I’m thrilled to introduce you to my very first sponsor, my local quilt shop located in Belfast, Maine–Fiddlehead Artisan Supply. Fiddlehead Artisan Supply is a family-owned sewing, quilting, and craft-supply shop in beautiful midcoast Maine. In addition to a great selection of modern quilting cottons, patterns, thread, and notions, Fiddlehead offers a wide range of other craft supplies all within one of the most aesthetically pleasing shops I’ve visited. It’s a haven for makers. Just for my readers, Fiddlehead is offering 15% off anything in their online shop with the code nightquilter15%.
To kick-off our partnership, Abby at Fiddlehead invited me to curate a bundle of low volume fabrics, AND is offering a bundle as a giveaway to one of my readers. I love low volume fabrics, since they are so versatile in quilting and just about anything. There’s nothing like a scrappy low volume background to help colors pop.
This bundle of eight (8) fat quarters includes (clockwise from top):
– Music in Neutral by Tim Holtz Eclectic Elements
Just for fun, and since I have a baby shower to attend this weekend, I decided to whip up a quick project using this bundle. I made a one hour basket (free pattern by Kelby Sews) using the fabrics from this bundle and some scraps of Alison Glass’s Sun Prints Grove.
The recipient of this basket hasn’t found out the gender of her baby, so I thought the sleek low volumes and pops of color were the perfect combination.
The basket is the perfect size to hold diapers and wipes, or just about any other newborn essentials.
To enter the giveaway today, simply share what you love about your local quilt shop. If you don’t have a local quilt shop that fits your style, tell me what you look for in a fabric shop. Leave a comment and make sure I’m able to get ahold of you if you win. If you’re a follower of Night Quilter, leave a second comment telling me how you follow for a second entry. Like Fiddlehead Artisan Supply on Facebook or subscribe to their newsletter and tell me how you followed them for a third entry.
This giveaway is open to US and international participants. The giveaway will be open until 8pm Wednesday 5/27 when I’ll select the winner randomly with random.org. Good luck! Note: This giveaway is now closed! Congratulations to Mary!
If you just can’t wait to get your hands on this low volume bundle, it can be purchased HERE. And, if you’re like me and like to support family run small businesses, feel free to take a virtual vacation to midcoast Maine and visit Fiddlehead Artisan Supply’s online shop: Fiddlehead is offering 15% off for all of my readers through June 21st–use code nightquilter15%. Of course a vacation in person is preferred–if you do that, let me know and I’ll meet you for coffee and fabric shopping in Belfast!
I’m linking up with Crazy Mom Quilts Finish it up Friday, since I’ve got this adorable one hour basket finish ready for the baby shower this weekend. Many thanks to Fiddlehead Artisan Supply!

My LQS has a great range of fabrics. What I like is that they don’t cluster fabric lines together – rather they group fabrics by colour. That way, I find some amazing coordinating fabrics that I might not have stumbled across on my own.

Wow, I never knew. Those low volume fabrics really made this bag. I will need to try this. I am sure the mother to be will love your bag.

I am very fortunate to have three lqs near me. Each one is different. The Modern Bee is full of all these Modern fabrics I am seeing as I peek out from my comfort box! Kindered Spirits is a shop that has a nice mix of Batiks children’s and Modas. The Quilting Bee is found in a beautiful Log Cabin and has been featured as a Top 10 Quilt Shops to visit. Kelly the owner is an amazing long arm artist and dealer. She carries Laundry Basket, Modas and Cival war to name a few. The best part about these shops is their talented staff. So I am one lucky Quilter!

Congratulations on your first sponsor! How cool is that! The thing I like about my favorite lqs is that they are always friendly and ready to help me find just the right fabric. They’ll even search in the back if we can’t find something that is out on the shelves. They are just super nice people.

Unfortunately, I don’t have a local quilt shop; but I was in Washington Maine in October and visited a lovely little quilt shop in a nearby town on Rte 3 on the way to Belfast. It was for sale along with the house next door. I finished my 1 hour basket last weekend and thought it would make a great baby room basket! I’ve signed up for the New Bloggers Hop, hope to be in touch with you there. We’ll be going back to Maine again this October, maybe we can meet up 🙂 Congrats on your sponsor!

I’m lucky enough to have 2 local quilt shops! Although with limited selection and still catering for the much older quilters, they are slowly but surely getting more modern fabric in stock. I love that I can go there with an idea in my head or paper, if they are lucky, and that they help me to put it together.
