Spring Quilt Market - Pittsburgh

How exciting! I flew into Pittsburgh today for QUILT MARKET to find the latest and greatest and bring it back to the Quilt Barn! :-) Tomorrow, I put on my walking shoes and cover acres and acres of vendors showing their new fabric lines, patterns, notions, and more. Check back Saturday for a photo slide show of my favorite finds and updates on what will be coming to our store!

Kits for the Carmen Tote are available

Our cute Carmen Tote has been so popular, we have made a kit for your convenience! The kit includes the pattern and all the materials, fleece, D-rings, and interfacing you need to make the tote as pictured here. All you need is brown thread! The kit is $38 and can be purchased on our website or in the store.

Having fun with Moda's "Wonderland" fabric

I am absolutely in love with two of Moda's new fabric lines - Wonderland and Arcadia. They are just delicious! I've been playing with Wonderland's reds and browns to create this fantastic "Carmen" tote and an adorable "Girly Skirt". With a couple of prints coming in a heavier twill, it is just perfect for bags and totes!

Moda's new Arcadia line is loaded with the hottest shades of brown, blue, orange, and green. You just have to come in to the store to drool over it for yourself! We have a fabulous Arcadian Garden quilt kit for just $49 - and the best part is, you can complete it in an afternoon! View all of Moda's fabric lines at http://www.unitednotions.com/ - Fabrics, What's New, and view the swatches.
