Quilt Corral July 2022 Newsletter



Howdy Quilt Corral Friends!
Summer! It's Summer!!
Barb's favorite time of year! Carol likes summer too but she doesn't like the heat. Barb, on the other hand, will take a hot day in July over a cold Kansas winter any day!

Featured Panel
Howdy Christmas! by Northcott
Traditional red and green plus all things cowboy: I'm talking boots, horseshoes, hats, ropes - all of it! That's what Howdy Christmas is. We have the Christmas stocking boot panel, the tree skirt panel (one of our clever customers is making it into a table topper for her round table) the tree panel and kit.

New Kit!
All Good Things are Wild and Free
Fusible machine applique. Gigantic blocks. 3" sashings and 5" borders. What does all that mean? Quick work to make a big quilt! We are in love with these forest friends set in trendy colors of grey and turquoise. Kit includes fabrics as shown and full size paper patterns for the large animals.
Finished size approx 70" x 90".

Shop here for the kit.



Focus on handwork
Deck the Boughs by Kathy Schmitz. Make 12 embroidered ornaments. The kit has EVERYTHING needed. That's right, we've gathered all the unique supplies for you and put it all together into one kit. Includes the pattern, fabric and floss for embroidery, precut batting circles, 2" wooden circle disks, precut scalloped woolfelt backing, baker's twine, and jingle bells. If you love embroidery you will enjoy the way Kathy introduces less common stitches in clever ways, such as rows of chain stitch to fill in larger areas.

New Notion!
Quilt Binding Tool
If you struggle with connecting the tails of your binding with a seam, this ruler might be just the thing you need. It has markings for 2 1/4" and 2 1/2" cut size binding strips. The little 1/4" cut out is useful for marking the corners for mitering in exactly the right spot. It's new and we have it at Quilt Corral!!

Click here to shop for the Quilt Binding Tool.



Sew Daisy by Laundry Basket Quilts
You're not going to believe what a nifty notion this is! Snap a daisy onto each end of a spool of thread. You just created a needle case! Think about when sewing on bindings, or for your hand applique or embroidery. You need a needle handy! Note: Barb wants this for sewing on airplanes.

Click here for all color options.



Summit Storage Boxes
If you've been in the shop recently you may have seen these adorable storage boxes. Measuring 7" x 7" x 1 1/2" high, they are perfectly sized for 6 1/2" quilt blocks. Or use them to keep all the parts to a small project together. Or what about storing smaller notions that tend to sift to the bottom of the drawer. Or a summer sewing project! The list goes on ...

Summer Sewing!
Posh Pouch pattern. Love making zippy bags? Teaching someone how to sew a zipper this summer? This bag pattern is great. Simple, straightforward directions from one of our favorite designer friends, Susan, at Dragonfly Fiber Art.
Barb sewed up a couple samples in these bright, summery fabrics.

Click here for the pattern.




New pattern!
Fall Colors, just in! Designed for the Tiny Tree template! Just can't think about Christmas sewing yet? How about a cute fall project?
