Quilt Shows and More

Karol and I just returned from the Quilt Expo in Madison, WI. This is a wonderful show and should be on everyone's list of quilt shows to attend. We debuted two new quilts at the show. "Fan Dance" was made by Polly North. This is a beautiful quilt with a black background and fans made from Kaffe Fassest fabrics. The other new quilt is designed by Lori Allison called "Fruit Cake". It is a personal favorite of mine. I love the combination of reds and greens. The addition of the prairie points gives this quilt a special finish. Both patterns can be found at the shop. You can call us at 952) 934-5307 or email us at sampler@qwestoffice.net. Be sure to visit our website http://www.the-sampler.com/ for all the latest fabrics, patterns and kits. You can also find information on all the upcoming classes for fall. I am especially looking forward to the new Amazing Sewing Race-North America starting in January 2009. Happy stitching, Mary
