Strip Club

Make plans to attend our next Strip Club demo at 10:30 a.m. on Saturday, April 28. See how easy it is to make strip quilts using the Strip Tube method. Here's a sneak peek of this month's project. Kits available on a first come, first serve basis.

Hip New Flannel

New flannel has arrived sporting the new color of the year - Gray! Gray is the new 'black' and we've paired it up with navy, green and white for a fresh new look. Perfect for baby quilts that are stylin'!

Chalkboard Wall Quilt

Need a great idea for graduation gifts? How about a chalk board quilt? Purchase the chalkboard fabric and get the pattern for this chalkboard wall quilt free. Can't you see this gracing the dorm room door of your favorite college-bound student? Wouldn't it look good in K-State fabric? OK, we'll admit, it would look great in KU fabric as well! :)

It's Here!

The Prairie Stars Quilt Shop Hop is underway! Here's a peek at our tabletop displays/demos filled with new tools, techniques and ideas. Be sure to check it out during the shop hop!

New Sunflower Quilt

A new sample quilt arrived from the designer just in time for the shop hop. We made kits today and can't wait for you to see it!

Athill Prairie

We're rearranging fabric today to make room for Moda's latest collection, Athill Range, that arrived earlier this week. Look at the beautiful pattern that came with the fabric. Hmmm, maybe those UFOs will have to wait a little longer because this looks so much more fun to make!

Athill Range

Another new collection from Moda arrived yesterday and we are busy cutting fat quarters today. Athill Range by Cabbage and Roses is full of vintage English charm with just the right amount of colour,  divided into tiny, medium and larger scale prints. Hmmm, we're already dreaming of what shabby chic projects we can make!

Spring has Sprung!

It's starting to look like spring in the shop with the new fabric lines arriving.  One of the latest to arrive is "In the Meadow" by Quilting Treasures.  Fun, modern prints in pinks and greens make up this cute quilt that we're in the process of kitting.  Reserve your kit today!

"Amish Stars" Shop Hop Quilt

Our 2012 Shop Hop quilt is complete and hanging in the shop. This year's shop hop quilts feature star blocks in an Amish theme. You have to see our quilt in person to really appreciate it and the custom feather quilting! Each of the shop's star block kits are $5 and our finishing kit is $70. Finished quilt is 88" x 88". We hope you'll join the fun and participate in the Prairie Stars Shop Hop April 12 -21. Visit all the shops to have your passport stamped and turn it in to be entered into the drawing for a Bernetta 25 sewing machine! For more details visit www.prairiestarsquiltshophop.com

Papillon by 3 Sisters for Moda

Last spring while perusing an antique market in Europe, the sisters made a most exciting discovery. An antique quilt from the 1860s with a very unique backing comprised of bold, simple bands of large, faded florals to die for! Feeling quite inspired, the sisters scoured their vast library of antique fabrics to complete their next collection. The dramatic Jacobean and rose ado...rned florals are complimented by the occasional Papillon, which is French for butterfly. Paired with delicate botanical prints in the quilt’s original palette of pale, dusty pinks and aquas with faded red and stone accents, Papillon captures all the splendor of a lush garden estate. Come in to see the entire collection of fabrics, precuts & kits!

Fisherman Like Quilts Too!

So why don't you make the fisherman in your life a quilt for his (or her) birthday, graduation, or other special event (Father's Day will be here before you know it!). And we have the perfect fabric - Rod & Reel by VIP Exclusive. Stop by and hook a few before they're all gone!

Spring Has Sprung!

Spring is starting to arrive at the shop! "Dainty Blossoms" by Riley Blake is the first collection to blossom - a young and fresh collection of prints in aqua blues, greens, and pinks. These prints are great for bags, aprons, quilts & more!

Here's just one fun quilt idea using the pinks and greens in the collection....

Stop in to see the entire collection soon!
