International Quilt Market

Dear Fellow Quilters!

 

We are super excited to have returned from the 2015 International Quilt Market.  There were over 250 Exhibitors, including companies from all over the world, with all kinds of products from fabric and trims to patterns and tools! Although, we did not visit every booth, we would like to share with you some of the exciting new things we saw and some products we will be selling in the store! 

Leah and Sarah from the Quilt Shop Department

  

One of the things we are excited to tell you about is the

“Six Halves Make a Whole” Program. 

 

 The Quilt Branch company has designed several patterns using the Creative Grids House Ruler and Cottage Ruler. With these tools and patterns you can create some pretty classic or contemporary quilts.  

 

 

House Ruler

 Cottage Ruler (On order, coming soon to Crafts Direct)

 

Individual Patterns and Pattern Books

 

 

You can start with just 6 half yard cuts! To make that initial color decision a little easier we have created bundles of 6 half yard cuts for you. We have a large variety of already bundled fabric collections so there is no stress in finding matching fabrics on your own. For some of the patterns that is all you will need. For others you will need to just add background yardage. 

 

 If you need help with those extra couple yards, please see a Quilt Shop Team Member and we will gladly assist you. Then all you have to do is cut and sew! 

 

Come on in and check out our end cap of new patterns and ½ yard Bundles at the back of aisle 29/30! 

 

 

 As you make projects from the "Six Halves Make a Whole Program," please take a photo, upload it to Instagram, Facebook or Twitter using the hashtag #CraftsDirectDIY in your post.

Your project may be featured on one of our social media platforms or in our store!

Stay tuned for more International Quilt Market excitement!

A few weeks ago we introduced our hashtag #CraftsDirectDIY and asked you, our loyal customers, to share your creations with us! Many of you, including several of our Crafts Direct employees have done so and we thank you very much for showing what you can do with our products! It's always nice to see what other local fellow crafters areas of expertise are.
