Kona Bay Fabrics releases new FREE pattern!

Was backed up a bit by all the snow days here in the Seattle, WA area but during that time away from blogging, we finished the latest new FREE pattern for all to enjoy.

Kona Bay's Garden Gazing Collection is one of our "less is more" quilting projects in which you only need six fabrics to make this gorgeous quilt.

Kona Bay understands that during a recession, it is not always possible for quilters to buy many, many fabrics to make a beautiful quilt. Thus, Kona Bay's "Less is More" quilt projects were born and Garden Gazing Collection is our first offering.

Please enjoy the free pattern with our compliments.

The Garden Gazing Collection will be available in your favorite local quilt shop in February.

QUILT MARKET at end of October

Kona Bay Fabrics has been a fabric wholesaler since 1991 - -yikes...we're 20 years old!!! -- and during that time, we have been to many, many Quilt Markets which is the quilting fabrics wholesale industry show.

Every Fall, thousands of us gather in Houston, TX and show off our new fabric collections, patterns, gadgets, techniques and get together with old friends and make new friends as well.

If you are attending Quilt Market, please come by the Kona Bay booths (1220 and 1321) and check out our new fabrics as well as partaking in our super delicious candy from Hawaii - our trademark chocolate macadamia nut candy.

You can always see our beautiful fabrics on our Kona Bay website and while you are visiting our web page, please enjoy our FREE patterns!

Thanks for all your support these past 20 years!!

Mr Kona Bay Back to Blogging

I have been doing a lot more Facebook and Twitter social interaction lately and have not been dedicating enough time to the Kona Bay Fabrics blog but now I am back to blogging.

We hope you have been following us on Facebook which is where I do daily postings -- sometimes several a day - to keep everyone up to date on new collections, free patterns and things in general involving Kona Bay Fabrics. Occasionally, Miss Piggy da Kitty will get her picture uploaded as well.

The two latest collections from Kona Bay to arrive in the quilt shops and are available now would be:

EXPLOSION OF COLORS - 16 Beautiful Tonal Colors

Talented quilter Cathy Kind has produced a very lovely quilt for the Explosion of Colors tonal group and this FREE pattern can be found on the Kona Bay website by clicking here.

The other fabric collection that is also available now in quilt shops is the popular RAINBOW GARDEN COLLECTION.

Kona Bay is famous for their Asian designs but did you know that we also produce very beautiful non-Asian fabric collections as well.

RAINBOW GARDEN COLLECTION is a lovely fabric group and it also comes with a FREE pattern by Cathy Kind and is available on our web site.

Enjoy the fabric, enjoy the free patterns and hope everyone is having a great summer!!
