniture here people!

 

 Robin and Margaret working on Robin's rainbow tuffet!

But the end product it so worth it!:

 Check out this talented group!

 Most of them already have plans for tuffet #2!

Congrats! Great job everyone! 

Looking for a gift for a techie or a teen?

Check out these little cuties:

 We have recently added a class to our busy schedule: 

Gadget Cushions taught by Joan Corson, 

November 11 from 9:30-12:30

 They are the perfect gift for a teen or a "techie" who always has that cell phone around!

Hey look I took a selfie!

 These little cuties hold your device at the perfect viewing angle and can be made in your favorite fun fabrics! They have a little weight to them so your device won't slide all over or have to be rearranged constantly to stay put. Great for gifting!

Tuffets in the works!

Margaret started the first session of  the long awaited Tuffet classes yesterday! If you didn't make this first round don't worry! She is offering another round before Christmas: See the photo below and call the shop to sign up!

Different tuffet sections sewn up! They really got a lot done in class!

 Cindy all business working on her tuffet!

 a Kaffe Fassatt theme for this one:

 Jana and Sonia-- serious work- we are making furniture afterall!

 Linda with some Kaffe's as well!

 Look at those bright rainbow sections! Won't that be gorgeous!

Cotton + Steel fabrics have been popular with all our quilters:

They have fun graphics and a retro yet modern feel to the style: 

 We are carrying some of their quilting cottons as well as some cotton lawn fabrics which have a satiny feel:

 And we have added some of their canvas fabrics:

Cotton and Steel precuts are available:

Even a sample made with Cotton and Steel fabrics from the pattern called: Chopsticks!

 Flannels: We have been asked to carry flannels for years and we now have some room so we are fulfilling this request from our customers!

We are also carrying some juvenile flannel lines as well!

One of our lesser known fabric lines is Frond:

 

 The artwork of Stephanie Brandenburg is always stunning and inspiring almost a poetic fabric!

These are from her line "Genesis" 

 We are pleased to bring you these unique fabrics!

 And of course we wouldn't be Quilters Crossing without some BRIGHTS!

These are called "Art Class" and are also available in several pre-cuts!

Frivols anyone?

So Moda fabrics has this new club called Frivols which we have available at the shop. 

They are adorable little tins containing well.... (happiness, for any quilter) but really:  a roll of fabrics and directions to make a quilt.

BUT that isn't all though! Each Frivol has a unique item--something you can't find ANYWHERE else and is just a little something to have fun with-- the first has something special from Camille Roskelley of Bonnie and Camille. How fun is that?

Also included in each Frivol is a block pattern to create the "MAKER" sampler quilt. If you buy each Frivol you will have all the directions for the sampler with hints at setting options etc...

The first Frivol is by Bonnie and Camille using their "Hello Darling" line of fabric as shown below and also soon to be available at the shop:

This is the quilt pattern with these fabrics included in your first Frivol! Background fabric and binding is not included- this gives each creator a little creative space to personalize their Frivol quilt.

Limited quantities available! 

You can buy one or buy each one! 

Frivols are fun!
