Products

Song of the Hummingbird  by Tati Abraurre for Mia Presley Designs is a romantic, garden-inspired collection filled with graceful florals, delicate coordinates, and charming hummingbird motifs. A palette of blush pinks, rich purples, soft periwinkle, warm ochre, and deep navy creates a beautifully balanced mix of warmth and depth.

These are friendly beasts you wouldn’t mind encountering on a hike. Our sweet, elusive, Sasquatch friends come in all shapes and sizes! With fun forest prints and mountain ranges, you’ll have plenty of creative options for quilting! Designed by the Morris Creative Group for QT Fabrics.

Vintage charm meets modern flair in Meadow Drift, an enchanting collection by Kate Lower for QT Fabrics. Goldenrod, coral, hushed blue, and soft salmon mingle with deep navy, dusty aqua and chic gray. Dragonflies glide across the garden of prints offering endless possibilities.

This Lil Farmers fabric book panel from QT Fabrics embodies the simple sweetness of little ones and their farmyard friends dilly-dallying around the farm, creating adorable adventures at every turn.

Also from QT is this 36" x 60" panel with pre-printed instructions to make a jumper dress with pockets for a little one in your life. Or, save your completed dress for Project Dress A Girl, coming this fall.

Finally, we have Felicity from In The Beginning Fabrics. These vibrant florals and tonal prints with bright hues are perfect for spring or summer themed projects, or simply use them as blenders for any colorful quilt.

Classes

The bucket hat is back on Wednesday, May 27th! Linda will take you through making a reversible bucket hat. In class you will have the option to cut on your own or use the Accuquilt die. One seat available!

Do you need some dedicated time away from the distractions of your house to complete your projects? Attend the Get it Done session on June 6th! Kat will be here to offer guidance, suggestions, and support.

Help us support our vets by making a Quilt of Valor on June 8th. These quilts are tremendously important to the men and women who serve our country in the military. Seats are available in both morning and afternoon sessions.

Make this wonderfully functional tote—perfect for everyday use! The pattern includes three sizes, so you can choose the one that best fits your needs. Elizabeth will share helpful tips and techniques for working with Soft & Stable and assembling a sturdy, professional-looking tote. A sewing machine with heavy-duty capability and a walking foot is required, as we will be sewing through multiple layers (up to three layers of Soft & Stable and six layers of fabric). Class starts June 14th.

Joan from Bucklebee Tools is coming back this fall to teach her "Happy Feet" sneaker class! Two classes are available: Friday, September 25 or Saturday, September 26. Spend the day making a pair of real sneakers, with quilted uppers and rubber soles. If you’ve been saving a bit of favorite fabric for a special project, Happy Feet sneakers are absolutely special. Your class fee covers your seat in class, instruction, soles, insoles, eyelets, instruction book, and cardstock pattern. Shoelaces will be available to purchase from the instructor.

Joan is once again offering a Sneakers Studio Session on Sunday, September 27. This session will not have any formal instruction, and is intended for those who have already made sneakers, and are looking for time and/or tools to make/finish more.

We have free pillowcase kits available! We donate all pillowcases to Ryan's Case for Smiles, who in turn distributes them to children battling serious illness. Pick one up next time you're in the shop, then complete it and return on your schedule. Alternately, use your stash and any of the Million Pillowcase Project patterns.

We have placemat kits available at the shop; please stop by to pick up one (or two). For those who want to sew from their stash, click on the picture for the beginner-friendly Charm Square Placemats pattern, or you can use your own pattern.

Please return all completed placemats to Capital Quilts.
Thank you for your continued support of the Capital Quilts Cares program. 

We have free small kennel quilts kits available. These little quilts are sent to shelters who take in pets displaced by natural disasters. To quilters, they are a great beginner project, a use for leftover fabric, and a place to practice free motion skills. To use your stash, visit www.kennelquilts.com
