It's fast and fun!

New Fabrics!
Chocolate Covered Cherries
by Kim Diehl for Henry Glass.
 Just when you think Kim Diehl's fabrics might be looking like repeats along comes Chocolate Covered Cherries!! Warm pinks, browns, and creams in reproduction style prints. (If you think Barb had anything to do with Quilt Corral getting this collection you would be right!) There will be kits coming later but this has just arrived and we couldn't wait to show you!

Click here to shop the entire collection.

  

  

Lower the Volume by Blank
White backgrounds with small motifs. Great for when you want a little more than white in the background. Carol loves using these prints in her scrap quilts. We've restocked some that were previously sold out and added a few new prints.

New Book!!
Scrappiness is Happiness
Do you expect a lot of bang for your buck when you buy a book? If you love working from your stash and you enjoy making scrappy quilts, here's one for you! Notice how the quilts on the cover are made with Low Volume white prints? Hmm. We didn't even plan that!!

Get the book here.

New Kits!
Winter Joy quilt kit
This fabric collection came in and has been literally flying out the door! If you love traditional red and green for your Christmas quilts, and you adore retro Christmas images, here's a chance for you to get it all in this kit.

Finished size is a generous 68" x 82.

Be Mine Zipper Pouch
Part of our grab and go kits, we've included the pattern, pre-cut 2 1/2" squares, a red zipper and red for the heart, lining and bottom. The design makes a larger than usual zipper bag (maybe we should say "taller") and the construction results in a flat bottom that stands up well.

Click here for the heart zippy bag kit.



Focus on handwork

Everything Nice Ornament Kit
Sometimes our vendors send us free patterns (in hopes that we will stock them at Quilt Corral!) When we recently re-ordered dishtowel patterns from Bare Roots, this clever ornament pattern was tucked in the box. What makes this ornament unique is it's roundness. Applique the woolfelt to orange peel shapes, then assemble into the ball. Kit includes the pattern with all of the ornament options and enough woolfelt to try out one of the designs.

Click here to get the kit.



New Notion!
Pin Alert!
A stand up magnetic pin cushion, the Pin Alert will keep your pins at your fingertips. Doubles as a caution sign for next to the iron to remind you when it's hot - especially when sewing with friends and at retreats!

Click here to get yours!

New patterns!

Do you collect Mini Charm packs (2 1/2" x 2 1/2" squares) wherever you go? We have a new display at the store with little buckets filled with Mini Charm packs and a plethora of patterns to use them with!
