16 Country Vintage Designers have come together to offer a unique block of the month program to quilt shop owners who attend the May market in Kansas City & complete the Kansas City March Booth Hop.  Which in turn - will bring this fabulous new Block of The Month program to each of you valued quilting lovers at your local favorite quilt shop!  Each of the 16 designers has created a special block for the quilt "Our Legacy Sampler" shown above. Quilt Shop owners will also have the chance to win this quilt for their shop by visiting each of the Kansas City March booths in May.  There will also be a number of other prizes for the participants of the hop including fabric bundles, pattern bundles, books and more!

I welcome each of you to visit our website we have created to give you more information on this outstanding project! Please forward this information on to your favorite quilt shop!!!

((((Now - pay attention to each of our blocks - I want you to pick out your favorite and tell me which one you like the best - but not quite yet - take your time and enjoy and browse and finish reading this blog post all the way to the end!))))  Just click on each of the quilt blocks below to visit their websites! If you would like to visit their blogs (if they have one) I've provided the links for their individual blogs directly below their quilt blocks!!!  Enjoy!

And here are the wonderful companies that are sponsoring our group endeavor!


Wow - congratulation - you've made it to the end of this awesome blog post!  And now for the Blog Give Away!  I want to know the name of your favorite brick and mortar (meaning they have an actual building that you walk into to shop at!) quilt shop.  Which quilt shop in your area - or that is far away from you that you have visited is your absolute favorite quilt shop?  PLUS (and this part is optional!) - if you have shopped online - I also want to know the name of your favorite online quilt shop!

So - to qualify for this Blog Give Away - you have to give me the name and city or state of your favorite quilt shop to drive to and shop at and this part is optional - your favorite online quilt shop that you order from!

My favorite brick and mortar quilt shop is Stylish Fabrics in Logan, Utah. My favorite online shop, or at least the one I purchase from the most, would be Connecting Threads.

My favorite quilt store is The Laughing Ladies in Berthoud, Colorado. They are just delightful and their fabric selection is over the top. Online, I like Primitive Gatherings. I really liked Sew Unique but, alas, it is closed.

My favorite local quilt shop is Megan's Quilt Parlor in Albion, PA. My favorite online shop was Sew Unique Creations, I am having a hard time finding a new favorite. So, let's just say Whittle's Fabrics is now in the running as my favorite online shop. Thanks. Great quilt.

Pat said...

My favorite brick and mortar shop is Quilter's Haven, Rosemount, MN - my home away from home. My favorite online shop is Beaver Creek Quilt Company.

Heartsdesire said...

Even though I live on Vancouver Island, my favourite quilt shop is Two Thimbles, in Bellingham, Washington. I love to take a trip there every couple months. My favourite online quilt shop is Whittle's. The service is great and there are many, many Civil War fabrics to choose from.

WOW, what a great collaboration of designers and ideas! My favourite brick and mortar shop is Traditional Pastimes in Calgary Alberta Canada (the best little shop for miles and miles)! My favourite online shop was Sew Unique, but it is no longer and I have yet to find one I really enjoy! Just in case your wondering, my favourite block is the one from Annemarie, love the T block!

Robyn said...

I think I like Joyce Weeks block best. My LQS closed down :( so I'd have to say my favorite now is Mamaw's Thimble in Knoxville, TN. It has a wonderful selection of fabrics and I love to visit when I pass through the area. My favorite online shop is Fat Quarter Shop because of sheer volumne and awesome customer service.

I have four shops that I trade at every week...these shopes are great each in their own way and there is no way I could pick "one". Which child do you like best...not going there .. and yes there are others from time to time. I am blessed to live in an area that has scores of good shops.
First would be Cabbage Rose in Fort Worth, TX for "modern, hip, fun fabric" Second would be Country Stitches in Burleson, TX for general fabric. Third would be Common Threads in Waxahachie, TX for Repro's and BOM and Fourth is Lone Star House of Quilts in Arington, TX for Repro's, Jo's and the gals!

My favorite brick and mortar quilt shop is Roberts Sewing Center in Joliet,Illinois. My favorite online is Connecting Threads, at least my last two orders! Martha from Minnesota (I visit Illinois twice a year.)

Lynn said...

My favorite hometown quilt shop is In Between Stitches in Livermore, CA. My favorite quilt shop that takes me four hours to drive to is The Quilt House in Gardnerville, NV. I don't shop online too often, but when I do, I shop at Old Country Store.

Jocelyn said...

The quilt shop that has fabrics that I LOVE is Patchwork Pig in Lakeland Florida. It is about a 45 minute drive from my house, but what a treat. They carry so many different styles, but I mostly love their Civil War fabrics. Most of the quilt shops here in Florida have stopped carrying CW fabrics. Patchwork Pig also carries modern, 30's, blenders, and Asian style fabrics.

marie said...

My favorite brick/mortar shop is Ladies of Liberty in Historic Independence, Oregon. They only sell Civil War fabrics. My favorite on line store is Primitive Gatherings, especially for their wool patterns

Anonymous said...

OMG....all my colors and style and then I looked at all the designer names and OMG....love their style and always have gravitated towards their patterns! Congrats to all of you!!
My favorite brick and morter building closed nearly 1.5 years ago...same year it appeared in the Quilt Shop Sampler magazine. I would drive nearly 1.5 hrs at least once a month for Jo club. The were called, Plain and Simple in Apex, NC.
As for favorite on-line...honestly they are all wonderful but I find that I go to Quiltshops.com and type in the fabric I'm looking for and then seek the best price. So there are several I use. I would like to give a shout out for Whittles Fabrics...nothing over $7 a yard. You can call and ask them if you don't see it on the website.
Thanks for a chance to win!!! This is Jo...I am serious!!!

Donna Keating said...

It's a close tie between Common Threads in Waxahachie, TX and Lone Star House of Quilts in Arlington, TX for the brick and mortar store favorite. I guess the online store I've ordered the most from is Fabric.com.

One of the best quilt shops I have visited is call Meeting House Fabrics in Wales MA. Meeting House in in an old church that was slated to be torn down, whenever you walk in you feel peacefull, and there is such eye candy pleasantly displayed and always a friendly hi how are you. If you are ever in the area you must visit. Tell them I sent you.

Beckyjean said...

My favorite quilt shop would have to be Primitive Gatherings in Menasha, Wisconsin. It's an hour away, but well worth the trip. I don't do much online ordering, so I don't have a favorite there. Thanks for the chance to win some lovely fabric.

Spend time in SW FL & WNY, have a fav in both states, HEARTLAND in Lockport NY and COTTON PATCH in Univesity Park(SRQ)FL. BTW: never been to a brick & mortar shop that wasn't special. Always something (fabric, notion, idea, smile) that you won't find in a big box chain!

~*~Leanne~*~ said...

My favorite quilt shop is Primitive Gatherings in Menasha, WI. My favorite online quilt shop is Primitive Gatherings. The first time I walked into the shop I was like a kind in a candy store...my eyes were like saucers trying to see everything. It's the quilters and stitchers Disney World.

Thanks for the giveaway,

My Fav Brick and Mortar is Cabbage Rose Quilt shop in Fort Worth Texas.
Awesome gals and the fact that they always ask me about my daughter melts my heart!

Then he goes his Hyper Meter and hits the enemy again. The lasting effects of prohibition are easily seen even decades after it ended. There has become increasing fear in the pesticides in our foods. If you cant devote hours to grinding your character up through the levels or looking for legendary items there are a couple of shortcuts you can take.
