New Fabric Online
Centennial Solids from Marcus Brothers Fabrics Solids have made a real comeback in the quilting world. Amish with a Twist pictured above was created entirely from Centennial Solids by Marcus Brothers (we have Amish with a Twist available as a Block of the Month Program as well as full kits). We now have these fabrics online too.
Featured KitsWe have three brand new kits - with three very different looks to offer you this week.
This beautiful quilt is quick, easy, and fun to make because it uses 2½" pre-cut strips. We are offering kits in two sizes for your convenience. The Throw size kit allows you to make either a Throw or Lap Quilt .... or buy the King size kit which allows you to make King or Queen size! Pick your favorite!
We have a limited number of Generals Wives Full Kits that include all the fabrics to make your quilt top and binding plus the full pattern set. Last week we featured many of the fabrics used in this quilt too, you can click on the image on the left to view available fabrics.
A Tisket, A Tasket was originally designed as a block of the month program but is now available as a full kit. Don't let the yellow color in the image above deter you from getting this kit, it is really the soft yellow pictured on the right above.
Featured Notion - Deb Tucker's Wing Clipper
Wing Clipper by Deb Tucker of Studio 180 Designs A must have tool if you are making Flying Geese units for your quilt. This tool, and the associated Fast Flying Geese construction technique, allow you to make four finished units from five squares. The best part is that each unit is constructed slightly oversized so each can be trimmed to a perfect size with perfect seam placement once the sewing and pressing are complete by using the Wing Clipper tool. Every single unit will be exactly right every time. Now who ever thought that would happen with Flying Geese units?!?!
