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!!

And more of your favorite vendors, plus a few new ones!

Show hours Friday and Saturday are 10 to 5.  Come early, stay late!


Be ready to be inspired by some of the most beautiful and interesting quilts in the region.  A great opportunity to find your newest obsession, or even the right idea to finish that UFO!!

Clark County Quilters show - March 28-29-30, Exit 9 off I-5!

The Clark County Quilters are having their AMAZING annual quilt show March 28-29-30!

They do it at the Clark County Fairgrounds/Event center that is just a touch north of Vancouver WA at exit 9 (officially Ridgefield).  Because they need a BIG venue to hold this BIG show!

Full disclosure:  I am still a member of CCQ, even though I moved 230 miles away.  But this is such an astounding group of quilters that I need to be associated with them!  You will want to be a member, too!

And even though I have a personal prejudice, I will tell you that the 2018 CCQ show was, without question, the BEST QUILT SHOW I HAVE EVER ATTENDED.  I almost couldn't see it all! 

So they set the bar pretty high for themselves for 2019.  I'm sure they'll rise to the challenge!

 

I highly recommend that you get a three-day pass and come all three days!  You will want to see the Jelly Roll Race, study the Fort Vancouver Tapestry (I notice new things every time I look at it), and attend some of the demos.  There's a set of challenge quilts, other special exhibits, and a competitive block contest where your vote is needed!

 

Hey!  And after all that inspiration, you'll need thread!

 

Bring a tote bag, wear comfortable shoes, carpool with friends, and spend the day. As per the CCQ tradition, this is a Thursday-Friday-Saturday show.  Bring cash for parking and for the SHOPPING you'll do!  Be ready for quilting immersion!!

Quilters Anonymous quilt show this weekend! March 15-16-17

The big "Monroe Quilt Show" - an annual extravaganza from Quilters Anonymous - is this weekend at the Evergreen State Fairgrounds in Monroe!  So many wait all year for this amazing show and their "new" venue (new for a few years) at the fairgrounds has proven to be a great location.  Everything in one space; vendors, demos, snacks, and QUILTS!

 

Threadmongers will be there - you'll need a huge infusion of thread after this long winter!

Threadmongers - closeout on Treasure hand quilting thread

As most of you know, Threadmongers does not have a retail web site.  I just sell thread at quilt shows (mostly in Washington State) and fill special orders for customers from my home.

Most of you also know that Threadmongers has a TREMENDOUS amount of thread!  

So I'm going to post some special deals here from time to time.  Some will be closeouts and some will be specials for your enjoyment.

Here is a great deal if you are a hand quilter!  Superior's "Treasure" hand quilting thread which is a substantial 30 weight, three-ply glazed thread. 


Take a look at the offer below.  This is sold as a lot of 12 spools only.  Don't need it all?  Go together with a friend and split the order!  I'll take one credit card and mail it to one place.
