New Batiks, Tilda Chambrays and a July Sale!

Thank you Shop Hoppers!

Thank you to everyone who participated in the Around The Bend Shop Hop. We enjoyed meeting each and every one of you during your stop at Quilters Cupboard. We anticipate about a hundred Starry Path Quilts (the shop hop pattern) to be created over the next few months. What a grand show and share that could be, don't you think? We hope you enjoyed the Shop Hop and thank you for being part of our community of quilters.

If you are a new subscriber to our weekly newsletter, we hope you enjoy hearing about what's new in the shop and other news or fun facts we have to share! Your feedback, comments and inquiries are always welcome.

Congratulations to the lucky winners of gift baskets and shopping sprees from each of the eight participating shops.

Boho Spirit Batiks by Banyan Batiks (a division of Northcott)

This newly arrived collection has been much admired by our batik-loving staff and in-store customers already! With intricate designs and lush foliage in an array of colours from deep yellow and teals, to rusts, greens and purples, this collection offers a bold palette with broad appeal!

28 piece fat quarter and fat eight bundles give you a great selection to play with.

42 piece precut charm packs, jelly rolls and layer cakes are also available - perfect for those precut-friendly patterns.

Yardage is also available, and we have some lovely background neutrals that blend superbly with this collection!

Boho Earth Kit - Two colourways and a class!

The Boho Earth pattern was designed by Kris Holderness specifically for the Boho Spirit collection. We have kits in both the Carefree (purple) and Refined (green) colourways. Quilt finishes at 71"x 71". Kit includes pattern, all fabrics for top and binding.

This pattern is written using traditional piecing and templates. If you are comfortable with using Studio 180 Rulers by Deb Tucker you can adapt the pattern to use your Rapid Fire Lemoyne Star ruler, V-Block ruler and Tucker Trimmer.

Boho Earth - Refined

From the fertile mind of your beloved Editor ....

We're planning a sale during the first week of July. It sort of coincides with our first year anniversary of taking over Quilters Cupboard. It's been a fun year and it's been great meeting many of you. I'd like to say I've learned a lot but I have to be honest ..... I'm struggling! Fat quarters, jelly rolls that aren't rolls, dimensions that are partially metric and partially imperial, and all the other obscure terminology you quilters use. It's like you don't want the rest of us to know what you're talking about! And why so many rulers?

If you come to the sale in July be sure to tell the staff you love the new lighting. Lie if you have to.

Hope to see you in the shop soon.
