The Women of Gee's Bend

A small remote community in Alabama (pop. 700), represents the genius of a group of exceptional quilters who, for more than a century, have created distinctive works of art for their homes and families. The textile artists of Gee's Bend are the inheritors of a tradition that goes back many generations. The "discovery" of these unique American masterpieces has led to their exhibition in museums including The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, The Whitney Museum of American Art, New York and The Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, among others.

Windham Fabrics is proud to partner with the Gee's Bend Quilters Collective ad present The Quilts of Gee's Bend. It is out pleasure to encourage every quilter to be inspired by the vision and courage of the modern quilting pioneers, and create their own masterpiece

If you’re a quilter and spend any time with an Iron then this Oliso is for you!

We were in need of an Iron, we had been using a Rowenta for years, we were at our wits ends with it.
I did some research on the web and came across the Oliso Irons, boy am I glad I did!! We love this Iron, and if you spend any time pressing either clothes or piecing quilts then you will love it too! I promise you!

This is what it has:
iTouch technology digitally activates the patented wide scorch guards that lift the iron on and off the fabric. Double duty deep penetrating heat allows pressing through multiple layers at once. Triple Play Extreme Micro-Fine Steam System offer continuous steam and horizontal and vertical bursts of steam. Quad auto shut-off. Ergonomic design. Digital temperature control, zero-drip system and 12.7 oz. side-fill water tank. 1600 watts.

This model will retail on our website for $140.00. I will be adding them to our cart as soon as they are available to purchase.


Any day spent sewing, is a good day!

THE GYPSY GRIPPER

The must have tool for quilters! It can sometimes be a real challenge to hold your ruler in just the right spot while cutting fabric. The Gypsy Gripper has a comfortable grip handle, and two large round suction cups with handy lock and release levers. Just press the suction cup to any plastic or metal ruler that is at lease 4" wide, including most retangle, square or triangle shapes, then flip the levers to lock in place. When you want to change rules just flip the levers to release. Now you can move the ruler quickly and hold it in just the right position. Your ruler hand will be up and out of harm's way. The finger guides in the sculptured handle make The Gypsy Gripper easy to postition and comfortable to hold, even during the longest cutting sessions. A dream come true!

GET A GRIP AND RULE YOUR RULERS!

Go to www.nanascapobeachquilting.com to purchase your Gyspy Gripper before they are all gone!

Any day spent sewing, is a good day!
