New Notion!
Thread Cutterz Fish Snips
Featuring he same great ceramic blade as the Thread Cutterz rings, this new product from our fishermen friends at Thread Cutterz has retractable snips, PLUS the same thread cutter as the original zipper pull. It has a clip on the back (when using it for fishing) and an opening on the end for a lanyard (the quilter's way). Best of all, it measures 2 1/2" from tip to tip making it perfect for your hand sewing (Barb plans on using hers on the airplane!) Get one for your sewing kit and one for the fisherman in your life.

Scarlet Scissors in carrying case

Let's talk about Backings
For a large quilt we typically use 5 1/2 yards with a center vertical seam to make a backing that measures up to 84" x 99".
For smaller quilts, like the popular lap quilts, that measure in the range of 50" x 60" did you know that it may be possible to get up to three backings from one 3 yd cut of wide backing?
If you think wide backs (108" or 118" wide) at Quilt Corral are too pricey per yard consider this: Cut two backings side by side and sew the leftover pieces together to get a third, depending on the size of the quilt and the amount of extra needed for the quilter. Suddenly the cost has become very economical.
Shop 108" wide backs here.
Shop 118" wide backs here.
Shop our new "Give Me Five!" 5 yard packages of standard 42" backing here. Call or visit the shop for current selections.
Veteran's Quilt Project

Thank you for supporting us in helping to provide each honoree with a quilt.
Here is James Baker showing his quilt. James was honored earlier this year.

Carol and Barb
