Kitsap Quilters "Stitches of Love" May 3-4, 2019!

Oh, Kitsap Quilters we have been waiting for you!!

Your amazing 2019 annual quilt show in February was blindsided by SNOW and the whole thing was postponed to the first weekend in May!  But we still want to see the show and enjoy the demos and spend time with YOU! 

So this weekend, Friday and Saturday, your dedicated fans and fellow fabric artists will make the easy trip to the Kitsap County Fairgrounds and show the Kitsap Quilters some love!

I'll be doing a quick demo on Preserving Children's Artwork in Thread which will give you some simple ideas for getting that artwork on to fabric and honoring the artist with a quilted replica.  Be sure to have a young artist in mind and come to get some inspiration!

For directions, hours, and other valuable info, here's the link:

And yes, you need thread!!

How exciting to start the “quilt show year” again!  As I get my shows lined up for the season, I think about all the friends I have made at these shows and how much fun we have getting back in touch after the long winter!

See you in 2017.  You need thread!!

 

Happy Thread New Year! 2017!

Happy New Year to everyone!  I hope your resolutions include GREAT THREADS!!


Don't get in a thread rut - try something new this year!



Are you using poor quality, linty thread?  Try a premium quality, long staple, smooth cotton thread!

Stuck using the same color all of the time?  Try some new ones!  So beautiful.

Stuck using the same weight threads all of the time?  Experiment with thread weights to get the drama or the texture you want.

Not sure about the polyester threads?  Jump on in!  Try quilting on top with some beautiful polys.  They have the shine and strength you will love!

Had a bad experience with metallic thread in 1989?  They are all new now!  Use some bling!

Be ready to create some marvelous quilts in 2017 with some amazing threads! 

The Threadmonger is here for you!

I'll publish my show schedule soon.  First up is the Kitsap Quilters show February 17-18.  I know you can hardly wait!!

Kitsap Quilters - February 19-20, Kitsap County Fairgrounds!

What a beautiful way to start the quilt show year!!  The Kitsap Quilters are putting the finishing touches on the GREAT quilts they have to delight you at this year's show - Going Coastal!

So head out to the Kitsap County Fairgrounds on February 19-20 and gather up some of that inspiration you have been looking for.  Sure, you can see it on Facebook and Pinterest, but it's always BETTER to see the quilts in person and meet the quilters!

Threadmongers will be there!  I'm sure you have used up all that thread by now and you need MORE!
