Texture Magic

The Crazy Quilters of Cape Cod are having the opening reception for their show, Quilts & 3-D Exhibit, sponsored by the Falmouth Artist Guild, today from 2:00 to 4:00. The show will run through December 6. The address is 137 Gifford Street, Falmouth. For directions and further info see their website

Mary Hamilton, from Superior Threads, was at the shop on Wednesday to show us a new product called Texture Magic. Here she is showing us a purse she made with the product. It's hard to see in the photos, but the purse is completely textured. Very cool!
It's so easy to do! You take a piece of the Texture Magic and machine quilt it to your fabric. Stipple, do grids, however you want to do it. Then steam it with a steam iron or steamer. The Texture Magic magically shrinks the fabric to form great texture!
It's really fast.
She showed us lots of examples. It was interesting to see.
We will be getting Texture Magic in the shop soon. I can't wait to play!
