What's New at Kimberbell: October 2023

Autumn is a wonderful time here at Kimberbell. We enjoy fall to the fullest, anticipate the holidays, and start really planning for the year ahead!

Here's what's new at Kimberbell this October. 🎃

Inside the Hoop

TIME CHANGE! Our fun Inside-the-Hoop show now airs every Thursday at 10:00 a.m. Mountain Time. (It was previously at noon, so please note that it's now at 10:00!)

If you miss the live broadcast, though, no worries! You can watch the replay by clicking the links below. 

This month, Ginger, Kim, and Deanna shared  tips and techniques on how to create dimensional fringe, how to use Clear Blue Tiles on a variety of projects (Think waaaaay beyond quilts!), how to do block-by-block background quilting, and so much more!

Psssst! Our favorite little Christmas elf, London, was the darling guest on October 5th, and I even got to pop into the episode on October 26th! So much fun. 

Buy-a-Block Program

We also released the Snowman block from Kimberbell's Cup of Cheer Advent Quilt as this month's Buy-a-Block design. It's only $5 and a flurry of fun to stitch! ☃️

Digital Dealer Exclusives: Dimensional Halloween Bat Jar Topper

Have you been participating in our Digital Dealer Exclusives program with your favorite quilt shop? If so, you've been enjoying our October design: the Dimensional Halloween Bat Jar Topper! 

Our giftable jar topper comes in two sizes (regular and wide-mouth) with dimensional wings and a Flexi Foam face.  If you'd like to make this spook-tacular project, contact a participating shop HERE!

NEW Deck the Palms Spark Event

Also this month, Certified Shops began hosting Kimberbell's new four-hour Spark Event: Deck the Palms! 🌴

At this Kimberbell event, you'll create the Bulb Ornament Zipper Pouch , the Let’s Flamingle Cinch Sack, and the darling Palm Tree Charm.  Take a look!

That small zipper pouch just kills me! 😍 You'll also go home with a Present Zipper Pouch, Round Ornament Zipper Pouch, Let’s Party Cinch Sack, and three additional charms to stitch later.

With multiple styles and sizes to choose from, Deck the Palms is Christmas fun for everyone! Click HERE to find a shop hosting this super-fun event. (It's just the right length for busy beginners!)

New Products

This month we also released our new Nativity Stuffies! Each of these 13 beloved characters come in three sizes and feature a variety of decorative stitches and techniques.

You can find this project anywhere Kimberbell products are sold. Learn more about Nativity Stuffies HERE!

What's New Wednesday

What's New Wednesday is a highlight of the week for all of us. Join Kim live from her sewing room every Wednesday at 10:00 a.m. MT to learn what's new, ask questions, enter our epic giveaways, and see what Kimberbell fans are creating during our "Sew & Tell With Kimberbell" segment.

This month on What's New Wednesday, Kim talked about several new Kimberbell products, including the Nativity Bench Pillow, the Nativity Stuffies, the Cranberry Star USB Case, two Digital Dealer Exclusives projects (the Dimensional Bat Jar Topper and the Pineapple Crossbody Bag), Mini Quilts, and more!

Kim interviewed Tori from M.E. Time about the newest Bella Box on October 18th and she also interviewed me on October 11th. (I shared pieces from some of my favorite nativity sets.) ✨
