Hello, everyone! Hope everyone is working hard on all of your quilting projects!! I have been sewing some new shop samples lately and love it when I get the bindings on! I happen to have several with us at retreat this weekend at Maryvale, or at least Barb does. I'm at Emmett's at the moment playing tractors and giving horsey rides when he's not napping ;-). Today is Megan & Alex's Anniversary, so I'm hoping to make them a dutch apple dessert to celebrate. I had time before I lost my previous email...
February 17th-19th~ We will be vending at Camp of the Cross in Garrison.
February 23rd-26th~ We will be vending at the Abbey in Richardton.
March 17th-18th~ Minot Quilt Festival

Hello, everyone! I hope you are having a wonderful start to your new year! So far the weather seems to dictate which direction I do or do not go each day... Which is normal for the end of January, so it could be a long Winter or bring Spring that much closer. I sure don't envy those who live in Alaska these days... Well after much consideration and reflection, I have decided to not continue with our beloved Top Your Table Club or Designer Quilt Clubs. I am hoping to incorporate new ideas as we go another direction this year. Change is good, and we hope to come up with new alternatives. Thank you for 15 years of fun & inspiration!
Up next so far... January 18th~ Carrington Quilt Guild Christmas Party!
February 1st~ Embroidery Club- We will be working on the Candy Cane Lane Bench Pillow so we can be ready for the Spring Showers Quilt project to come in...
February 13th (edited)~ Our 16th Annual Football Widow's Sale
February 15th~ Carrington Quilt Guild
March 31st-April 3rd~ Crystal Springs Retreat ...registration is open!
Here's an Emmett pic! He is such a sweet little guy! I so enjoy my time with him. :-) I love when he sees me each week and gives me the biggest smile. Facetime is a game changer these days too! Where was this when our kids were little? Our parents were robbed!!
And with that be sure to check out our New Arrivals! Featured below... Park Royal from Holly Taylor's Change of Seasons fabrics and Doug Leko's Tabletastic 2 book.
Stay tuned, stay warm & sew on!

Hello, everyone! Holy smokes for snow! I hope you are all home safe and sewing... I know my guys had to drive across the yard and in the field to get to the road here (we now have a Bev shortcut - haha!). He figures at least 10", but when it comes from the east it's hard to tell as it gives us nice 4 foot drifts. Here's to hoping mother nature got that out of her system...
Here's an Emmett pic! We ended up rerouting the strand... He learns something new each week. Last week was reaching for everything. My favorite was him gently feeling the garland on the tree through his fingers. Can't wait to see what this week brings! Santa came Saturday morning, and mom and dad were in bed because he (we) had a rough night so gramma and grandpa let him open a present all by himself! I didn't think he would do as well as he did at 6 months but he removed all of the paper.
Up next, closing out 2021... December 28th~ Designer Quilt Club- 2021 Finale Meeting to begin at 6:00pm. Must be present to win the Grand Door Prize!
And then on to 2022!
And with that be sure to check out our New Arrivals! Featured below... Gnomes 'Twas The Night Before.
Thank you for your business in 2021 and we are looking forward to a wonderful new year full of quilting!

Hello, everyone! Well, Summer weather is finally here and I have been taking advantage of the outdoors being at home most of the time. I'm still trying to figure out the new system we have implemented and it's throwing me several curve balls. Some days I feel like this old dog doesn't like new tricks... But instead I tuck and roll to the best of my ability.
I just thought I'd let you know that Designer Fabrics is changing our open days to Monday-Wednesday-Friday through June 1st and will be reevaluating those days on June 1st.
We have still been receiving our shipments of new goods into the shop, even though we haven't had regular hours since March 17th. So there is quite a bit more finding it's way into the shop and more to come! Keep in mind everything is available online at www.quiltdesignerfabrics.com! I do believe Christmas is on it's way!! Along with new notions and fabric, We have several new samples as well!! I am still working on changing out finding new spaces to hang them, but the kits are available!
Please give us a call at 701-652-3535 if you have any questions. Or, if you are still unsure of coming in the shop, we will continue our curbside pickup or Carrington delivery. Thank you for your patience as we find our new normal at Designer Fabrics! We will be open on Monday, May 25th from 10-5. Please have a safe Memorial Weekend!
| Keep On Quilting!! |

Hello, Everyone!Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from our house to yours!! One more Christmas left to celebrate for us, and the impending weather has put it on hold for one more week... It may be just winter weather, but I'd rather be safe than sorry out on the roads. The sun is shining and there are no signs of anything today, but I needed a day to play catch up with a few things anyway. Last night, Quilt Club closed our final chapter of 2019 with a wonderful surprise for a very deserving Georgianna! Thank you to everyone participating and for inspiring others to create such wonderful projects! We couldn't do this without you!! I hope you are all getting the chance to sew up some great pieces for 2020! I'll do my best to make new exciting projects to share with you as well!

Hello, Everyone!
How is everyone's Winter wonderland today? Yesterday we had North Dakota's version of a snow globe! It was pretty at the time. Our yard was blown out this afternoon, so I'm good to go once again. This morning was a bit of a shocker with the negative temps... I guess it is Winter and North Dakota. Quite the combination! So indoors it is... That's quite alright as I have several quilting projects in progress and patterns to write... I've been having a bit of fun baking cookies and plan on making some goodies tonight for tomorrow and the shop! I'm hoping to accumulate enough that I have a tray of goodies for Christmas, and the majority get eaten at the shop. So far, I'm 0 for 2 for the goodie tray. Somehow they get eaten here as fast as I pull them out of the oven. That's okay, as I don't often take the time to bake multiples. Give me a single pan of bars any day and I'm good!
Stop on in for some coffee, cider, hot cocoa and some goodies! And if you need a gift, we have several to chose from for quilters or non-quilters alike! Our retired sample rack is always available (and very full). Keep in mind most of them are lap-size and smaller... (Usually the larger ones are kept by those who made them.) I might even add to the samples available when I get a chance! We also gift wrap your purchase upon request!

Hello, Everyone!
Home once again!! I'm thankful retreat season is taking a break until mid-January. But, that means I need to catch up on events and happenings in-store! And keep up with all of the new fabrics and freight that have been streaming into the shop... There is so much good stuff out there lately and I can't seem to help myself "share" everything I find! Or maybe I have just too many squirrel moments, as I wish I could make one of everything these days. Focus. Paint my kitchen? Bind a tree skirt? Bake cookies? Put up the tree? Sew a Cuddle blanket for my Grandma Jean? Embroider some towels for gifts? Laundry? Clean the garage? Too many options and time has a way of vanishing. So tonight I'm here with you, getting all excited once again to go into the shop and find more goodies to make the season sparkle!!

OMG! These gorgeous beauties are calling my name! Sorry, I might need more than the yard of each I nabbed... The free pattern download on Henry Glass's website was cute, but not near big enough for me- bed size. Shucks! So, I'm thinking I need to come up with something wonderful... Did you hear the cogs kick into overdrive? Me too.

So how is everyone's Christmas project lists coming? Mine, not so good. I am packing and heading to our last retreat of the year in Crystal Springs this weekend and am hoping the weather cooperates with everyone's travel plans!

I'm grateful to partake in these retreats for the simple fact that I get to sew too! Here's to another wonderful weekend with wonderful quilters!!
Upcoming events...November 12th~ Top Your Table Club- We will be featuring various projects from the Trendy Table 2 book by Heather Mulder Peterson of Anka's Treasures! Meetings to begin at 5:30pm the second Tuesday of each month.

Cost to join is the purchase of the Trendy Table 2 book from Designer Fabrics!

One can never have enough Grunge in our shop... Now we have added some of Basic Grey's Grunge Metallics!! Just in time for Christmas projects!

We've also added a few tone-on-tone blacks from Timeless Treasures! Why should the white fabrics have all the fun? Great textures to add to any project!
Tonga 106" Wide Batik
It's hard to find just the right backings at times... I have a few now that may work for the last block-of-the-month (Mineral Matrix) quilt we featured! So if you're in the market for wide backings, we have several to choose from!!
Cuddle Prints
And last but not least, more new Shannon Cuddle, with more on the way- bold prints, soft textures, and a bit of glitter thrown in there!! What will they think of next??? I can't wait! Oh, and the Seal is even softer than the softest Luxe we have had!!Have a great week!!

Greetings from Designer Fabrics
Hello, Everyone!I've been a bit distracted this morning to the sights and sounds of combines running outside next to my house today! Yay! It's been a few weeks since the boys have been able to get anything off the fields. It was in the teens this morning when I heard them fire up and it has rebounded into the lower 30's. Let's hope they don't find themselves in the mud troubles everyone else has been having around here... I feel like I should be out there getting my last mowing in that I never had a chance to do. Leaves continue to fall and the snowbanks are still shrinking. Then I am reminded of how cold it is outside and decide the inside work will continue. That's alright. I need to stay on task today...
I wasn't able to make it to the Badlands Retreat due to the weather, but did manage to get out to Richardton to vend for a group of ladies a week ago. We had a great time and managed to get quite a bit done! I'm gearing up for a full house at Crystal Springs in a few weeks and need to organize my projects to work on. We have had several new samples and piles of fabric/notions/patterns make their way into the shop in the last couple of weeks. Stop on in and check it out if you're in the area!!

Hello, Everyone!Well, sounds like this will be our Indian Summer through Tuesday, then the Winter weather advisories are to begin... Please keep your local farmers in your thoughts as there is a lot of crops left out there to come off. So, perfect quilting weather, right? Time to stock up and get your projects cut out! I'm getting ready to attend the Badlands Quilt Retreat in Medora this weekend, and cutting my projects out is on my to-do list. I am quite excited to partake in a retreat and having mixed feelings of not having to haul a trailer load to set up... I have picked out 2 of the 3 projects for the classes I am taking, getting my bags packed, and feel like I am already forgetting something. Maybe when I haul as much as I do, I bring more than I need because I may be the one needing something! I won't have my safety net with me, so I may be bringing more than I actually need- just in case. I'm hoping it all fits in the Outback. My husband will be surprised that I'm not bringing a packed trailer, or maybe I should put all of my stuff in it... ;-) He knows I'm going to Medora, just not as a participant... I left that little nugget out. I love going to retreats. I get the chance to actually sew. The bonus is all of the wonderful people with similar creative passions who get to be there with you! The sharing of completely diverse but similar projects giving you a glimpse into each and every person creating them. And being able to visit with each one there. The common ground ties us each together and makes everything that much brighter! If you haven't participated in a retreat, I highly recommend them!

New in from Heather Mulder Peterson from Anka's Treasures! So far we managed to get the FQ bundles and a couple of the pieces.

Greetings from Designer Fabrics
Hello, Everyone!Happy Fall!! A bit of good news... Last Friday Megan let me go wedding dress shopping with her! And we were in luck and I made it home safely! A bit of bad news, we ended up getting close to 6" of rain that washed out the highway and submerged my gravel road to Carrington. So I have been somewhat stranded on a deserted island... as Rett says... but we have been with electricity and the fridge is stocked, so it hasn't been too bad here. Our sump pump is still running every 8 minutes and we live on a hill, but it's better than the ever minute 8 seconds it was on Saturday! I did hear that my gravel road is now above water, hence the traffic going by my house, and the pickup is getting pulled out so the road crews can rebuild the wash out. The culvert was most likely blocked by a round bale so that made the water find an alternate route taking the road with it. Oh such excitement around here! I will be back in action tomorrow in time for Club. I hope everyone had the chance to sew a Jelly Roll this weekend!! As for me, I'm on the road again this week! Stop in and see me at Crystal Springs if you are in the area Thursday-Sunday!

Greetings from Designer Fabrics
Hello, Everyone! Well, Fall is upon us and a few special blooms have been cheering up my spent gardens. Kind of a last hurrah. Sad, but I know the season changes bring on new challenges for me. Retreat season is here with our first beginning this Thursday! I am in need of a few more days to prepare myself, and that doesn't include tomorrow or Wednesday... But that seems to be the case every event we take part in. That's just part of the game I play. Time to get busy and jump in with both feet! Ready or not, here I come!
Fall is a great time to revamp my sewing room. Time to pause and take a true inventory of what I can work on at retreats, or just simply needs to get finished for a Guild UFO. The closets are full, and have been for years, but sometimes I just forget what treasures I have behind closed doors! Maybe this year, I can make a list of projects set aside that haven't made it to my UFO lists. Challenge accepted, maybe after I get this first retreat under my belt!

Hello, Everyone! Well, where do I begin... Sorry this email is getting out a week later than anticipated... My Alex ended up with a partially collapsed lung a week ago Saturday and I met him at the hospital in Fargo as I was at mom's for my class reunion since Friday. Since then I have been sitting in the hospital with him, or fetching food for us, and staying in a hotel almost every night. We are hopefully turning a corner and getting sprung tomorrow morning after the x-ray gets read and the doctors make their rounds. Thankfully, Todd brought my laptop down so I could try to get some work done when things were quiet, of which didn't happen until today after his chest tube was pulled. He is resting comfortably and I can be pretty quiet. Poor kid... Good thing I didn't know what I wanted to wear to the reunion as I packed extra clothes... I did manage to go to mom's one night and wash clothes so I could last the rest of the duration, but I'm running out once again. It will be good to get home. Todd has been holding down the fort, when he hasn't been down here, with picking an overabundance of veggies for me to tackle when I get home. So, if you are in need of slicing cucumbers and can pick them up at the shop, let me know... he's been picking a 5 gallon bucket every couple of days! He's getting the beans ready for me to can maybe on Wednesday if time allows... And don't get me started on the zucchini!
Thank you to everyone who picked up all my slack at the shop and didn't skip a beat so I could be here... I owe you all!!

Hello, Everyone! Figured I'd better get this going this morning early as I have a trip to the vet in store for me after dinner... Finn can't get up as easily as she used to. So it's time to take her in and see what's up. Just last week she was acting a bit peculiar when I would go out for walks. She would lay down on the road at the beginning of the walk and be there when I came back. The week before she went for walks and one in particular, came home and dropped two duck eggs at the end of the driveway. Who knows how far she carried them! They were in tact until she scooped them up and dropped them on the gravel the second time. "Look what I found!!" staring me in the face with her tail a wagging...
Jake still goes with me sniffing out everything along the way, but I see him looking back wondering if Finn is catching up. Today she doesn't even want to stand. Poor thing. I called the vet and they thought maybe the start of arthritis. I can so relate. Let's hope that it is something treatable. The pups will be 8 years old July 13th and are brother/sister. Oh, and speaking of birthdays... my Alex turns 26 today!! Bah humbug!! I'm getting old...

Hello, Everyone! Happy Summer!! Finding it hard to catch up with myself these days... but once again I'm back from on the road again! This time we were vending at a retreat in Richardton! We had a great time with many new friends and did manage to get outdoors and go for several walks! Something we never do in the Winter at the retreats... What a difference a few months make!

Greetings from Designer Fabrics
Hello, Everyone! Hope everyone is having a great Memorial Day! Remembering the reason for the season today & every day. Thank you to all those who gave up their lives to keep us safe and let us live our everyday lives! You are not forgotten.
With Summer nipping at the heels of Spring, hopefully the weather can make up it's mind soon. So far anything outdoors for me has been on hold, and my time has been spent quilting or planning for this Summer's events! Which isn't all bad. I did manage to finish a couple of projects for my niece's graduation and crammed in a quilt club project recently... It's only going to be downhill from here (Ya right), maybe for May. As the calendar gets ready to turn another page, the roller coaster begins for another month, and I've been trying to incorporate some "Special Days" into our lineup.
Upcoming events...May 28th~ Designer Quilt Club- Meetings to begin at 6:00pm the LAST Tuesday of each month. Cost for the year is $19.00. "Cook's Choice" theme for this year... It could be a little bit of this, or a little bit of that... But mostly a whole lot of fun!!

Kringle & Claus
Ready for it... Christmas is in full swing! Let's just hope the weather doesn't get the memo... New in are pieces of Basic Grey's latest group Kringle & Claus! (The precuts have yet to arrive...)
Cuddle Digital Print
And last but not least, this beautiful piece from Shannon Fabrics trickled in! We are planning on pairing it with the gorgeous cardinal panel we have in stock! They have come a long way from when cuddle/minkee first hit the stores! Now they are digitally printing on cuddle! And the result is just stunning!Have a great week!!
Until next time, Happy Quilting!! Jackie

Greetings from Designer Fabrics
Hello, Everyone! Back from Fargo... what a great show! We had a little hiccup with the laptop crashing before Saturday's opening, so I am behind the eight ball trying to get my old laptop up and running and equipped with everything I need to run this ship. Today has been a bit frustrating and rewarding... All of my new to come pics I saved once upon a time didn't get transferred to the USB stick so I have had to redo everything that has come into the shop the last couple of weeks. On the other hand, I was able to retrieve all of Friday's transactions from the Fargo Show! Whew! I was beginning to have the girls start to do inventory on each department so we could get them up to date in the shop. Ugh! I am very thankful for my computer minded son of mine for having the knowledge and capability of getting my hard drive information off the crashed laptop! I am not tech savvy, and am challenged severely when things don't work. I still have several things to get back up and running, but I'll tackle them as they are needed. For now, we will concentrate on keeping up with the fabrics that are flowing into the shop over the next month or so... If you didn't get a chance to check out our latest samples/kits at the Fargo Show, stop in as it may be a bit until I get them uploaded to the website. I first need to find/retake all of the pictures. Wish me luck!
All the NEW items into the shop & the Events reminders are being posted so you can keep track of us on Facebook! Just in case you don't have extra time to peruse the website & want a general overview of what has been happening!! I'll try & post pictures of our whereabouts when possible!!

Hello, Everyone! April Fools!! Let's hope this will be the finale of late Winter for 2019...
On a better note... we have been busy bees at the shop readying ourselves for the Fargo Show this weekend!! New samples are getting crossed off my list every day! I would love to finish at least two more samples before I head out, but I haven't even started them. And with Quilt Club tomorrow, the chances are getting slim. I have a feeling our booth will be overflowing with projects hot off the press and new to the shop! So I apologize now for it being slightly more that full. But, I just want to share everything with you!! Hope to see you soon! In fact, stop into see me at the show and bring in a coupon found HERE and get 15% off one item!

Hello, Everyone! Sounds like Spring is in a holding pattern for this week... So out for a walk a couple of times I went today. I was hoping the colors of the sky would be as awesome as I saw them in real life! What a difference a week makes. We still have some huge snow mounds in the yard and tree rows, but they are shrinking. Yay! Now if the weather stays south of us. I may need to go somewhere there is better weather if it gets close... Richardton, you'd better have good weather!!
With a couple of retreats taking up my time away from the shop, I did a bit of Spring cleaning as promised and there is a bigger collection in the clearance! Tomorrow or Wednesday I have plans to add more bolts back there too! We have tons of new fabric coming in and I need more empty shelves to accommodate them!

Limoncello
New in... A lovely group from Benartex! They have a bit of pearl shimmer to them also for an added bonus! Also in are a few pieces of Dragonfly Dance from Benartex!A few new bolts of Later Alligator from Sandy Gervais for Moda.
And we just can't seem to have enough basics... so new in are a few bolts of Concrete also from Moda.
Vibrant Garden
A couple of pieces that caught my eye were from this group by Lynnea Washburn for Robert Kaufman. Whether you keep the panel whole, or pick up several and make yourself a stunning stack & whack quilt, you can't go wrong!!Also from Robert Kaufman, new batiks!
Little One 2
This sweet group of nostalgia is sure to make a child's favorite quilt! Odd story on this group as I was entering it online... In elementary school, I had a classmate- Rebecca Baer. I remember her well as we were a couple of the youngest in the class with Summer birthdays. She moved somewhere in the years before junior high and we lost contact. Fast forward to a few years ago, through Facebook, I was in touch with her once again. Sadly, she had a tragic accident and is gone. The designer of this Little One 2 group is also Rebecca Baer. I'm grateful for the reminder of the memories of her that I keep.
Fat Quarter Bundles
And last but not least, bundles and pre-cuts of all kinds!!Have a great week!!
Until next time, Happy Quilting!! Jackie

Hello, Everyone! Well, vacation is over... Time to get back into the real world and retreat-mode! Paperwork and bindings have been on my counter for the last week and I'm tackling as much as I can.

It's amazing what a little sunshine can do for the soul.
