Hello! It's been quite a long, cold winter and we've kept things perking along at The Round Bobbin!  http://www.roundbobbinquilts.com/  We've had so many great classes and the projects that are being made are amazing!  Our students/customers are so talented!

New fabric lines have been arriving daily, it's so much fun to see the UPS guy bringing the boxes in and see what's come in!  We've got many Reproduction fabrics from Moda http://www.unitednotions.com/un_main.nsf/main?openpage and Andover http://www.andoverfabrics.com/.  Our latest BOM is from Marcus Fabrics and is called Civil War Melodies http://www.marcusbrothers.com/cgi-bin/fabricgallery/gallery.cgi?Category=671#.USeRyY5OkTM . The fabrics in this quilt are amazing and Sue E. has been holding a class each month to help you along with the piecing and the history of the quilt.

We've been doing some re-arranging to make your fabric discoveries more fun and of course the Batiks, Children's prints, Solids, Brights and every other fabric are here, like eye candy. Come see the samples to be inspired, wrap yourself in the array of colors and play with the fabric to make a uniquely you beautiful quilt, table runner or tote!

March brings the hope of spring and warmer weather, crocus blooming and birds singing and to help us along we've got Donna Lynn Thomas  http://www.donnalynnthomas.com/ coming to teach us a new technique from her book Flip Your Way to Fabulous Quilts  http://www.shopmartingale.com/flip-your-way-to-fabulous-quilts.html?cPath=1_16&products_id=1142.  Her gorgeous quilt, Blackford's Blue is the quilt that will be taught for the workshop on Thursday, March 21. Please take a look and join us for a fun and educational day with Donna!

On Saturday, March 23rd, Donna will be with us again to share her latest book, Patchwork Palette     http://www.donnalynnthomas.com/Patchwork_Palette.html.  Donna will have a trunk show with many of the gorgeous quilts in the book and as an added bonus she will demo the Ruler that she has debuting at Spring Quilt Market, the On-Point Ruler. The On-Point ruler is being made by Omnigrid http://www.roundbobbinquilts.com/module/class.htm?classId=33793  and will make setting on point blocks a breeze! Come on over and see for yourself from the designer and get your On Point ruler pre-ordered at The Round Bobbin!

That's just a few of the things I wanted to share today, out One year anniversary is coming up and we have so may wonderful things planned, more BOM's and great classes and so many wonderful books, patterns, samples and fabrics coming. Be sure to stop in and be surrounded with beautiful fabrics and so much wonderful talent from our staff and teachers!

We are here to help you with any project!  The Round Bobbin Quilt Shop wants to be your quilting destination shop!
