Steampunk Menagerie Quilt

This bed size quilt (89” x 107”) kit features a large center panel, surrounded by

interesting pieced blocks and animals from the block panel. The border print adds splashes of color plus fascinating aquatic creatures. Come by the shop and see the sample hanging now in the classroom – it was such fun to make using Jason Yenter’s well written pattern, and went together very easily.

Wood Chips Quilt Kit

This lap size quilt captures the steampunk atmosphere and lets you decide the positioning of the eclectic animals from the block panel.

Wouldn’t this quilt add to the alluring atmosphere you need for reading or watching your favourite mystery or sci-fi entertainment?

What do you think of the Steampunk fabric? Maybe you're like me and you're not quite sure what "steampunk" means. The definition I found is: "a subgenre of science fiction and a retrofuturistic subculture that blends 19th-century Victorian-era aesthetics with steam-powered technology." I was pretty sure it's a retrofuturistic subculture but my extensive research confirmed it. Another way to define it would be a bunch of animals driven by gears, pulleys and mechanical devices - which sounds weird. For what it is worth, I think this is my new favourite fabric.

Don't miss the LDH Scissors event on February 28th. It will be a great chance to try out these awesome scissors and maybe even get your name engraved on a pair. If our insurance company approves it I will be demonstrating how to properly run scissors.

This is my assistant editor, Murphy, during the Canada - US gold medal game at the Olympics earlier today. He was a wee bit stressed!
