Just published: The pattern for the latest Quilter’s Alley pattern: Tipping Point. The pattern explains how to make perfectly flat miters without the headache of mitering. The fabrics are fresh and bright for spring but would look just as amazing in deeper tones – a-la-amish-quilts. The pattern will be available for $12. but kits are being prepared for the Northern Star Quilt Guild Show on May 2, 3. These will include all the fabrics to make the quilt and the pattern for $90.
The kit and pattern will also be available in our webstore.
Take a look!

A few shots from the Machine Quilters Expo of this week. Many models of long arm quilters converged upon Manchester, New Hampshire for the big show and all the different ways you can make feather patterns (among other things). I didn’t realize that this was the scene of my very first quilt-show-shop-vending experience from two+ years back. I was especially glad to be on the “other side of the booth” this week, feeling like an explorer of all things long arm.
Ally stopped by for some mom-girl time.
Mary, Laura and I took numerous classes and Nancy was sorely missed but ever so busy building Dorms on a Drawstring.
The Quilter’s Alley has many new pantograph patterns and thread colors for our customers quilts. Bring them on!
Classes on everything from templates to tension kept us occupied and bleary-eyed for most of our visit. My head is spinning with ideas and all the new possibilities for making quilts into signature works of art. Each instructor had a spin, and the truth that emerged was to find our own spins: editing from these industry masters what works for us.
What happened for me is the realization that I love stitching on my Gammill (I already knew this) but just watching someone else is not as much fun. It’s like: ” If Mary had the only spoon to the warm apple crisp with vanilla ice cream.”
Two years in the making and we’re so glad we didn’t give up. The book – My Friend Molly Comes to Preschool is finally published.
Terrie’s new site (www.apreschoolstory.com) is under construction. Books are for sale and we’re taking orders at the Quilter’s Alley. $20. goes to the Molly Ann Tango Foundation. We will ship to you, if you like.
The story quilt is also done and kits are available at the Quilter’s Alley. Key illustrations have been redesigned as quilt blocks and the backpack block is ready for personalization. This particular quilt will be auctioned at the Foundation Luncheon in May.
