We just put out some new White-On-White fabrics. We love these for backgrounds when you want more texture than just plain white, and P&B's Ramblings line has some of the best designs.  |
|
We have more patterns from Quiltin' Tia! These patterns are easy to understand and work with a wide variety of fabric selections -- many are written for precuts.

Relax on Friday nights with fellow quilters for a virtual quilting bee. Settle into your favorite sewing space with your favorite Zoom-compatible technology for 2 hours of stitching and chatting. Everyone will have a chance to talk about what they’ve been working on and pose questions to the other quilters. On July 7th, the topic will be Favorite Hints and Hacks for Quilting with new moderator and longtime member Karey Herriman.

We like to party on Friday nights, if by party you mean sew. The next Get It Done session will be Friday, July 14th. Reserve your spot, bring your project, and sew in the company of other quilters. We'll have someone on staff here to help you if you get stuck.
