Our installation is complete and the new computerized quilting is running on our HQ Sixteen! We installed the software and hardware in a few hours yesterday, and had a quilt top completed this morning using repeated block designs. It's very slick.
Yum! Fabric that looks good enough to eat. Or, maybe to eat off of? The new Party Time collection from Makower would make sweet runners and placemats for any celebration. Cupcakes, petit fours, hot chocolate and strawberries. Plus dots and little cherries!
New Reproduction Fabrics Begin Arriving!One of our core strategies in 2008 is to build and maintain a bigger department of reproduction fabrics. At International Quilt Market, we began by ordering 50 bolts from Windham's various collections due out between now and Spring - including Williamsburg and the Mark Twain collection due in March. Today's delivery included 13 bolts of Dargate Lavender & Mint, c. 1830. Margo Krager has designed this beautiful reproduction collection in a palette that maintains the integrity of both pattern and color of the original designs first printed 175 years ago.
More fabric arrived today!This shipment was from Westminster Fibers and included Carla Miller's Shine collection in red plus her scripts in every color. Kaffe Fasset's new book, Quilts In the Sun, is here, too. We're anxiously awaiting his new fabric - due to hit before the end of the year.
