Welcome to Ruby Street Quiltworks

Dear Jane Open House

Join members of “Dear Jane and the Sampler Society” at Ruby Street Quiltworks on Wednesday, March 31, from 10 - 6 for an Open House. Members will gather to share their work on Dear Jane quilts, or other reproduction sampler projects such as Dear Hannah or the Farmers Wife. Members are happy to answer questions or help prospective new members get started. Feel free to stop by and check out the work in progress or stay and work on your own sampler project. New members are always welcome. Regular meetings of “Dear Jane and the Sampler Society” are the last Wednesday of each month from 6:30 - 8:30pm. Images of the FINISHED! Dear Jane quilt are shown with the permission of dear friend, talented quiltmaker and fellow Tuesday, Anne Bell.

Outback

This gorgeous quilt features fabrics from Jinny Beyer’s new collection “Outback.” The intense colors, and sophisticated, nature-inspired graphics are classic Jinny Beyer but this collection, is infused with the spirit of the Australian Outback. The collection includes a fabulous dotted ombre stripe, swirling feathers, Aboriginal motifs and Jinny’s signature border stripes with an ethnic twist. Three colorways capture the blues of the Great Barrier Reef, the red of Ayer’s Rock and the lush greens of the wet season. See swatches of the entire collection and images of the quilt in all three colorways by clicking here. The quilt pattern is downloadable from the RJR Fabrics website and fabric for all three colorways are available at Ruby Street Quiltworks. Supplies are limited, so if you want to make the quilt come in (or call in) right away. Click here to download the pattern.

Rio Grande

This collection by Terry Mangat is the most fun collection we have ever had in the shop. It is full of sunshine and rainbows. Here, earth meets sky and rocks turn into clouds. The Rio Grande runs through it like a skein of imagination. It is embellished with people: in rafts, kayaks and fishing waders. They ride bikes, soak in hot springs and make out. Rich in color and imagery, this line is fabulous for bags, quilts, aprons, fishing shirts (check out these trout!) picnic table covers and napkins to cover your lap while eating fish. Make a flower skirt and live or relive the summer of peace, love and fabric. Click here to see our selections. 

Poppies!

We are excited to have Pamela Mostek's quilt "Poppies" in the shop, along with her new collection called ... hey ... "Poppies!" These fabrics are bright and in-your-face bold. Click here to see the whole collection. Pamela is a quilter herself, known for her use of vibrant color, bold design, and a variety of fibers and threads. A visit to her website is well worth the trip. You will be inspired by her talent and WOWed by her use of color and surface texture. Click here to check it out. Best of all Pam is a fellow Washingtonian and Grandma. She lives in Cheney, Washington, with her husband and is the proud mother of two daughters and grandmother of four grandchildren.
