Bring in 2022! We’re buzzing with excitement to kick off the new year with you, fellow quilters, as each January breathes in fresh beginnings brimming with possibilities.

For us, this new year kicks off with a celebration of color! We’ve put together brand new kits in three of your most-requested CT exclusive collections — Amish Solids, Faux Linen Tonals, and Quartz Metallic Tonals.

These ultra-soft LUXE fabrics are produced using the finest 100% American-grown cotton.

4

To complement the explosion of color in fabric, we’d love to acquaint — or reacquaint! — you with our best-in-class 100% cotton thread, Essentialtm. Dyed to match our Basics and Blenders, and made from extra-long staple cotton, a full spectrum of spools is a must-have for any well stocked sewing room.

Interested in bringing in the new year with some new skills? This month we’re setting you up with all the tools you need to start two of our favorite quilty delights, English Paper Piecing and Free Motion Quilting.

Make sure you’re subscribed to our email list for even more exciting news and launches in the new year, including our upcoming Finishers Club! See the link below to join our email list so you don't miss a thing.

Finally, we’re sharing some of our quilty new year’s resolutions on pg. 25, and we’ve got one for you, too.

Please share your work with the community by tagging your photo on social media with #TogetherWeQuilt — we can’t wait to see it!

Create. Quilt. Love.

WHY WE LOVE

Fat Quarters

A fat quarter is a half yard of fabric that’s cut again vertically down the middle.

FQs aren’t just a handy way to get a set of perfectly coordinated fabrics. The possible cutting configurations maximize your fabric and minimize waste!

Learn something new

Free Motion Quilting

Thinking about trying to quilt your own projects can be intimidating, but it doesn’t need to be.

We’ve got you covered with a selection of our beginners’ basics to get you started successfully!

Practice panels

Lines wash away!

When you’re first learning free motion quilting, you’re learning a whole new set of skills, and it takes a while to gain the hand-eye-foot pedal coordination necessary for even stitches. We LOVE these panels because the easy to follow pre-printed designs allow you to just focus on the mechanics of quilting, and you get an impressive finished project at the end. Best part? Those lines dab away with water when you’re finished quilting.

Machingers gloves Think of these little gloves as snow chains for your hands, they give you the traction you need to keep your hands steadily gripping your quilt rather than slip-sliding around. With three sizes, we’ve got hands of all sizes covered.

A Guide to Batting COTTON BATTIN G

OUR PICK This batting is made from the finest long-staple American cotton. Never bleached with harsh chemicals, this batting is the ideal choice for quilts for little ones.

Cotton is a soft, breathable, and natural fiber. It’s machine washable and dryable, has moderate drape, and ages well. It softens and shrinks slightly with washing, giving it a crinkled “lived in” look. Compared to other materials, cotton batting offers the heaviest weight.

WARM & NATURAL COTTON BATTING 21802 Twin $21.99 21803 Queen $31.99 21804 King $47.99

GOOD FOR A flat, traditional look

OUR PICK These wool battings are manufactured using the finest washable wool available.

The wool is lightly resin bonded to help prevent fiber migration. Can be hand or machine quilted and will shrink 3-5%.

WOOL BATTIN G Wool is lightweight, warm, and moisture-wicking. Contrary to popular belief, it’s machine washable and dryable as long as you use gentle, cool cycles.

HOBBS TUSCANY WOOL BATTING

GOOD FOR Garments & all-season bed quilts

21474 Twin $32.99 21475 Queen $42.99 21476 King $63.99 OUR PICK This batting is made from high-quality polyester, needle-punched into a thin base that holds the fibers in place, keeping the batting even and consistent.

P O LYE STE R BATTIN G Polyester is lightweight, but very durable. It is machine washable and dryable, and has a high loft, making it a great choice for those that want to show off their quilting.

SOFT & BRIGHT POLYESTER

GOOD FOR Making your quilting POP!

21812 Queen $18.99 21813 King $31.99

BL ACK B ATTIN G Black batting is used to give your dark quilts a richer, deeper color. Use under dark fabrics to eliminate white fibers poking through your quilt top.

OUR PICK Black-dyed cotton provides quilters a dark batting that will not show through a dark quilt top.

HOBBS HEIRLOOM 80/20 BLACK COTTON 20826 Queen $22.99 21654 King $37.99
