Close your eyes and imagine a spectacular full moon lighting up the evening sky. As the silhouetted images of nearby surroundings are magically displayed, what do you see? Childhood memories? Views of Wildlife? Sports events? Romantic moments? Wild Imaginations?... the list goes on and on!!
With this in mind, Northwest Montana artist, Rick Kom, has painted over 60 intriguing scenes with this enchanting moonlight theme.
At Lakeside Quilt Co, we have introduced Rick's artwork to the quilting world and are proud to be the exclusive distributor of his artwork on fabric.
Imagine the unique one-of-a kind projects you can create for yourself, family, and friends, such as wall hangings, decorative pillows, tote bags-whatever your imagination allows!

We have become US distributors for Wonderfil thread. OMG!!! Don’t know where to even start talking about this thread. It is awesome! It has been a long time since I have been this taken with a thread line. Cotton thread continues to be my personal quilting favorite even though poly is becoming more and more accepted. This thread has a beautiful “presence”, is very strong and virtually lint free! FYI – all cotton thread goes through a “gassing” process as it is manufactured, whereby it is run quickly over an open flame, burning off fuzz. This next part is important --- Wonderfil is the only thread manufacturer in the world that double gasses the thread. So, there is just no lint or fuzz and it is very strong. It is a very nice weight, (don’t think the #50 means it is thin and fussy – it is not). You can get a nice tight tension so the stitches are “imbedded” on the top as well as the bottom and the stitches are beautiful. I used this thread on my last 5 or 6 quilts and had only 2 or 3 total thread breaks. That is some kind of record. We are stocking the entire line of 50 wt. cotton on 3000m cones. There is a nice selection of colors in bold solids and variegated. They also offer a heavier weight, called Spaghetti, in a smaller pallet of colors if you do art quilts or have an occasion to want your thread to really stand out and say, “Hey look at me”. The third line we are carrying from Wonderfil is called Invisafil. It is the perfect choice for an invisible thread -- where you want the thread to be functional but not take over at all. It is a poly thread, behaves like a cotton and comes in a large variety of colors It is perfect for art quilts. It is like quilting with a hair, but is soooo strong.

Imagine a thread with the look and feel of cotton, but without the lint. That is exactly what So Fine! is -- an extra soft #50 polyester thread that is etched in order to give it the look and feel of cotton thread. With the look of cotton and the strength of poly, this thread allows us to quilt without all the lint and thread breaks we would get with a similar size cotton thread. The range of colors blend beautifully into the fabric, showing off your stitching.
Sincerely,
John Flynn

MasterPiece™ is a #50/2 extra-long staple Egyptian cotton that is ideal for today's quilter. It is fine and smooth and a delight to work with. It is wonderful for piecing, quilting, and also in the bobbin. Accuracy when piecing becomes instantly enhanced because MasterPiece™ creates a very smooth, flat, and even seam which does not add any bulk. A flatter seam is especially important when sewing together blocks that contain many points.
For machine quilting, MasterPiece™ softly blends into the quilt layers, enhancing the quilting designs we have grown to love. When used in the bobbin, due to its fine, smooth quality, I'm surprised at how much thread I can load onto the bobbin.
