Quilt Sample Sale!

Seeew...

Jan is cleaning out our remaining quilt and small project samples. Her prices are incredible for quality custom quilted work. A completely finished quilt for $500 that measures 72" x 72" is an incredible buy! Without a doubt, Jan is fantastic at color placement and fabric selection! A talent that is needed as a quilt shop owner! Seeew I'm giving a shout out to my mom because I know what she has to go through to keep you inspired. That's a blog post for another time. Maybe I'll even start a personal blog to share the tales one of these days!

If you don't have time to sew, or the idea of it just exhausts you, her sample sale is available here! Great prices so check them out below! ~ Brian

Here's The Next Quilt Kit You're Going to Be Happy Making!

Seeew...

There are only 10 kits available to Pre-Order. Kits will ship in 2-3 weeks depending on number of orders. All of the details for the pre-order can be found here. As I shared in the last post, if you don't order things when we advertise them, or within like a week or two, there's a chance it won't be available anymore. I'm not kidding. I get so many people coming to my blog from Pinterest and they are looking at OLD items from years ago and wanting us to produce it. Sorry. This industry is so unpredictable it's impossible to know what people are going to want years later and we just can't sit on inventoy.  For a quilt like this the "Mothership" only makes kits with exact fabrics as shown. Fabric coordination is key.  So you must pre-order. Click the link I provided above for all of the details!

Hen House Pillow Kit

Seeew...

Time escaped me and then the "Mothership" sent me this "work in progress" of her version of the Hen House Pillow. She still has to stitch it down, but she wanted me to have this image to share with you. In fact, she's cutting more kits as I type as this has been very popular. You can find the kit here on her website.UPDATE: SOLD OUT. I tell you all to get on her mailing list so you don't miss out!

Seeew Here's What's New This Week!

Seeew...

This week the "Mothership" received this stunning new collection from Moda's Primitive Gatherings. It's called Indigo Gatherings and it's perfect for a crisp, traditional blue and white quilt! Timeless and classic, you just can't go wrong with this color combination. The collection is available to order here on our website while it lasts. For a limited time, order either a Fat Quarter Bundle or 1/2yd Bundle and receive the special listed price.

I was able to receive just three (3) more kits for this stunning reproduction quilt. My Lady's Scrap Basket Quilt Kit includes ample fabric to create the quilt top, binding and backing. I have applied a special price until they are gone so make sure you grab yours now. If you are familiar with how much a complete kit costs which includes backing, this is an excellent price! Here's the backing included with this kit...

True story: When we had our brick-and-mortar store, a lady came in wanting to build a quilt she saw at another shop with our fabrics. She mentioned they had a kit but felt the store wanted too much money for their kit of this particular quilt. We happened to have the same fabrics so she began pulling and we began cutting. By the time she finished at the cash register, all of those fabrics...cost about $4 or $5 more than the kit she saw at this other shop.

My point is...for the amount of work and time it takes to put together kits for your convenience, they are always priced very reasonably. I don't know of too many shops that are over-pricing their kits.

Of course, when there's a special price, that makes it even better!

An update on our upcoming BOM for the Derby House Block of The Month featuring Minick & Simpson's Mackinac Island. The fabrics are beginning to arrive and the "Mothership" will begin the long task of cutting and packaging blocks. This program is now FULL so no one will be added at this point. It's a lot to keep track of and now that I am not working alongside her, she will have her hands full. Thank you to everyone who signed up timely. That helps a ton!

Last but not least for today, the Mothership is holding a Vintage Fig Tree Fabric De-Stash Event on our website under "Fabrics." Once they are gone...they are GONE. Please do not use PayPal to order these fabrics. It's credit card only on these items. I've explained all of it in our post on Instagram.

That's it for tonight. Make sure you grab what you like as soon as you can! We move it out to bring more new and there's much, much, much more to cover as soon as I get another moment to sit down!

Memoirs Sweet Sampler Quilt KIt

Seeew...

There's a brand new quilt kit on our website today! It's called the Memoirs Sweet Sampler Quilt and it's already quite the hit! The fabrics are from Moda's new Memoirs collection by that popular trio, 3 Sisters! The warm golds, rusts, grays and indigo combine to create a fabulous traditional quilt that is warm and inviting.  The kits are selling quickly seeew don't wait!

Everything you need is included...yes, even the backing! The backing is this stunning Indigo tonal pictured above. When we had our brick-and-mortar I can't tell you the number of times someone waited to get their backing. The collection was either sold out or they just couldn't find one that worked. Why put yourself through that misery? Get your backings with your quilt kits and be done with it. We all know it ends up in our closets and we don't get to work on them for at least two years. Plus...the "Mothership" has a fabulous price while it's on sale seeew grab yours here! Only a handful left!

You know...I couldn't help but notice how these gorgeous hand-dyed wool bundles pick up some of the colors in the quilt! I'm always thinking in terms of "themes" when it comes to decorating. I'm sure there has to be some adorable wool accent projects to make with these. And why not? All wool bundles are 25% off until gone! The "Mothership" shared awhile back that going forward wool will only be available from her in B.O.M's or as part of a kit. Seeew stock up here! The price is fabulous!

That's all I have for you tonight. Let me know what you think in the comments below! Do you love the Memoirs Quilt? I certainly do! Reader feedback is super important so leave me comments letting me know what you'd like to hear more about as we go forward.

Gingham Garden & Lollipop Garden

 
Seeew...

Real quick before I venture off to bed...I was packing my lunch for tomorrow and happened to have a jar of Strawberry Jam. It reminded me that I wanted to share with you this beautiful quilt kit for the adorable Gingham Garden Quilt. Guess what? There are just two left! The fabric collection came out earlier this year and it's mostly sold out from Moda.   I know everyone is into Christmas quilts in December...but are you really going to get it finished in time at this point? Why not get started on Spring/Summer??? This complete quilt kit includes pattern, ample fabric for the top, binding AND backing!

We've had many questions about, "Is it applique?" The answer is, nope...it's traditionally pieced. Others were worried about those adorable patchwork columns but they too are simple piecing.

The "Mothership" loves this one seeew much she even made up a sample. I love how her bar stool and ladder compliment this one seeew well! A great creative space indeed! 

Lollipop Garden is also starting to dwindle and there's not a whole lot left! Lollipop Garden Pre-Cuts can be found here.

Jelly Rolls seem to still be the #1 pre-cut that our customers are challenged with. Even though there are endless amounts of patterns and books celebrating this exciting pre-cut, people still seem to struggle with finding a pattern that uses 2-1/2" strips. Here are two of our brand new favorite books that both work with the Moda Jelly Roll!

I only share books that have more than 5 patterns that are amazing! Both of these books will help you reduce your Jelly Roll stash! They are after all, meant to be used! I personally love a well coordinated quilt and I find that Moda pre-cuts help overcome the hurdle of fabric selection. If I'm going to invest my time in something or as a gift to someone, I want to make sure it looks good! You'll find both of these books here.

This sweet Table Runner was one of our featured Breakfast Club projects. Remember what I said earlier about how everyone is into Christmas projects right now? You know they aren't going to get them done before Christmas...seeew why not begin on creating something happy and cheerful for the upcoming Spring? This Lollipop Garden Table Runner Kit includes all fabrics (top, binding AND backing) to make this happy little project. Click here to order! 

OK...I'm off to bed, I have to be up at 4am! I'll see what I have for you in the upcoming days! Word on the street is the Mothership will be sending me a box soon! Always fun to get a box, right?
