Then of course, there’s the Colored Pencils quilt which we designed just for this issue of Quilt Sampler. The pattern is in the magazine, and we’ve got kits featuring 162 different fabrics for those pencils.

Which are your favorites? Tell us in the comments!

Now that it’s officially out, the Spring Quilt Sampler issue is in many of your hands and we are thrilled at the chance we’ve already had to meet so many great new people because of it. By the way, we do still have copies of the magazine available, in which you will find we are featured as the very first article! And of course you can pick up the Colored Pencil quilt kits, featuring 162 different fabrics for the pencil bodies, in our webstore.We’re currently in Kansas City at International Quilt Market and where we ran into Linzee McCray, the author who interviewed us and wrote our feature article. Finally we were able to meet her in person!
And today the American Patchwork & Quilting editor, Jennifer Keltner, made a lovely presentation of this year’s top quilt shops featured in the issue. Our pencil quilt is hanging in the booth for all to see so if you’re in KC stop by on the 2600 aisle to check it out up close!

We’ve got lots more news from Market, as well as more info about some of the projects featured in our article.  Stay tuned!

We had a 700 pound surprise a few days ago when boxes and boxes of Quilt Sampler Magazines arrived earlier than expected. The very magazine where you can read all about Suppose! It’s such a thrill to see our Colored Pencils quilt splattered across the glossy pages. The magazine is available in our shop already, but we’re gonna celebrate on the official release date on Tuesday, May 8 with some good times in our classroom.

Quilt Sampler Release Party

Tuesday May 8 9am-9pm

There’s tons going on that day, so here’s the nitty gritty.

• 15% off store-wide sale (even clearance!)
• 10am-4pm – complimentary chair massages by Heaven & Health from SLC
• giveaways all day
• see the famous Colored Pencils Quilt in person

Then from 5-9 the festivities really get serious…

• 5pm – Free Paper Piecing Mini Class (so you can make the pencil points in the Colored Pencils quilt without fear)
• Tons of yummy food provided by the NY Deli
• Larger-than-life game of Pictionary
• Insanely awesome prizes to give away, from charm packs to big bundles of fabric

You won’t want to miss these prizes. Lots of loot to go to many winners, from our favorite brands including Andover, Clothworks, Moda, Shannon, Quilters Dream Batting, Quilting Treasures, Timeless Treasures, and more.

We’ve got some adorable party favors too. That’s probably uncouth to brag about the party favors before a party, but they just make me smile and I can’t wait to give them out (starting at 5, be there early in case we run out!).

See you Tuesday at Suppose in Preston!

It’s the 10th of April, and we are still celebrating being named a Top 10 shop in North America. We’ve been counting down with a free pattern or tutorial each month on the 10th until the official release of our feature in Quilt Sampler magazine on May 8. Just wait till you see the quilt we designed for them. I can’t wait to show you!

But back to the free pattern. One of my favorite classes to teach here at Suppose is hand embroidery.  In planning the first class, I wanted the students to be able to practice a bunch of stitches but also end up with something they didn’t just want to throw away, so I designed this simple sampler of concentric circles.

It reminded me of the mandalas I learned about in high school, so that’s what I named it.  It’s very simple, but we’ve had so many requests for the pattern so I wanted to share it. Just go here to view the full Mandala Embroidery Pattern or to download your own copy.

As we await the release of our feature in Quilt Sample Magazine (since you asked–it’s out May 8), we are marking our countdown on the 10th of each month and celebrating being named a top 10 quilt shop by sharing a tutorial or pattern. Last month it was our heart bunting, and this month it’s my beloved On Parade Mini Quilt, featuring Sarah Jane’s On Parade embroidery.

We’ve even got kits with everything you’ll need, right down to the floss and the batting. This quilt has made me smile more than most quilts I’ve ever made, and I hope you enjoy it too! View the instructions here.

Today is an exciting day. We have a tutorial featured for the first time on Moda Bake Shop! We made this heart bunting for them with a Domestic Bliss charm pack, and guess what–it takes no sewing whatsoever. Low effort/high payoff Valentine’s Day decorations! Check out the simple step-by-step instructions here.

By the way you may have noticed that today’s date is the 10th. Since Quilt Sampler Magazine named us a Top 10 quilt shop, each month on the 10th we’ll have something fun here for you, as we count down to the magazine release date in May. Only time will tell what next month holds!

Anyone who visited the shop at the right time on a certain day last September was probably a bit confused to find the lights off and cords all over. They camera crew were mostly pretty stealth and quiet, but the lighting was the giveaway. Some may have figured out that those shots were going to be for Quilt Sampler magazine! The crew was a blast, we even got to go out and celebrate with them at the end of the long day.

Part of our feature in the magazine will include a quilt pattern we designed. The quilt itself is actually in Iowa right now so they can style & shoot it. So Monday when we had our big live announcement we unveiled a miniature version. Right now we’re calling it Pencilmania, and for this version we used a bunch of polka dots that are in the original, larger version.

Kathy and I have both always loved school supplies. Back-to-school shopping was so exciting, and we still love picking out new pens or getting markers in every single color. So this quilt really suits us, and is sort of the patchwork version of neurotically arranging your writing utensils in color order. Personally, I think it would make a really adorable gift for a child’s teacher. We’ll be making several versions of the pattern, who knows what form it might take next!

One great thing about 2012 is that we don’t have to keep our secret any longer. We found out last Summer that we would be featured in the Spring/Summer 2012 issue of Quilt Sampler magazine! The catch was that we couldn’t tell anybody, all while being interviewed, having photo shoots, and designing and making the quilt that would be featured in the magazine. Well we’re thrilled to finally be able to share this exciting news!

Quilt Sampler comes out twice a year, from American Patchwork & Quilting, published by Better Homes & Gardens, and features the top quilt shops in the country. What an honor to be chosen after only being open 2 years! The issue is released May 8, so mark the calendar for a big celebration in our shop that day. We’ll be counting down till then with some fun stuff that we’ll be updating you on.  In the mean time, we made the big announcement on Monday in our store by drawing for some prizes, and unveiling a miniature version of the quilt pattern we designed for the magazine.

The American Patchwork & Quilting ladies gave us this bag to give away, and Ann won!

Julie was the winner of the $100 Moda bundle. Lucky!

Thanks to everyone who joined us to celebrate our big announcement! We’re so lucky to have the supportive customers and staff who make our jobs not just possible but so much fun.
