New Products

We are so excited!!  We have ordered all kinds of new fabric and patterns and they have started to arrive!!

The Quilt Bear now carries Moda fabrics!!

Check out the softest minky fabrics we have ever felt...and I have felt a lot of fabric!!  This minky is from Shannon Fabrics and we have several kits available in lots of color ways.

 

New fabrics from Moda are available from the Java line.

Available in Charm Packs, Layer Cakes and Jelly Rolls as well as yardage! 

Next up is the coolest marking pencil ever!  The Sewline making pencil and glue pen are amazing!  We got to try them out and the lead just glides across the fabric.  No snagging!  The glue pen dries clear and no gumming up!  Both are available in the new gift box set!

There are many more new products and we keep adding everyday!  Check out the Moda Fabric Page for a sneak peak at what's coming up.

Thank you everyone for making our first year in business a successful one!!

October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month!!

October is National Breast Cancer Awareness month and we are going to try (what did Yoda say...There is no try, only DO) to raise $750 by October 31 to be donated to the Susan G. Komen foundation.  Purchase any of the four breast cancer products on our website and in addition to the donation the manufacturer makes we will donate another 10%!  This is huge ladies!  We can make a difference in a disease that has touched almost everyone of us in some way!  Let's see what we can do to make a difference!

Bear Hugs for Mark Lipinksi and Breast Cancer Awareness

With the new site design, we have created a Bear Hugs page where you can see our focus charities.  We give 10% to each organization when you purchase the products displayed or listed. 

 Breast Cancer Awareness was a natural choice as Matthew's mom and my grandma were survivors.  Although we have since lost our loved ones, we wish to honor their memories.

Our second charity is the PKD Foundation better known as Polycystic Kidney Disease.  You may have heard of Mark Lipnski, our friend, designer, talk show host, teacher, and quilter extraordinaire.

Ok, well I haven't actually met Mark, but I am his friend on Facebook and I stayed in a Holiday Inn last night so I will take the liberty of calling him my friend!  Anyway, Mark suffers from polycystic kidney disease and is in need of a kidney transplant.  See Mark's Blog for all the details.  http://marklipinskisblog.wordpress.com/

Since I can't give him one of my kidneys...sorry Mark wrong blood type...and since I am already praying my little tosh off...which does work...we wanted to do more.  So we decided to give 10% of all sales of Mark Lipinski products on our website to the PKD Foundation. 

We quilters need to stick together and help each other any way we can.  Watch our Bear Hugs page as we post how much you have helped us raise each month!  As Mark might say, "Quilt for a Cause Cupcakes!!!!"

Website Re-Design

Sorry it has been so long since my last post!  We have been very busy re-designing our website to bring the "beary" best to our customers.  (Sorry couldn't resist the bear pun)  Not only did our site get a complete facelift, but it is also much more user friendly and fun!!!  Especially check out the Bear Hugs page where we will be featuring various charities that we will be donating 5% of our total sales to each month!!  When you buy from us you also help others in need!

Besides the re-design we have also been building our inventory and  have received the Clothworks Birds and Berries collection and will be receiving the Northcott Good Morning Sunshine collection by Mark Lipinski this month.  These fabrics look so beautiful and pictures just don't do them justice.

                  This Starry Night Pattern and kit will be available soon!

           I can't wait to whip up a sample of the Birds and Berries wallhanging!

Also, my son Ben created several ad slogans and here is one more for you!  He is so creative!

Take care everyone and happy quilting!
