Maine Quilts 2016 is coming right up! If you've never been to this quilt show, please don't miss it. It's chock-full of quilts on display, rows and rows of them. Workshops, classes, special exhibits, vendors, food concessions.

The event takes place July 29-31 at the Augusta Civic Center in Augusta, Maine.

The Fabric Garden is happy to again be the Platinum Sponsor of the show, sponsoring the "Lupines On My Mind" challenge, Children's Classes, loan of machines for classes, and other donations.

Congratulations to Rhonda Jankovich,
Maine's first Row by Row Experience Winner!

We were thrilled that Rhonda Jankovich again chose our store to drop off her winning Row By Row Experience quilt, for the 3rd year in a row. This was her year, she came bright and early and was the first winner in the state of Maine. Way to go, Rhonda!

Her quilt is beautiful, and includes rows from The Fabric Garden, Mainely Sewing, On Board Fabrics, Pinwheels Quilting, Country Creations, Alewives Fabrics, Mystic Maine Quilts, and Attic Heirlooms.

Because she completed the quilt with 8 rows, according to Row by Row Experience guidelines, she won our prize of a 25 fat quarter pack. And since she also included our row, she received a bonus prize!

There are still so many shops who have their prizes ready for the taking!

See Row by Row Experience for more details.

Blue Barn
by Laundry Basket Quilts for Moda

Serene tones of blues and creams in beautiful prints and textures.

Done in two lines: Cotton Batiks and and Cotton Screenprints. Both stunning.

The inspiration for the fabrics, from the designer:

"The inspiration behind this collection is to experience something unexpected. A barn is quite often red and part of a summer theme but I happened to stumble across a blue barn in the middle of winter. I was immediately drawn to how the blues and greys contrasted against the white background of the winter snow. My "Blue Barn" collection captures this delicate winter palette - it's perfect for creating beautiful quilted memories in scraps of family fun and fabrics." Laundry Basket Quilts
