Not your Grandmother's Cathedral Window

If you haven't been in the store to see this "old" quilt, you just gotta feel it to convince yourself that it didn't come from Grandma's attic. Cotton Way has made cathedral windows history! This rough edge - quilt as you go - method wrinkles and frays when it's washed to look like an old heirloom quilt. This quilt was made with Moda's brand new Simple Abundance line by Bonnie and Camille. For more adorable projects to make with this line, visit www.modabakeshop.com, or come into to store and grab a ready-to-sew kit for your holiday gift giving this year! This kit is available in the store and online. The complete kit includes top, pattern, batting, and backing for $55. The quilt finishes at 44" square - perfect for a table topper or baby quilt!

Quick & Easy Baby Gift

What can you do with 6 fat quarters in a couple of hours? We put together some $15 fat quarter packs that will make this cute little baby blanket in no time at all. So, next time you need a quick and easy baby gift, we've got your back!

School Spirit


We have been getting ready for Halloween! Jenele has been busy making pillowcases for her cute grandkids! Come on in to see our great selection of kits and projects for the Fall Season. From pillowcases and bags to quilts and table runners, there is something for everyone!
Show your school spirit with a team quilt! Classes will be held in October to make your own throw for those chilly football games. What a great Christmas gift!

Halloween


Robin went "hopping" in Utah and saw this adorable quilt hanging in Gardiner's Sew & Quilt in Ogden. How creative to use a pattern from the "Stop, Drop, & Roll" book by Anka's Treasures to feature this adorable Halloween panel. Not only do we have a full line of this fabric by Sheri Berry, but we also have kits available for this adorable quilt. Robin is our Halloween girl - and just had to sew one up for her home!

New Arrivals


Our shop is bursting with new bolts of fabulous fabric! Over a dozen new lines have arrived just this month! We have been busy sewing Christmas projects - yes, you heard that right - it's time to think about Christmas! We have catered our fall classes toward fun gift ideas... aprons to stockings, table runners to wall hangings. Need a fun gift idea? We've got you covered!

Pictured here is a new "cheater fabric" by Moda called "My First Quilt". The hexagon pattern is printed right on the fabric. I quilted it with a tight stipple and washed it in warm and threw it in the dryer. I know, not your typical care instructions for a handmade quilt! But the results were to die for! It looks like an antique treasure from my grandmother's hutch. Almost every day, someone asks who on earth pieced all those tiny hexagons. (hee hee) The fabric is 60" wide and is perfect for any size quilt.

Other "must see" new arrivals: (check back, I'll be posting links to the Christmas fabrics soon!)

Back to School!

Is summer really almost over? I can't believe the kids will be back to school in just 2 weeks! I've been having fun with Patty Young's new children's clothing patterns... the patterns are so well written and super easy to follow. These darling "Frida" tops will be the perfect addition to our Kindergarten wardrobe! Our Fall class schedule will be finalized and posted soon - so don't miss our "back to school wardrobe" classes!

We have so many fun new fabric lines - Christmas and Halloween galore! That's right - it's time to start thinking Christmas. The kids go back to school and we dust off old Bessie (the sewing machine). We just unpacked Moda's new Monkey's Jumping on the Bed flannels, Patty Young's new fabric line, along with a whole bunch of new kids flannels. They are all absolutely adorable! Come visit the store to see all the new additions!
