Quilters Patch

A Notion MUST Have!

The Bendable Light….if you have trouble seeing or just prefer better lighting when you are sewing, this is for you.  There is no magnatized attachment for computerized sewing machines.  And there is an attachment that will let you switch your light between machines!  How cool is this?  The light is a little pricey, but well worth it’s weight in gold!

$ 49.95….order  your’s today.  We have a few left in stock and hopefully when we reorder the light will not be back ordered.

Some have stopped by or called asking for the book we previewed already.  Forgot to mention that this book is high in demand already and it will be delivered in June.  You may choose to go to www.martingale.com and preview this wonderful book.  Again, call or stop and reserve a copy for you.

Happy Stitching!

The gals from Me and My Sister Designs have created a host of quilts using 5 and 10 inch squares that can be made up in a matter of hours.  These are soft, happy quilts that are meant to be used every day.  Throw them in the washer & dryer, take them on picnics, even let the dogs & cats sleep on them.  These quilts are meant to be used and loved!  After all, how can we pass on our love of quilts to our families if we never let them USE them.

This is the best scrap quilt in a long time.  You will refer to this book time after time especially when you are asked to make a quilt in 24 hours or less…smile. 

Books are arriving soon.   You may either stop by, call on our Toll FREE number, 1-866-578-0380, or order on our secure website: www.quilterspatch.com!  These are sure to fly out the door so be sure and order early.

Being back from Market has kept us busy.  All new fabrics, books, and patterns arriving daily.  At Spring Market we found this wonderful artist that makes Notecards.  They are really nice and the best thing is the price!  Eight notecards in a package or boxed are only $5.50.  Today if you need a card for someone you pay $2.-$5. for just one.  What a great buy!  These will be great to give anyone at anytime with your homemade item.

Rather than tell you all at once about everything from Market, we will choose and pick to blog about.  Hope you are enjoying our blog and be sure to tell your friends about it and our newsletter.

Happy Sewing whatever Stitch you may take today!

Sherry and Karen

We are away in Pittsburgh, PA.  Spring Quilt Market has just closed and we are pooped little pups.  The new fabrics are bright to soft pastels….new designs….new books with new idea’s…..patterns that are still using jelly rolls and charm packs and more…..new block of the months including Robyn Pandolph’s new “Bespoke Blooms”  in soft pastels.  The fabrics are lucious and feel sooooo good.  This will start in September.  You won’t want missing doing this one.

New fabric lines that will be coming are Pumpkin and Spice, Pokey Little Puppy, Luna, French General-Rouinneres, New Baby and Young Children’s fabrics for quilts and clothing.  Hand embroidery patterns were very popular and we love embroidery.  It is so popular because it is a project that  you can pick up and take with you anywhere and it is fun.

We are taking a few days off while we visit Pennsylvania as this is where Karen grew up.  She is going to show me around and we shall relax before we return hitting the ground and sewing up all the new samples for you, the customer, to see…..smile.  (We do remember that we need to include pics on the blog and we are working on that.)  Wait until you see who we had our picture taken with while we were at Market……you wi

We are almost packed and ready to get on the airplane flying

to Spring Market being held in Pittsburgh, PA., this year.

New Ideas!  New Designs!  New Fabrics!  New Techniques

and New Tools!  New Patterns!  (Oops..did we say patterns?)

Surely we do not have enough…heehee.

We do have a lot of new things already in the shop. 

Nancy Halverson, of Art to Heart, has a new Christmas Book,

“I Believe” is here.  Fat Quarters are also available. 

Crabapple Hand Embroidery New Patterns have also arrived.

Then there is the CUTEST Little Trick or Treat fabric designed

by Sherri Berry.  It is so cute….you MUST come and see it.

When we return from Market, we will be more proficient at

inserting pictures on the blog.  (May need to take a quick

class on that…smile.)

Will try and keep you all informed and updated on the blog

while we are away.

Happy Saturday!

If you are leaving hints today around the house for Mother’s Day, one

might suggest a Gift Card from Quilters Patch!  Remember, we are

only open until 2:00 p.m. on Saturdays.  If your loved one misses

the 2:00 p.m. deadline, tell them they can order on our secure

website.  We’ll make sure it goes on record.

We are setting up classes to start right after we return from Market.

Stay tuned!

Have a good day and Happy Stitching!

Friday…..Yipee…Woo Hoo….for all our Friday work people. 

Makes one look forward to the weekend of doing nothing but

sewing.  Big Smile!  Whoa…..if one is hungry then one will

need food…darn…have to cook….maybe straighten a little,

and oops….there goes that darm dust bunny hopping from

place to place…..still one can sneak in a bit of sewing.  It is

already getting almost to warm to be outside.

Did we mention that our Accuquilt Go products are here? 

We will be off to Market this next Thursday and not sure

we will have the opportunity to try them out, but we will

stop by their booth and try it all out.

Lots of  Beautiful fabrics Yelling….Summertime…reds, blue,

oranges, shocking pinks and purple’s, and for the more

subdued customer a few medium to darker fabrics.  New

books and patterns that are already available to us are also

starting to arrive.  Check out the wesbite or come on in.

Watch out for the wind today….it’s another windy day!

Hooray! Our UPS man, Mr. Jeff, delivered
315.2 lbs. of inventory today! How many boxes? Too many for the dipsy dumster to hold. Fabric, you ask? No, but we are excited to let everyone know that we are now OFFICIALLY Accuquilt Dealers!

Three of the New Accuquilt To Go Cutters are already sold. Yoo Hoo! These are the next best thing to the rotary cutter. No more sharp blades to worry about and no more carpel tunnel wrists to be concerned with. If you are not familiar with this product, you may Google www.accuquilt.com and watch the Video.

Next thing anyone will come out will the robot to sew at your machine…haha.

Have a good day and Happy Stitching!

We are busily getting ready to go off to Spring Market, which will be held in Pittsburgh, PA., this year.  Spring Market is always so refreshing and such a fun trip.  Business is business, but one good thing is that Spring Market is always somewhere different in the U.S. and we get to visit different Quilt Shops in those areas.  So much fun to see how we all diversify our shops.  Fall Market is held each year in Houston and that never changes. 

Our travels have taken us to NJ, OR, MN, MO, and PA.  Sure we are missing a state in there somewhere, but today is the day off day and don’t want to tax those brains too much….smile.

Our Accu Quilt To Go machine’s are due in on Tuesday by an 18-Wheeler.  Now there will be a site to be had.  Stay tuned for that pic.

Have a good day whatever you do and Happy Stitching!
