Quilt Aid Europe 2012

Quilt Aid Europe 2012 has now been launched and we are pleased to announce that we are one of only 6 European Quilt Stores taking part.

12 Australian designers have created blocks for you to make and you then can choose one of the Finishing Kits from any of the stores.

The programme originally started in Australia and then the USA and Europe has now joined in.


The way it works is that you can buy 2 blocks from each of the 6 stores spread across Europe.

Then you can choose which of the Finishing Kits you prefer and order those.  The fabrics in each of the kits are 'Ruby' by Moda.


The blocks that we have are from the designers Janet Rowe and Janelle Wind.


 


In addition to the Blocks we have designed our own Finishing Kit. 



If you would like to see all of the Finished Blocks call into the shop or alternatively follow the Quilt Aid Link.

The 6 Stores participating are as follows;

Is it Summer!!!!

The weather in the North East is extremely confusing at the moment. Tomorrow is October and we are basking in warm sunshine.  How long will it last?  I had just changed our window display to Autumn and the sun came out, should have done it sooner.

We have had lots of new things arrived this week, not sure where to start.
The Primo Paid Yarn Dye fabrics are just fantastic.  Perfect as a backing but I will be making a raggy quilt with mine.
One of the Primo Plaid Flannels

Autumn has now arrived


Hi
I have now decided Summer is definitely and Autumn is fast approaching.
It is one of my favourite seasons due to the lovely colours on the trees.  We are so lucky to be close to Chopwell Woods and it is amazing to see the changes on a daily basis.
The Harvest Town Table Runner is ready to be brought out now.  Using the Harvest Town Panel this lovely runner designed by Red Rooster is reversible. The Kit includes all of the fabric for the front and reverse of the runner and could easily be made into 2 runners if you add backing one for you and one for a gift, the
RRP is £39.95 but is is only £35
The Harvest Town fabrics all have 15% off so grab a bargain.


We now have our Longarm Quilting Service up and running.  We welcome Jill who has now joined us at The Fat Quarters and she has  been working all week on some quilts already.  So if you have the quilt top sitting and need it quilting contact us.

Happy Quilting

Kim & the team at The Fat Quarters

 

 

 

Time goes by!

Where does the time go, I come down on a Monday and before I know it is the end of the week, that is the joy of loving what I do.

Last Sunday my first day off in weeks I hit my sewing room and made the 'Merry' Cushion from Nancy Halvorsen's book 'Jingle all the Way'.  I used the Moda fabric  'Countdown to Christmas' and kept to the reds, creams and greens. I have to say I was delighted with the result and so happy to be sewing.
We have the book in store and we have kitted the cushion in the same fabrics that I used. The book is available for £14.95 and the kit, which is pre-cut is available for £15.95.
We are also running this project as a class so check out the dates as there are a few spaces left.

We have just taken delivery of a product called Heat Press.  it fuses wadding pieces together, quickly, easily and with no fuss.  Butt the wadding together and press the tape over the two edges and hey presto you have created a larger piece of wadding.  We all have those odd sizes of wadding that are just not quite the right size and the thought of stitching them together just makes me shudder.
The girls in the sampler class were impressed today and took some home with them.

Have you got your diary for 2012.  Check out the Quilters Diary.  Each page filled with beautiful projects to look at and at the back there are even projects to make.
The RRP is £9.99 but get yours now for only £8.95.  An ideal present for a friend or why not treat yourself.

Tomorrow I am off to the Agricultural Show at Beamish Museum to do a book signing with Debbie Johnson. If you want to see the samples from the Canny Keepsake books Colliery Days and Shopping Days, then pop along for a great day out.
Happy Quilting

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hi
We are now back in the shop and nearly back to normal after attending Festival of Quilts and the Quilt show in Harrogate.
It was great to talk to everyone and meet a lot of our customers who visit us via the website.
As some of you might know we launched the second book in series Canny Keepsakes Shopping Days at the shows.
The book was a follow on to the hugely successful Colliery Days and has been flying off the shelves.
Both books were written by myself and my good friend Debbie Johnson and we are very excited to be attending the International Quilt Festival in Houston next month to launch the book in the USA.

You can still obtain a copy of the book for only £10 RRP is £12.99.
We have had some fabulous items arrived in store whilst I have been at the shows including some lovely stitcheries from Rosalie Quinlan.  They are pre-printed onto linen and include the threads.  My favourite is the Christmas Wreath.
Now I love a gadget in my work room but it has to be a gadget that works.  The Bias Maker is just that.  It makes yards of bias in minutes but my favourite tip is the Quilt Binding tip, which has your binding strips folded and pressed perfectly in minutes. Some people said you can iron it quicker, possibly but I doubt it but what is guaranteed is that it will be perfect, not stretched or distorted if you use the Bias Maker.
Jennie Rayment endorses this gadget and you may see her on Ideal World.  Jennie has been at both the shows and she sent every one to us as a Must Have. The RRP is £89.95 but you can buy one now for only £75.

To keep up to date with the new arrivals keep checking our New In Section. Also keep checking the Class Lists as the 2012 Classes are about to be announced.
Happy Quilting

 

 


 

 

New Arrivals

We have just about recovered from Festival of Quilts, but no rest for the wicked as we are preparing for the quilt show in Harrogate, on the 2nd-4th September.

The show whilst not as large as Birmingham is just as good, with a fabulous display of quilts and lots of traders.  If you are visiting come and see us on Stand 76 & 77.  Bring a copy of the newsletter & receive a 10% discount at the show.

Back in store we have had a number of new deliveries including books and fabrics.  keep checking the NEW section on the website as they are being updated on a regular basis.'Shopping Days' which I wrote with my friend Debbie Johnson is now available and for a limited time of only £10. RRP £12.99.

We now have the full range of the fabrics & velvets used in the book. 

Check out our classes & workshops for the rest of the year, and don't forget to book early for the Christmas Surprise Classes.

Happy Quilting

Festival of Quilts
We have just finished the second day at Festival of Quilts at the NEC Birmingham.
The show is as good as ever and it is just great to meet all of our customers who have travelled from all corners of the UK as well as countries including Mexico, Sweden, Norway, France and spain to name just a few.
We have just released the book 'Shopping days' the second in the Canny keepsake series.
This book is a result of a partnership with my very good friend Debbie Johnson. We had so much fun with 'Colliery Days' that we had to follow it up with another adventure.
Both books are photographed at beamish museum, with the projects inspired by the museum. Florrie & Betty in the second book are visiting the Town, shopping and partaking in afternoon refreshments.
If you are not able to visit Festival remember the shop is still open, and the website staff are working hard to get all of your orders delivered to you.
our next exhibition is at the Great North Quilt Show, Show ground, Harrogate 2nd-4th September.
Happy Quilting.

We are putting the finishing touches to our Quilt Exhibition.  It has been 3 years since our last one, where does the time go?  We are really looking forward to seeing all of those projects that have been made since then.
During the weekend we are launching our 'Pillowcase Challange' in conjunction with the Conkerr Charity which was found in Americia by Cindy Kerr.
Our goal is 100 pillowcases for that weekend, and you never know we may get more, heres hoping.
To make things interesting we are have a competition and the age groups are Under 11yrs, 12-18yrs and Adults.
Even if you are not visiting us at the Exhibition you can still take part.  We are relying on your help, as this will be an ongoing project.
The pillowcases will be distributed to poorly children and their siblings throughout the North East of England.
We have given you the basic instructions below, but feel free to let your imagination run wild.
All pillowcases can be sent to us, please enclose them in a zip lock bag and remember to include your name and address.

 

The Basic Pillowcase Instructions are;

 

  

 

Supplies: 3/4 yard of fabric for pillowcase & 1/3 yard of fabric for border of pillowcase 

 

Sewing Instructions : 
  1.  
    2. Cut the body of the case 26 ½” x 40 ½”and the border 10 ½” x 40 ½” 
  2.  
    3. Fold the border in half lengthwise, with the wrong sides together and press. 
  3.  
    4. Place the right side of the border on the right side of the body of the case. Stitch together using a ½” seam allowance.  
  4.  
    5. Place right sides of the pillowcase together. Stitch down the side and across the bottom. Turn to the right side and press. You are finished however why not design a pillowcase of your own.  It can be whatever you wish but please remember the pillowcases will need to be laundered. 

     

    The Finished size of your Pillowcase is 31” x 20”

     

      
    We have just taken delivery of the latest French General Range from Moda 'La Petite Ecole'.  It is as going as their previous ranges if not better.  The free pattern from Moda we are kitting and the cost of the kit is £49.95, you may have seen this advertised in a lot of the magazines.
    Also for all the Tilda fans we have the full range of her new fabrics buttons and ribbons.  To make it easier to find the New Tilda products we have grouped them together under the Tilda category.
    We have had new patterns from Bunnyhill Designs which complement the Lily & Will range of fabrics as well as some exciting patterns from 'Little Bits'.
    These patterns are all foundation pieced, excellent value as all your papers are included.

    How to buy your Fabric or Wadding

     

    One of the biggest changes we have made is in relation to how we sell our fabrics and waddings.

     

    You are now able to buy fabrics and waddings in 10cm increments, therefore allowing you to only purchase what you actually need. 

     

    If you want a metre of fabric, then select to buy 10 units of 10cms or if you need 40cms you need only buy 4 units of 10cms.

     

     

    For any fabric ordered off of the same bolt, we will usually send orders like this out as one whole peice, unless it has been requested by the customer that the fabric is to be pre-cut by us.

     

    We are continually updating the products on the site but if there is anything you require and you cannot find, please contact us immediately.

     

    Check out our new Block of the Months programmes.

It is looking set to have a fundraising total of more than £1000. It's a great cause and thanks again to everyone for their help!

    Hi 

       

    Can you believe where the year has gone?  Summer has now officially ended and we have changed our window display to Autumn.   

       

    I love this time of year with the colours of the leaves changing on a daily basis, providing me with lots of inspiration for a new quilt project.
