Quilt Kits, the perfect gift for someone else or you!

I have been banging my head on a project I want to do for my daughters bedroom, She is fussy and like a typical 9 year old girl she likes the pinks and purples. I have been to six quilt stores and nothing seems to fit what I am looking for. So after two months of searching I finally decided to have her pick a kit online rather then stacking bolts and putting them back. She picked a Shabby kit, lots of Cottage Chic fabrics in it…. I am patiently awaiting its arrival in the mail. The pattern looks simple enough and the fabrics look beautiful. Now I am kicking myself for not just getting a kit earlier. Sometimes it is the best way to go and can end up being a lot less expensive and stressful. I find when I am picking things for family members(family members that I like anyways) or for myself I just spend hours on end until my head is about ready to burst. Will update the post when the kit arrives. I cant wait! We are totally doing a much needed re-do on my daughters bedroom and picking out the fabrics have been holding us back.
TIP:
One thing I did do is pick a King Size Quilt kit(my daughters bed is actually just a full size bed) but I figured that would give me room for error and possibly a couple throw pillows or valances if I do not make any mistakes. Total cost of kit was $65.00 on ebay…not to shabby

I love to fabric shop but in todays economy paying $9 dollars and higher per yard can really become expensive, and you will find you can easily spend hundreds of dollars to make a quilt.
I find myself buying more and more fabric on Ebay. Ebay really seems to be where I am finding the best deals when I need to purchase fabrics. Here is a link to our personal store: Funtastic Fabrics You will find other products from other sellers I enjoy throughout our web page.

Another great way to save is to sign up for your favorite websites newsletter. When they get desperate for money the newsletters fly. I just picked up a queen size quilt kit from my favorite website for $32.00 using all Moda Fabrics.

Tip # 3 is to just ask your local quilt shop if they offer discounts. Most shops will give a 10%-15% discount to quilt guild members. Not a member? Ask your shop if there is a local guild and join. Being a guild member is not only fun but it can save on the cost of your fabric.

Happy Quilting,
Jen
