Happy June! May was just a whirlwind that included a bad sinus infection, quilt market, and a long Memorial weekend in Red Lodge. Now here it is June! Quilt Market was very inspiring. We saw so many pretty fabrics and quilts. All the designers we talked to were so nice! I loved all the wool booths and Sarina loved all the bright fabric booths! We had a fun evening shopping at the EE Schenk warehouse open house. We will have some great fabrics coming in late summer/early fall. Sarina has been busy checking in lots of fabric from spring lines. We have new batiks, Christmas, textured wovens, and many others. We hope you can get inspired by the new fabrics also! Have a creative summer! Happy Quilting, Pam
Row by Row Experience- Sew Musical
The inspiration for our "Clair de Loon" block comes from Claude Debussy's "Clair de Lune" which is French for "light of the moon". Seeley Lake is home to loons who nest there every year. How lucky are we to catch a glimpse of them and hear their beautiful song! Row by Row Experience begins
June 21st. Be sure to go to the Row by Row Experience website to read the rules for participation.
We are still waiting for our 2018 fabric plate to arrive!
New at DCQ!
Need a little color in your stash? "Color Cuts" from Moda are a perfect way to add that color. There are 72 prints and 6 color ways that consist of 5" strips, 10" squares and fat quarter rolls. It is an easy way to fill in colors for your stash. We will be making the quilt kit for our 2nd Saturday BOM starting in Sept. The kit includes a mini companion ruler and the cupcake recipe cards for making the triangles. I will break it up into 12 month sections.
"Swell Christmas" by Urban Chicks for Moda is a charming vintage Christmas line. This is my Santa, the Santa of my childhood with a round face and rosy cheeks and waving at me! I'm not saying I'm vintage though, just Santa! We have the whole line of fabrics, a set of 3 tins, a set of 4 towels packaged for gift giving, and a kit to make a log cabin quilt. The Santa is cut from a panel and appliqued on. He is only available in the kit!
