Accuquilt GO! Fabric Cutter

We have the new
Accuquilt GO!
Fabric cutter available.

What a great little machine. It is great for on the go quilt retreats, guild meetings, sew-ins or scrapbooking. There are dies for quilt blocks, strip cutters and appliqué' pieces. You can cut out the pieces for your blocks, add some appliqué, and use the strip cutters to cut out your borders and binding. So easy and quick! Each die has a free pattern included with it.

What a great Christmas Present!

FALL IS HERE

We have some great new fabrics to celebrate the warm and cozy colors of the season. Gobble Gobble has pumpkins and a rich palette of browns, golds, greens, oranges and reds.

For a more tonal grouping we have Pumpkins and Spice. The colors are more muted and Whimsical with cats, sunflowers and pumpkins in softer tones.

We also have a new collection called Evening Mist. This is one of the most beautiful collections I have ever seen. I just love looking at all of them and seeing the different color combinations that can be pulled together. The colors are subtle but compliment each other without overpowering. These fabrics will be great for blended quilts or that Blooming Nine Patch we all want to make at least once.

Look for specials on pattern, books, fat quarters and kits to be included.

YEAH!
MY BLOG IS FINALLY
WORKING AGAIN!!

*********************************************************

It has been a while since I have shared anything on my blog. We have been busy with lots of quilt shows in the last several months. We have one more show left for this year. We will be at the Fort Worth Texas quilt show "Log Cabin - Timeless Treasures" on September 18-20. If you are in the area come and visit our booth at the show.

*********************************************************

We have made so many new friends at all the shows. One special friend is Pattie Stevens. Pattie owns "The Quilting House" in Breckenridge Texas. She has been so much help and has been such an encourager to us in our first year of business. We have visited Pattie and her husband Steve on several occasions. If you are ever in the Breckenridge Texas area you must stop by and see them. The quilt shop is in their home. They have a beautiful older home where they live upstairs and the quilt shop is in the downstairs area. The house itself is just fabulous with all of the original woodworking around the doors and the fantastic staircase.

They are both really creative people. Patti of course does her beautiful quilt construction and hand turned needle appliqué. She has been long arm quilting professionally for the public for about 5 years. She did the quilting on the Best of Show quilt in the Abilene Quilt Show this year. Steven is also blessed with a creative side. He makes his own guitars from fantastic exotic woods. They are entirely hand made and each one is a unique design he has created. He also does bamboo fly rods, he's made several pieces of furniture in their home including their 4 poster bed and several other wood projects. The creativity between the both of them is just a totally humbling experience for me.

Patti is now a dealer for Handi Quilter. We recently sold our long arm machine and switched to the HQ Sixteen from them. It takes up less space and is a real gem. They came out yesterday and got us set up. We finished our first quilt on it today. A lot of people I talk to or have read about name their machines so we have christened her "Hanna" the Handi Quilter. It is truly a great machine.

They are affordable and adjustable to your space. We have ours set up at 8 feet. Perfect for my ever shrinking space. If you are thinking about a long arm check out Handi Quilter.

You can get in touch with Patti at http://www.thequiltinghouse.com and she will be glad to answer any questions you have or invite you out to try the machine yourself. When I get a picture of Hannah I will post it for you along with one of our quilts.
