New Precuts in at the Quilting Frame!

Hello All:

Well....we are two days away from our last hurrah of Summer.....it seems like this summer passed in the blink of an eye....however, with the extremely hot weather we have had of late, I am sincerely looking forward to the Fall.....

We received our new precuts in last weekend....Autumn Lily from Blackbird Designs.  This line is a beautiful floral for which Blackbird Design is known so well in muted reds, old rose, sage greens, soft French country blues, milk chocolate and creams....gorgeous to the last piece!  We are working on a display piece for the shop.....maybe over this long Holiday weekend we can get it finished.



Also, we have received the bolts in for the Lexington Line by Minck & Simpson....




The top one is a beautiful paisley and floral print on a cream background.  The second is a blue diamond on a medium tan background and we also chose  a simple light cream background with medium blue stars.

We have marked a few bolts and precuts from Moda down 20% to make room for the other precuts we have coming in over the next 6-8 weeks....we have two layer cakes and three charm packs of the Soho Chic line by Sandy Gervais as well as two bolts which are also marked down 20% off....



This is a "Dancing Umbrella" quilt made out of the Soho Chic line using Layer Cakes and Yardage.

 

We also have two layer cakes left of the line by Holly Taylor called "Wish You Were Here"...
 
 


 
This is a gorgeous line of fall colored fabrics in burgundy reds, deep green, browns, tans and creams....these are also marked off 20%.
 
Alright, I wanted everyone to see the new line we have in called "Sewing Box" by Gina Martin for Moda....if you have friends who are also sewing or quilting enthusiasts, then this is the fabric for you...bright, colorful, cheerful....I have made a small lap quilt using one layer cake and some purple texture for border fabric.  The pattern is called Dessert Time....




This fabric is so cute with all things sewing related....it would make cute bags, quilts, curtains, pin cushions, sewing machine covers....the perfect fabric to make that special sewing friend something wonderful (or you can always make it just for yourself...we won't tell....).

Well, that's all for this update on what's new down at the Quilting Frame....please stop by and see us this weekend if you are out our way....also, be on the lookout on the blog for news regarding upcoming classes as well as.....perhaps....our Fall Sale (I do love that four letter word)!

Everyone have a safe and fun Labor Day Holiday and we hope to see you soon!

Lexington by Minck & Simpson in at the Quilting Frame

Morning All:

I know I have said this before, but it seems the older I get the shorter my weekends seem to be.....

I wanted to show everyone some samples we have been working on down at the shop made from our newest precuts, "Lexington" by Minck & Simpson.  This is a beautiful line of fabrics in tones of blues, creams, and tans.  We have layer cakes and charm squares available at the shop right now...we sold all the jelly rolls, but have placed an order for more and are hoping we will get these in as well.  In addition, we have ordered three bolts of coordinating fabric to go with this line which we hope will be in shortly....as soon as the bolts get in we can put final borders on these three sample pieces.  The pattern is one from Quilt In A Day called "Twice as Nice"....all three of these were made from one Jelly Roll (and I had three strips left over). 




Also, we have the precuts for a line by Gina Martin and Moda called "Sewing Box"....anyone of us who has a friend who sews or quilts, this is the perfect line from which to make them that cute Christmas or Birthday gift....sewing notions of all descriptions in fun colors of purple, blue, orange, yellow, creams.....

We are also awaiting the arrival of a line  of precuts by Blackbird Design and Moda called Autumn Lily.....this is a gorgeous line of fabrics in dusky shades of reds, pinks, sage greens, dusk blue and cappuccino browns.  I will let everyone know the minute it arrives.

I sincerely hope you all have a great week, and look forward to seeing you down at the shop!
