Fall Quilt Market 2009 Houston Texas

Just back from Fall Quilt Market, Houston Texas. It was a fantastic show, with great fabrics, patterns & inspiration everywhere! I can not wait to to show you all ..what is new! The very nice surprise was meeting up with Mary Jane Butters from Mary Jane's Farm Magazine, a favorite at The Village Quilter. She introduced her very first fabric line through Andover Fabrics!

Also, lots of wonderful Japanese taupe fabrics from several fabric companies. I love these fabrics, as they envoke a certain element of calm & tranquility. We currently have a MODA line called Evening Mist that I invite you to explore. We are currently working on a shop sample & I can see it in a great winter handbag.

Let me know what your thoughts!

The Moorestown T-Shirt Quilt

Moorestown Mall T-Shirt Quilt Dedication

The Moorestown Area Quilters worked all spring & summer in piecing together a Moorestown T-Shirt Quilt that will hang permanently in the Moorestown Mall. The dedication ceremony was this past Saturday Sept 26 & was highlighted with Meg Cox as the guest speaker. Pretty cool thing to happen in a mall!

A Busy Weekend!

Well we had a wonderful, busy weekend at the shop. We had a guest teacher Aunt Phyllis from Aunt Phyllies Toothbrush Rugs in from Denver to teach five (5) full classes on how to make her oval toothbrush rugs! She arrived Thursday evening with her puppy Abigail in tow who made friends quickly with all the students & shoppers & was eventually given free rein of the shop.

New Fabrics from Timeless Treasures

Take a look at this fun group of fabrics that arrived today at the shop! There is something about indigo blue that just is just full of energy. My daughter Kate just painted her room Midnight Blue and yes I was mortified, but it actually came out quite nice! Very dramatic! These fabrics could really add a splash of excitement. Perhaps I'll test those waters with a pillowcase! If you know what I mean. Check out Timeless Treasures website for a free quilt pattern using Indigo.

Yet Another Hip To Be Square Quilt!

Well, we just finished up yet another shop sample using the

beautiful Neptune Collection by MODA.

This one is the Hip to Be Square pattern that is really a fun quilt to make. 12 fabrics- 1/2 yard cuts of 11 & 1 yard of your favorite. I love how the blues & greens all get showcased in each of the blocks. And when Rosemary added her sea shell quilting design ...wow ... the finishing touch!

Got Kits? Absolutely!

PS: Notice that our Trumpet Vine is in full bloom along the fence! If only it would bloom at the porch!
