Dear friend of KISSed Quilts,
 April 1 - May 30, 2026 - All Pacific NW Shop Hop --includes Washington, Oregon and Idaho participating shops and is happening NOW. We are half way through this event and we're having great results. Thanks to everyone who has come by to date. Still have a few magazines with all the details, passport, Shop Hop Hours just for Shop hoppers, etc. We'd love to get you started!
SPECIAL EXTENDED SHOP HOP HOURS: Monday - Friday: 9am - 5pm
Shop Hop Sunday May 17 - Hours: 11am - 4pm or by appt.
SUMMER HOURS Starting June 1 Monday - Friday: 10am - 4pm or by appt. Closed Friday sundown to Saturday sundown.
In the magazine are 5 patterns and others are available on their website. We've still got most of the fabric collections. So yardage and panels can be purchased. Above right is Pacfic NW Nights --my design. I have a limited number of kits available. You're welcome to purchase on-line to be shipped or pick-up later or come in soon and get one.
With the Riley Blake Collection (middle/lighter colors pic) featured for the shop hop, I've designed a setting that incorporates the panel and the block designs you are receiving at each shop. This version includes the pieced blocks from our region (8 shops) to show how you don't have to do all 126 and still make something nice. Three rounds of blocks would be 90 blocks. The version made up allows up to 52 blocks. I've got one kit left for Flower Fields (middle pic) and patterns are available for download or as a printed pattern. One round of blocks would include 22. FYI: Oregon has 51 shops; Washington has 53 and Idaho has 22.
Block Pattern Giveaway from KISSed Quilts - Fabrics for the block (show below left) also available for a small fee, as a kit. I'm also including some other ideas/versions that you could do with this Dear Washington collection. 5" cut for the smaller mosaic style border and 9" finished larger block single border or triple border.

I've got a couple of binders still available, pouches and stickers.
Shop here for all things shop hop!
LOST AND FOUND: Did you lose an English Paper Piecing Template covered with fabric and many needles on it? Describe the fabric and it's yours!
SHOP UPDATE We have the long-arm moved into the new space now and the entire perimeter has quilts hung.

With more space, please let us know if you are missing access to certain types of items that would make sense for us to keep on hand for your shopping needs.
NEW PRODUCTS I've recently added 1-1/2" Satin Ribbon to our selection of 5/8" and 7/8" ribbon. This week lots of OLFA mats and cutters as well as a variety of Clover notions will also arrive.
If you need denim or linen I've also got these fabrics that you may wish to use for garment making as well.
See details below for other fabrics that have arrived.
SPECIAL REQUEST We would love it if you could leave us a great review on Google. The reviews there will help the algorithm. https://maps.app.goo.gl/gb43K7hLAiGWGUft6

CLASSES / SEW-INS
What classes are you interested in taking? Let me know if you'd like a beginner class? Just the 1st chapter of my book? How about a year long class...either 1 day a month or 3 - 1.5 hr sessions per month going through the entire book. We used to do this every other year and I hope to get back to that soon.
The classroom isn't quite ready but hopefully by mid summer we can start doing classes.
Just want a place to sew on a regular basis? I am entertaining the idea of different days... piecing, machine embroidery, hand work, etc. Let me know your thoughts. Particular days that are better for you?
If you've seen my social media [https://www.facebook.com/kissedquilts or https://www.instagram.com/marlene.kissedquilts recently, you've noticed my posts about Prolon -- a scientifically designed nutritional 5-day program that mimicks doing a water fast...but you get to eat! Just 5 days in a month...then wait 25 days before doing it again. Order your box with this affiliate link www.prolonlife.com/oddie for a discount that will show up in your cart. This program has done wonders for my health condition given previous diagnosis of 4 different autoimmune conditions. One is completely in remission and the others are much diminished or well under control. I feel great! So grateful this came into my life and I can now feel so good going into this new chapter with my business.

Check out images of new products below. Thanks for your interest and I look forward to connecting with you soon.
