And now we can show you...

Amanda made this quilt for her dearly beloved's birthday.

It's the "Argyle" quilt from the book Kaleidoscope by Melly and Me.

Amanda blended fresh and masculine fabrics together - and it looks fantastic.

You can talk to Amanda in store every Saturday. Our new weekend staff are great fun, and very helpful.

Baltimore Album ca 1847 fabric

Do you love the look of Baltimore Album quilts, and want to create your own?Or perhaps you would like to use the "cheater" prints in this fabric range to create an authentic looking reproduction without hours of appliqueing??You could easily piece blocks then use the flower designs as borders or feature fabrics. (Can you tell the original quilt was photographed to provide the fabric design?? The "fake applique" is quite realistic.)The ombre fabrics in this range (those are the ones that vary from light to dark across the bolt) are seriously accurate reproductions. Especially, for the Prussian blue print - the original Prussian blue fabrics were not colourfast. They looked fantastic, until they were washed. The ancient dyeing techniques cannot be replicated for safety reasons, so we cannot duplicate the bright blue that they obtained in the 1840s. However, our blues are colourfast, and more modern techniques are developed each year. I believe we are reaping the benefits in this fabric range.
Also available in fat quarter packs.

Brenda's pieces

Brenda makes what she wants to make.

She collects fabrics she likes and combines them with beautiful coloured threads (she especially likes the Signature variegated threads).

This quilt weighs quite a lot - it is heavily embellished with decorative machine stitching.

Thanks for showing us your work Brenda - we are all inspired.

Folk Art Village fabrics

Folk Art Village fabrics are now in store.

These prints would be perfect to separate rows of blocks in a strippy-quilt formation.

And I don't need to say what great borders they would make do I???

Get in fast - they are walking out the door - and why wouldn't they?

Betty's show and tell

Betty made this quilt for a wedding present. "I hope they like it" she said.

Of course they will like it Betty! You made it for them, and it's infused with love. You wouldn't give a quilt gift to someone that wouldn't appreciate it. I know.

We love to see your show and tell - it's wonderful to see the fabrics transform from the shelves into draping quilts. Ah, I think I need to go and sew. :)

Sharyn's quilt

Sharyn whips up quilts like she is in a frenzy! I wonder how many she had made!!

Those are her feet sticking out at the bottom of the quilt. :)

This is made using the techniques Sharyn learnt in our 12 fat quarter quilt class.

See our class list for more details. Thank you for show and tell!!
