Remember the name Krista Moser because she is going to be a superstar! This gal has it all, talent, color sense, marketing sense – and the most important of all of the senses – common sense! When a relatively new designer has four patterns in the top 100, I take notice – and you should too!
Krista designed the Creative Grids® newest 60-degree Diamond ruler. This Cut Loose Press™ pattern is so simple, even I could make it. It is all done out of 2-1/2″ strips which makes it easy to market!
Or choose this simple Cut Loose Press™ baby quilt that features the hexie aspect of the tool:
Many of you are already kitting and teaching the Aztec Table Runner which can be made with the 60-degree aspect of the tool as well.
Once you know how to use the ruler, these patterns are a piece of cake. They look like you worked really hard but are actually week-end projects once you know her techniques!
And here is the star of the show – the Creative Grids® 60-degree Diamond Ruler:
Why not start a series of classes, showcasing a different element of the tool each month? Your customers will love you for it!
I ran into Kim from Kimberbell while we were setting up the booth and she told me that Broomhilda was visiting.
The description for this is so darn cute – you can’t improve on perfection so I am not even going to try:
Come sit for a spell in Broomhilda’s Bakery where every ghoul-friend is welcome! Hang your hat and rest your witchy toes, while sampling the spooky sweets like Boo-Berry Pie and Rice-Creepy Treats. Kimberbell’s vinyl and glitter sheets conjure the cutest applique with charming frogs under glass, plus diva witch hats and high heels. All the extraordinary embellishments like Mylar candy corns and flowers, fuzzy fringed spiders, and Broomhilda’s collection of eyeballs will have you screaming in a good way.
Kimberbell’s spook-tacular new quilt features: 26 embroidered blocks, Flying Geese (pieced in the hoop) and three more traditionally pieced blocks include Pinwheel, Four-patch, and Broomhilda’s twist on a Sawtooth block, which she calls the Sweet-tooth Star. Plus 4 pieced picture blocks, where the sections are embroidered separately, then applique images are aligned before piecing the blocks together to make a complete picture. The quilt can be made with the 4×4 and 5×7 hoop sizes.
Broomhilda’s Bonus projects include:
Smell my Feet Tea Towel
Face First Frosted Cupcake Hot Pad (4 sizes)
Suspiciously Sweet Table Runner (2 sizes)
Apothecary Jar Wall Hanging (2 sizes)
Under Your Spell Bench Buddy
And, in typical Kimberbell style, she has included an embellishment kit that includes everything to make this sing!
Don’t have an embroidery machine? It’s okay. there is a version for you as well!
And, of course there is a fabric line to make it all oh so easy!
Everything will be in stock by next month so plan your classes now!
I am in Portland and the excitement started right when I landed. I ran into Christine Poor of Poorhouse Designs at the airport. If her luggage arrived safely, I will actually get to see the originals tomorrow.
She uses a no binding technique that sounds appealing. I can’t wait to stop by her booth and see how it is done. The purse and clutch are made with one package of Bosal pre-cuts. Buy two because you are going to want to make the placemats as well!
They come in In-R-Form or Craft-Tex. Choose your favorite product or make samples in both so customers can feel the difference!
We have a new baby at our house so I want to make a set as changing pads! Wouldn’t that be adorable??
Everything should be in stock by the end of the month so order them now!
Kathy Skomp of Lavender Lime Quilting has quite an imagination! She has created 20 table runners – 10 pieced and 10 appliqued – all of them are charming!
The awe factor? Any design from a table runner can be turned into a darling placemat so there are TONS of options! What a great basis for a series of classes! Why not make one a month for a gift that keeps on giving?
These new storage containers by Art Bin are designed to fit in their ever-popular Super Satchel containers.

Spring Fling and Spring is in the Air
Liberty and Wool Barn

Trick or Treat and Fall Harvest

One look at this pic and you will be an Elizabeth Hartman fan for life! How cute are these penguins:
I predict this will be the number one baby quilt this year!
In fact this season she has gone to the birds – and yes, I checked, a penguin is considered a bird….
If you want more of a challenge, try North Stars – an assortment of your favorite critters. This quilt just screams Pacific Northwest:
The patterns are due to arrive this month. But they feature a fabric line – Arctic – which is due to arrive in August.
There is a reason that Terry Atkinson is a legend in our industry! She dots all of her “i’s” and crosses all of her “t’s”. When she releases a pattern, you know she has looked at it from every angle and doesn’t release it until she has a winner. 
Case in point: Hat Trick Runners. The runner takes only three fat quarters and an accent fabric. Kitting is so easy! Make the individual 60 degree triangles with the Creative Grids 60 degree ruler and choose the layout you like best. Talk about a great class! Who will be able to make just one – especially when they are inspired by their classmates.
Sugar Sand Beach is so clean and crisp – and is made with 2 1/2″ strips. The instructions include four different sizes so you don’t have to do the math. There are also fabric requirements for fat quarters if that works better for you. This quilt is made with the Creative Grids Spiderweb ruler.
Don’t you love the names? These patterns will be arriving soon so add them to your class schedule.
Janine Babich has designed a whole series of”Made in the Hoop” designs. (The three rectangular shapes require a 5 3/4″ x 8″ hoop). What a great display! Check out the awe factors that she adds to every design:
