Fall Shop Hop

This is the week that we are usually scrambling, to to get everything ready for the Fall Shop Hop.

This year is no different.... There's lots to do and time is running out! At least the Shop Hop quilt is DONE! Nancy pulled an all nighter to finish it, in time for Jane of Jane's in Stitches to quilt it for us this morning.... The binding is on and ready to be stitched down by hand. Now, we just have to write the pattern and come up with our "give away" project. Good thing we work well under pressure! Lol

Here is a sneak peak! It's been lots of fun working with the Moda collection, "Makin New Friends" by Deb Strain. There is an adorable panel that is incorporated into this pattern. It is really easy to piece with a little applique and paper piecing thrown in.... Again, it is easy and would be great for a beginner. We will have kits available at Shop Hop which runs this Thursday Sept 30 to Saturday Oct 2, 2010. Make sure that you stop by Kindred Spirits Quilt Co. We have lots of new things and we've been cutting all kinds of kits for a couple of weeks!

We just loved this pattern when we saw it! Tiny Town is just too cute for words. Join Leslie this fall once a month to make a block. All the fabrics for the top and the pattern are included in the monthly fee.

Take a Tour of the New Store!

Welcome to

Kindred Spirits Quilt Co.!

We finally managed to take a few moments to photograph the store so that you could take a peek at all the wonderful things that we have available! Your favourite Moda fabrics are just beautiful this spring. The collections from Three Sisters, Fig Tree, Deb Strain and April Cornell are so fresh and pretty! And of course, we have the latest from Kansas Troubles, if country colours are what really appeal to you.

You'll love the fresh happy shades of Thirties reproductions in this collection!

Or if Batiks are your thing, we have a great selection! The new Hoffman batiks are "to die for"... And of course there is nothing more fun to play with than a Bali Pop of precut 2 1/2 inch strips. We have stock of all six new colours!

Maybe you are sewing for a new baby or young children. At Kindred Spirits, you will find a great selection of juvenille prints, including some soft and cozy flannels.

Our basic collections can't be beat, with choices from Northcott's Elements, Textures, Freckles and some Stonehenge as well as Neutrals, Black Tone on Tones, Moda Marbles, Fossil Ferns, and the complete collection of Stof basics.

And we have kits for the lovely YoYo quilt shown above.

Our thread selection includes the full line of DMC floss, Aurifil neutrals for piecing, all 84 colours of the Sulky Blendables and Gutermann cottons and hand quilting thread.
