Shop Hop!

As I said in an earlier post, we are participating in the Greater Houston Area Shop Hop later this month (March 26-29). 

There is a quilt at the center of this hop seen below:

Each participating shop will sell a part of the quilt kit. You will need to travel to all the shops to buy all the parts for the quilt- doing so however puts you in the running for some big prizes!

Here are some close ups to tempt you:

 Its a sampler quilt featuring Moda Wildflower fabrics sprinkled throughout and lovely tone on tones from Northcott's Toscana color wall.

Simple to traditionally piece! 

 We hope it is a big hit on the hop!

You can also purchase finishing kits which add borders to this beauty or you can quilt it and bind it as we have.

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!
