Passports
are now available to purchase for this exciting shop hop
scheduled for October 14 -16. The seven shops are the same as
last year, with all of them having good access from the Ohio
Turnpike for easy driving during the colorful autumn weather.
For the $10.00 purchase price, you will receive your passport to
fun and inspiration, as well as a handy notions caddy. When you
visit each shop during the shop hop, you will receive a free
original pattern for a
total
of seven patterns and the notions caddy, all for only $10.00!
Plus, think of all the fun you will have spending a day with
your best quilting friends. It’s a win-win situation for
everyone! The pattern for the lap-size quilt pictured here will
be Threads of Tradition’s gift to you when you visit us during
the Road Show Shop Hop. Sixty Degrees All Around the Square
was designed by Sharon Moore and makes use of some simple
techniques to create a design that is easier to piece than it
looks. For those of you who decide you want some help piecing
this original quilt, Sharon will be offering a class on this
pattern in February.
Our
2010 Saturday Sampler met for its last regular session in
August. On October 9, at
The
2011 Saturday Sampler will begin on January 8 with
instruction at both 8:00 and 9:00 am. Please pre-register in the
shop or on the online class registration form for the color
options of your choice: red/white/cream, small country prints
with a traditional look, or hand painted designs by Marcia Derse
in all the colors on the color wheel for a more contemporary
look. Take your pick, or choose to make all three! We have not
yet made our final choice on the pattern we will be using since
we are hoping to find something new and very exciting when we go
to Quilt Market in October, but we are looking for fairly
simple, twelve inch blocks that are suitable for beginning
quilters. If you or someone you know is eager for a beginning
quilt making experience, Saturday Sampler is a great way to get
off to a good start.
Our
newest quilt is now feeling very much at home hanging in Threads
of Tradition. The name, Kyoto Gardens sounds oriental,
but our fabrics feel much more traditional in this spinning star
representation. The pattern is taken from Judy Martins new book
Stellar Quilts and it really is a standout design. Kits are
available using the same fabrics that are in the quilt hanging
in our shop, or you can select fat quarters in your own choice
of colors. Either way, Kyoto Gardens is truly a stunning quilt.
Fabric,
the Foundation of It All

Let
your imagination take flight with Flying Colors as you
design quilts with free form shapes and flying geese. Author
Gail Garber teaches you step-by-step techniques to create your
own unique quilt designs, or to make any of the five bonus
projects. Draft shapes such as flying geese, triangles, and
diamonds to fill strips of fabric that weave in and out of your
design. Easy paper-piecing instructions help you make all your
designs more accurate, from landscapes to radiating sunlight to
flowing ribbons.
One
other new item from C&T publishing that seems to have many
possible uses is Silicone Release Paper inspired by
fusible appliqué artist Laura Wasilowski. Use this non-stick
paper to trace, iron on transfer, release and cut out your
appliqué shapes. Also trace and transfer over-sized patterns
with ease since the packet contains ten 8.5” x 11’ sheets and
two 17” x 22” sheets for both small and large patterns in one
convenient package. Other creative uses include using the sheets
as a handy non-stick work surface fro projects using mediums and
adhesives, or protecting delicate art surfaces, as well as your
iron and ironing board. The packet comes with a free project
inside to get you started.
As
any good school teacher knows, you can only pack so much into
one presentation before the recipient’s mind begins to wander. I
think I’ve gone past my limit in this newsletter, so I hope you
have all found something of value and interest in the new
products and opportunities I’ve presented. We look forward to
seeing many of you at the shop hop, classes, or visiting the
shop on a day of your choice this fall. We always love to see
you again and hear about your latest quilting adventures!
