2017 Spring Quilt Market Recap {Aurifil Thread Box}

Color· fabric· my fabric

14 Jun

Hi again!

All this week, I’m showing you all the things (ALL THE THINGS!!) from my Panache booth at Quilt Market in St. Louis a few weeks ago. Monday I showed the quilts featuring my first fabric collection, Panache with Robert Kaufman.  Yesterday, I showed the fabrics and color ways. Today, I’m going to show you something a wee bit different in that it’s not fabric, but you can for sure use it for your fabric.

 

Yes! An Aurifil Thread Box! I’m so so pleased to be working with Aurifil as Aurifil has long been a staple in my sewing room. I remember my mom handing me a spool of Aurifil, probably around 2009, and telling me how much she liked this “Italian thread.” I’ve been hooked ever since! I cannot tell you how much I love Aurifil!

Check out that rainbow! Yum yum!

These 10 bright and fun colors are some of my favorites! Plus, I’ve got a black and a light gray for versatile piecing. Use these threads for piecing or for quilting, all the while enjoying the lustrous color and quality of Auriful thread.

I’ve already used my thread quite a bit. Here’s a pretty picture of some English Paper Pieced “X’s” I made using my Panache fabric and Aurifil thread to whip stitch them together. Such a pleasure!

For more, visit Aurifilor ask your local quilt shop.

During market, the girls from Aurifil came by the Robert Kaufman booths to do conduct a Facebook Live session. This is a screenshot of the video, but you can find the full video and more pictures over on the Auribuzz website. My part starts around the 11:11 mark.

Ok, tomorrow I’ll be back with the “non quilt” projects. Friday I’ll capping off the week with a giveaway.

Bonus for subscribers: I’ve got a free download for you! This is the oversized postcard I was handing out at quilt market. It shows all my new patterns and of course my Panache fabric. Not a subscriber yet? You should be! Start here.

Talk soon!

P.S. Hey shop owners! At market I collected a bunch of cards for my monthly shop newsletter. If you would like to be included on my newsletter exclusively for shops, please subscribe below. Thank you!

👉 Sometimes it’s much deeper than that.
👉 Sometimes it’s a way to make something meaningful for someone you love.
👉 Sometimes it’s learning a new skill and surprising yourself along the way.
👉 Sometimes it’s simply the joy of making something with your own hands in a world that moves very fast.
👉 And for some people, we may never know the real “why” behind their quilting journey. 

But one thing I do know is that it’s never been just quilting for many of us. 🫶

And if you’d love to quilt alongside a community of supportive quilters from all over, at every skill level, the Make Modern Triangles Club might be exactly what you’re looking for. ✨

Because it’s not just quilting here.

We support each other. We share our progress. And we celebrate every single “ta-da!” moment right along with you. 🎉

My work-in-progress pile is getting to the point w My work-in-progress pile is getting to the point where I am not allowing myself to start anything new until I finish something else. 😅

I love starting things. I love the fabric pull and the “ooh what if…” energy and that first seam where everything still feels full of possibility.

But lately, I’ve been looking at my stack of half-done quilts and realizing… I don’t actually want more beginnings. I want more endings.

I want that moment when the blocks finally hit the design wall, and the entire pattern starts to come to life. When I step back and think, “Wow. I made that!” 

And I have a feeling a few of you know exactly what I mean. 🧵✨

Tell me… are you a serial starter, or are you in your “let’s finish what we began” era too?

The best way to learn is to just start. 👇 So many The best way to learn is to just start. 👇

So many people think things like...

“That’s way too detailed.” 
“I could never make that.”
“I don’t have time for that.”
“I’m not creative enough.”

And every single year, we have complete beginners and first-time quilters inside the Make Modern Triangles Club that make their very own quilt from start to finish. 🪄

All of my programs are accessible for brand-new quilters to learn and sew along, so that they end up with something beautiful that they made themselves. 

And the best part, is that you’re not alone. You’ll be learning and sewing alongside a community of ALL different skill-levels, and you’ll have the entire group to support you along the way. 🫶

so if you’re someone who has been thinking about quilting but you think you couldn’t do it, or it looks too hard, I challenge you to just start. You never know what you might create.

We all have that one technique we avoid. For me... We all have that one technique we avoid. For me... It’s needle turn appliqué! 🤭

Maybe it’s curved piecing... or resizing a block because the math (duh!). Or maybe it’s that pile of scraps that continues to go untouched because you’re afraid you might waste them. 👀

What if you could conquer all of that in just one week?

The Quilters Paradise Summit (QP26) is coming up March 9-16, and I am so excited to be a part of it! It is the biggest online event for quilters who want to level up their creative journey.

During the online summit, you’ll learn how to: 

✅ Resize ANY quilt block using a simple grid method (no more guessing!).
✅ Conquer curves using the “boob and bra” analogy (yes, really!) for perfect Drunkard’s Paths.
✅ Master Serger Quilting to piece, bind, and finish quilts faster.
✅ Design custom quilt labels using free tools like Canva.
✅ Transform scraps into “bricks,” “crumbs,” and stunning art pieces.

And the best part? It’s all coming to you FREE during the summit! 🎟️

I’ll be teaching alongside 25+ incredible experts in the quilting industry. Comment “SUMMIT” to reserve your spot for free! ✨
