Studio Secrets: Rare Quilting Finds, Back from the Brink!
Aug
I’ve been on a mission lately, a full-on archaeological dig in my studio. It’s one of those big cleanouts that you put off forever, but once you start, you can’t stop. And you know what? All that dusting, sorting, and rediscovering has paid off in a big way for all of you. It’s like finding buried treasure, and I couldn’t wait to share these rare finds that I’ve unearthed.
I’m talking about some seriously sought-after items that are either out of print, no longer in production, or just plain hard to get your hands on. I’m excited to put them back into circulation and into the hands of quilters who will truly appreciate them.
Stayed tuned for possibly more great finds in the future!
The Holy Grail of Quilting Books
First up, a find that made my heart skip a beat: the legendary ‘Quilting for Show’ book by Karen McTavish. This book is an absolute must-have for anyone serious about elevating their quilting to a professional level. Karen is a master of her craft, and this book is her bible, filled with invaluable techniques and insights that have made her work so famous.
Here’s the thing: this book is no longer in print. It’s become a highly sought-after collector’s item in the quilting world. We have a very small, limited number of copies left that were hidden away on a high shelf. A few of them have some minor creases on the cover from shipping, but I can assure you that every single book is brand new. Once these are gone, that’s it. This is your chance to own a piece of quilting history and learn from one of the best.
Extinct Rulers & A Design Masterclass
The next discovery is for all the precision-loving quilters out there. I found a stash of extinct rulers from Quilter’s Groove! These aren’t just any rulers; these are the Pro Curve and Pro Curve Lite rulers that were tucked away and completely forgotten about.
For those of you who’ve struggled with achieving perfect, evenly spaced curved crosshatching, these rulers are a game-changer. They make the process not only manageable but incredibly satisfying. Their unique design allows for controlled spacing and smooth, graceful curves that will add a professional touch to any project. We’ve got a limited number of them, and to celebrate their return, they’re all 25% off while they last!
And if you’re looking to truly master the art of quilting design, you’ll be thrilled about this next find. I also uncovered a limited number of copies of Lisa H Calle’s ‘Divide and Design’ DVD. This DVD is an amazing resource that goes beyond a simple pattern book. It’s a masterclass in approaching the design process itself.
Lisa breaks down complex concepts, teaching you how to look at your quilt in a whole new way, how to divide it, and how to create stunning, cohesive designs that flow beautifully. It’s perfect for the confident intermediate-level quilter who wants to take their skills and creativity to the next level. We’ve decided to discount these DVDs to just $30, making this incredible knowledge more accessible than ever.
Plus there are only 4 copies left of Mastering the Mini DVD by Lisa H Calle.
This DVD provides a full 90 minute course to help you develop the techniques Lisa H. Calle has used to create numerous award-winning quilts. With a design method intended for both longarm and domestic machines, this tutorial is suitable for confident beginners, as well as intermediate and expert quilters.
A miniature wholecloth can be an exquisite display of your quilting skills. Lisa will show you her step by step method for creating an heirloom one of a kind miniature. Her technique requires no measuring and minimal marking! You’ll be ready to astound your friends and family.
and 3 copies of Feathers of a New Generation
Lisa’s DVD, “Feathers of a New Generation” will teach you a wonderful new technique for creating beautiful wreaths, borders, and fill designs all without stitching a spine.
Everyday Essentials You Can Always Count On
While I was digging through the studio, I was also reminded of some of the staples we always have in stock that make your quilting life easier.
You know how much I love a seamless quilting experience, and that’s why we always carry Red Snappers and Red-e-edge clamps. If you’ve ever battled with pinning a quilt to your frame, you know what a lifesaver these are. They’re available in various sizes to fit your needs and are the perfect solution for effortless loading and tensioning.
So, as you can see, this studio cleanout was about more than just tidying up. It was about bringing some truly special and hard-to-find items back to life. These discoveries are rare, and once they’re gone, they’re gone for good. Don’t miss your chance to snag a piece of quilting gold and elevate your craft.
Happy quilting,
