Welcome to our booth! (Day 2)

We spent last weekend in St. Louis at International Quilt Market, meeting shop owners and introducing them to our newest fabrics. The Painter's Palette Solids (all 168 colors) were definitely the stars of the show! (psst...if your local quilt shop isn't carrying them yet, ask them to contact us!)

Here's the second half of our booth; if you missed the post about the first half, find it here. 

"Hue Knew" designed by Maria Pate featuring Painter's Palette Solids. Such a fun sampler-style medallion quilt!

Our silky smooth cottons are perfect for sleek, classic dresses (in two styles)!

Get your fruits and veggies! Everyone loves Farmer John's Garden Party prints, and they show up beautifully in this log cabin-style design by Maria Pate.

Color Wheel, a rainbow-hued circular quilt, designed by Kim Eichler-Messmer using a huge range of Painter's Palette Solids.

Don't Tread On Me designed by Stephanie Z. Ruyle, using a gorgeous selection of Painter's Palette Solids.

And of course, the second wall of Jacquie's gorgeous art--six more colors of walking foot machine quilting designs. You can learn more about Jacquie's techniques on her website or in her newest book, Walk. We love them!

Welcome to our booth! (Day 1)

We spent the weekend in St. Louis at International Quilt Market, meeting shop owners and introducing them to our newest fabrics. The Painter's Palette Solids (all 168 colors) were definitely the stars of the show! (psst...if your local quilt shop isn't carrying them yet, ask them to contact us!)

Here's the view of half our booth; we'll share the second half later this week. 

If these look familiar, you're right! Jacquie Gering machine quilted these beauties, choosing a gorgeous palette from the Painter's Palette Solids, and we used them in our QuiltCon booth. Jacquie has since added to the collection, and we were thrilled to hang them again! 

...and, since many people asked...these are all done on a regular home sewing machine using a walking foot. You can learn more about Jacquie's techniques on her website or in her newest book, Walk. 

We have more of Jacquie's work in the booth--she created this quilt using a palette of hot reds and oranges. The quilt is unnamed--we asked attendees to leave a business card with a name suggestion--can't wait to see what Jacquie picks from the entries!

More of a showcase on solids--illusion quilts featuring Painter's Palette Solids, designed by Lisa Swenson Ruble.

Our new Woodland Friends collection, featuring the art of Charlie Zabarte, received plenty of attention at the show. Here the blocks in the panel are assembled into a stuffed block:

And the coordinates create an adorable dress for a little girl!

The America Quilt by Cynthia Wismann hung proudly in our booth again! This art quilt combines Ro Gregg's Valor collection with Painter's Palette Solids to create a design that is pure America. 

And of course the Hashtag quilt made with Painter's Palette Solids, which has become a fast favorite since its debut at QuiltCon. (You can find the free pattern for it here.)

Designer (and quilt shop owner) Maria Pate stands with her bug jar quilt, made using the You Bug Me! collection. We love all the different size and shape jars, as well as the appliqued butterflies and quilted spider webs! 

In addition to viewing and ordering our new collections, quilt shop owners could make some impulse purchases. We brought a variety of precuts and Painter's Palette Solids bolts that shop owners could buy and take home right away. These flew off the shelves, so look for them in your local quilt shop!

One last quilt for side 1 of the booth. Originally a free pattern for the Elemental Lines collection, Maria Pate stitched this version using the neutral palette of the Essentials 2 collection. Find a link to the pattern here.

Thanks for taking part 1 of our booth tour!

QuiltCon with Jacquie Gering

We really enjoyed spending time with Modern Quilt Guild chairman Jacquie Gering at QuiltCon. A fellow Kansas City resident, Jacquie has become a huge fan or our Painter's Palette Solids. She created this fabulous art wall for our booth--different stitching motifs using her walking foot. 

We know you want to look closer! Here are some close ups:

Jacquie also offered a demo: Beyond Lines: Quilting Innovative Designs with the Walking Foot (still using our solids!) and held a book signing in our booth. 

Here's Jacquie talking up our 168 Painter's Palette Solids colors during the demo: 

Showing her tulip quilt:

Demonstrating some walking foot quilting, using dots to guide her stitch lines:

Jacquie's demo was hugely popular, and much of the crowd then shifted to our booth for her book signing. Everyone waiting in line got to touch our Painter's Palette Solids while they waited. 

Jacquie is as wonderful in person as she appears in her books, videos, and lectures.

Thanks, Jacquie, for spending time with us at QuiltCon! We're glad you love our Painter's Palette Solids as much as we do!

QuiltCon: Tour our booth!

We just returned from four days in Savannah, as a sponsor of the Modern Quilt Guild's QuiltCon show. The show was incredibly inspiring, and we were thrilled to meet so many quilters and introduce them to the smooth and silky feel of all 168 colors in our Painter's Palette Solids collection. If you didn't make it to the show, we invite you to take a tour of our QuiltCon booth below.

                           The "Spinning Palette" quilt made by Kylah Kay Jackson 
                                           using all 168 Painter's Palette colors:

Happy by Linda Frost; featuring the Happy collection (and some beautiful appliques!). While not as modern as other quilts, it was a showstopper that attracted plenty of attention! 

Our prize wheel! Attendees walked away with a the Hashtag quilt pattern, packs of 2-1/2" square Paint Chips, tote bags, buttons, and more! We loved getting to talk to all of the show attendees and introducing them to the smooth and silky Painter's Palette Solids!

And finally, our art wall. Jacquie Gering, who is Kansas City based like we are, chose 18 different solids to create this machine quilting art wall. Each piece was stitched with a walking foot. 

Jacquie's newest book, "Walk." Find it, and more about Jacquie, here.

Jacquie signed books in the booth--what a line of fans waiting for her!
