Fruit Cake by Basic Grey for Moda
Holiday Cheers from Hoffman
Christmas Greetings from Makower
I stitched the last seam on the Desert Nine-Patch today and have decided that this quilt is my favourite of all the quilts I’ve worked on. Such a simple pattern, but what an elegant summer quilt. We still have kits available, a perfect summer project.
Here’s a little quilt that Suzi finished this week. It’s called “Peekaboo Monkeys” from the book Quilting for Baby from House of White Birches. So cute!
We spent yesterday with Linda our Trend-Tex rep ordering fabric for the fall. It was impossible to choose from all these gorgeous Hoffman batiks!
The batik shelves are overflowing due to the arrival of the Tonga Batiks earlier this week. This got me thinking that it was about time to reorganize the shop. Several hours of moving bolts and shuffling fat quarters later, I’m really happy with the way it looks! I found lots of ‘skinny bolts’ so we’ve decided to have start a Skinny Bolt Sale section. When you purchase these fabrics, you will get 15% on a 0.5 m minimum cut or 20% off when you finish the bolt. There are lots of great fabrics here! Also, don’t forget to check out the Clearance Crib for fabrics reduced by 40%. Clearance patterns are 3 for $15!
Diane dropped in on the week-end with her finished quilt. It’s a beauty! The pattern is “Under Construction” from The Country Quilter.
If you’re a chocolate lover you are going to love our 2010 Paint Can Challenge quilts.The theme this year was chocolate and it’s clear that the creators of these creative and yummy quilts all enjoy a taste of it from time to time. We invite everyone to drop by and vote for your favourite quilt. The quilts will be on display in the shop from Saturday May 29th until June 26th. Winners will be selected by viewer’s choice and will receive prizes of Quilter’s Palette Mad Money worth $200, $100 and $50 for 1st 2nd and 3rd places! Here’s a sneak peek at a couple of the quilts.
We’ve been waiting for this cute fabric line since November, but it was worth the wait. Frolic by Wendy Slotboom from In The Beginning Fabrics is an irresistible collection of squirrels, raccoons, owls, and birds on pale blue, pink or green backgrounds. It would make the most adorable baby quilt.
We’re looking forward to seeing some great quilts next Wednesday at our annual Show and Tell Evening. This is a get together for those who have taken a class here at The Quilter’s Palette during the last two years. Don’t forget to RSVP! Did we miss sending you an invitation? If you think you’d like to attend, give us a call at 416-916-0398 and we’ll give you the details!
More fun and funky fabrics! These are from the ‘Bird Talk’ collection by Ellen Crimi-Trent for Clothworks.
Lots of new basics from South Seas and Wilmington prints have arrived!
