What's New at CQ 8/2/2022
 Dear Friends, We want to give you a sneak peek at what lies ahead for Capital Quilts! We have committed to FIVE shows (and counting!) between now and April. Some we've not vended at before, others we are glad to return to. We are also working on NEW instructors and classes. Look for a new, comprehensive EQ8 class; more domestic machine quilting classes; and expanded longarming skills. Also in the works: Laura Heine collage quilts, and new bag classes using Kraft-tex, vinyl, and cork. Today, I took Kat with me to a meeting of the Bethesda Quilters, and she gave a presentation of English Paper Piecing. It was nice to do something with a larger group of people. Please let us know if we can do something for your group! We are dedicated to supporting all our local quilters. Happy Sewing! -Marianne |

Slip into a flight of fancy with Kristy Lea and Imagine, from Riley Blake. Populated by vibrant dragonflies and illuminated by rainbow-colored shooting stars, this group of prints in Kristy's unique and definitive color palette is sure to please.  |
From Free Spirit Fabrics, Odile Bailloeul gives us Land Art 2. Woodland animals, swirling waters, fairy circles. rows of feathers and leaves in the wind...this Land Art collection takes up the theme of nature and forest with wonder. Featuring a spice mix of bright, generous colors alongside muffled, nocturnal tones and awakened by a touch of soft pink and turquoise, this collection will speak to the bohemian in you.  |
Alison Glass on her Between collection: may you be happy may you be free may you be peaceful Between is about all of these things. It is about change, acceptance, the present, peace, calm, and a lot of other good and complex words. I hope it can bring a bit of happiness to you and to all of us.  |
