We have talented designers we carry and the experience is exciting for us because it means we get to be a part of each release that comes out. We often say that there are two sides here at QBPN: the business side (i.e. preparing things for pre-orders, communicating with customers after a purchase, and more) and the creative side (i.e. selling a wonderful product made by a designer who had an idea to create something new). As part of our continued effort to keep QBPN fresh and exciting in the United States, we've spent months working on our website: redesigning, adding features, changing how we do things, taking feedback from our customers, and more to make your visit as comfortable as possible.

Quilters Paradise
In choosing a quilting pattern, think of the kind of pattern that you want. There must be an idea in your head of what your quilt will look like. Determine the colors and the type of materials that you want to use for your quilt. What the reason why you will be making it in the first place. Will you use in as cover for your pillow or comforter, will you be wearing it, something to hang on your wall or will it be given as a gift for someone? Choose pastel colors if it's for a children. Make there are also designs specific for special occasions such as Christmas or thanksgiving.
When making a handmade quilt, a person is not only producing a thing of beauty, but they are also demonstrating their expertise in the skills required to make such an object. A well produced handmade quilt will show the love as well as the personality of the person who has produced it and this is reinforced by the quilting fabric they choose to use to make the quilt with.
When it comes to choosing the fabric for making a quilt this is one of the most important consideration a quilter has to think about. The actual fabric that they choose will be dependent upon what the quilt will be used for. Often quilts which are for a small child or baby will be made in a variety of pastel colors, whilst a decorative quilt will often include much bolder colors within the design.
Not only is the color of the quilting fabric important, but also its texture. Whether you want yours to be soft and supple or bold or warm plus cozy or just smooth and sophisticated the choice is up to you. However the fabric which is chosen will help to provide some idea of the person's personality who actually made the quilt. Today many quilters prefer to use cotton as it is easy to look after and maintain.
But as well as the color and texture of the material a quilter needs to take into consideration the actual quality of the material they are planning to use. So if you want to enjoy your quilt for years to come then you must make sure the material is of the highest quality possible. Although it is quite easy to purchase quilting fabric online it is not always of the best quality possible, so take your time to check everything out thoroughly.
A great way of ensuring that you get the best quality quilting fabric possible from an online company is to order swatches of the fabric you are interested in and examine it close up to check out the quality.

The fabric of choice for quilt making is 100% cotton. It is very easy to work with and durable. Today we are extremely lucky to have the selection of cottons that are on the market. I am always amazed at the number of bolts of fabric produced to feed our passion, and make our dream creations come to life. The fabric stash has become a point of pride for a great many quilt makers. A good friend refers to it as her retirement account; it will surely be more valuable as time goes by. My fabric stash just seems to grow on its own. I usually just buy fabrics that appeal to me at the time with the philosophy that everything will eventually go together in some fashion.
