News to Use from RQ March 1st

Hello Everyone,

We're going to "spring" into action this March and empty out those scrap bags, baskets, buckets, boxes, tubs, totes, trucks....you get the idea. Let's turn those scraps into beautiful finished projects! Learn more about how we're helping you "clean out the scrap" during March by reading below.

Stop into RQ during the next few weeks to see a quilt display featuring the Girl's Night Out fabric collection by Terri Degenkolb of Whimsicals. We are excited to have these gorgeous quilts on display! On to the news...

 What's New at RQ

We are welcoming a new designer to RQ this week, Shelly Cavanna of Cora's Quilts has designed the gorgeous Gloaming for Contempo Fabrics. Turquoise, lime green, and mulberry colored prints are a unique combination sure to pop in your next quilt. One of the best things about Shelly's new collection is the amazing patterns she created to accompany them! We'll be kitting a few of the patterns she has available which can be found on the RQ Website. 

Lakeside by Whistler Studio for Windham Fabrics has arrived at RQ. The featured panel is approximately one yard and is digitally printed for great clarity. Combine the panel with the allover duck print and rich plaid coordinates to create a wall hanging for the cabin or lake house. 

Are you seeing stars? We have four new patriotic prints by Whistler Studios for Windham Fabrics. Brave and Free features red, white, and blue stars and eagles with flags. Great additions to your next QOV project! Also, now available is a patriotic extra wide backing featuring the American Flag for those large projects.
