Recently we’ve experienced another flurry of
registrations for our annual fall quilting retreat held at the
Heritage Inn. The retreat is limited to 75 participants and we
already have 50 quilters registered, so if you are hoping to
spend October 1-3 stitching and enjoying that event, please
don’t wait much longer to send in your reservation. For more
information and the link to the registration form visit:
For
the entire month of July, Threads of Tradition, along with the
Gift Shop and General Store, will be offering a Christmas in
July sale. All regular priced Christmas merchandise will be on
sale for 25% off. As quilters we need to plan ahead, so Christmas fabrics arriving
in June and July are perfect for us. Some Christmas groups have
already arrived, with more on the way soon. Moda’s Adoring
includes a darling panel of the three kings with baby Jesus.
Northwoods Botanical is similar in color and print to the
very popular Frosty Memories group last Christmas and could be
used with the books and patterns from that group as well as the
patterns designed for the new fabrics. Fruitcake,
designed by Basic Grey, is a contemporary, fun Christmas group
featuring ornaments, circles, diagonal stripes and other fun
prints. Sparkle All the Way is a bright and fun Christmas
group by Robert Kaufman. We have fat quarter bundles and some
bolts to match.
Other new fabrics include a panel and border print by Rebecca
Barker, Benartex 60” wide batiks that are sun and
fade resistant and would make great cushions for outdoor
furniture, “Brick House" preprinted quilt fabric and
coordinates, and playful Cat Walk fabrics from Spectrix.
We’ve been eagerly sewing new quilt samples and cutting kits so
that you can easily reproduce the look you see at Threads of
Tradition. Our newest quilt is Starlight, Starbright,
based on the Midnight Cowboy fabrics from Maywood. The cowboy
silhouettes combined with lasso, star, horseshoe and striped
fabrics create a stunning twin size quilt perfect for any cowboy
or cowgirl.
Montana Modern fabrics are back in stock and kits are again
prepared to sew the Mountain Lodge sample we have in the
shop. This is a great lap size quilt for anyone who loves nature
and being outdoors.
Kits are also available for the queen size Log Cabin Shuffle
quilt that was in the quilting frame during quilt show. Simple
piecing combined with decorator colors of soft teal, greens,
beige and browns combine into an eye-catching design.
Kyoto Gardens, which was the piecing demonstration at
Quilt Show, will soon be ready to go into the quilting frames.
Kits are already cut for this beauty and the picture gives a
good idea of our colors, except that we chose green for the
border instead of red. If you stop in the shop during July, you
can watch our quilters hand stitch additional texture into this
gorgeous quilt.
Popular young designer Anna Maria Horner has published the
pattern for the Sidewalk Satchel bag. The easy going
style with a modern sweeping curve of this special bag just
might make life feel simple even when it is not.
can be sewn with
or without the Straight Out of Line ruler, but using the
ruler to create the unique four-patch blocks with the illusion
of curves will provide you with the perfect cut every time as
well s the option to choose many different block sizes. This
quilt is a lot of fun to make; just decide on a theme such as brights, batiks, or florals, then divide your mix into lights
and darks and start cutting
squares. Enjoy!
