We're open from 10:00-5:00 Monday to Saturday for your shopping convenience.
For
those of you new to our newsletter, we’ll explain a bit about our grocery gift
cards we request for most of our classes. For
most classes I’ve waived the instruction fee and request the gift cards so we
can donate them to the Salvation Army and they in turn can help those that need
it. To date we’ve donated over two
thousand dollars in cash and cards!
We will continue to provide you with
quality products. Our fabric,
notions, batting, Bernina machines are all the quality you deserve.
There’re many products out there that “will do” but our products
will do better. After all, why not
make your sewing experience the most pleasant one you can.
Mr. Quilter is always to adding to his pattern and thread collection.
If you want to have a completed quilt and don’t have time to actually
quilt it, we have the solution. Have
our handy dandy man quilt it on his professional machine.
We have several samples of his fabulous
work.
Classes
Arabian Nights
Friday night starting February 5th and every Friday night for
as long as you care to come.
Since so many of you would like to make this beautiful queen sized bargello quilt and since I just don’t have time to make a sample, we’ve decided to start a Friday night group dedicated to making this quilt. There’ll be no instruction, just you setting aside this time to work on it. The group is free when you purchase your pattern and fabric. Space is limited so if you say you’re coming, we’ll make room for you but we’ll be disappointed if you don’t show up.
Beginners Quilting
Saturday, February 6th 10:00-5:00
If you want to learn to quilt it’s a good idea to take a class to teach you all the little things you wouldn’t find in a book. Our beginners class is very comprehensive. Every detail is covered to get you confident with choosing fabric, choosing colours, using the tools and strip piecing, quilting, binding etc. One placemat will be made during class and you’ll have enough fabric to complete another at home. You choose your own fabric from our vast array.
Instructor: Kim Aydon
Instruction fee: $85 (includes all your supplies to complete your project)
Daisy Chain
Saturday, February 13th or Monday, February 15th
10:00-5:00
So sweet and simple and lovely is the only way I can describe this quilt. We’ve made a nice lap size but you can make it as large as you wish. This only uses two fabrics. Why not spend a pleasant day making something you’ll always enjoy.
Instructor: Kathy Deaton
Instruction fee: $40.00 grocery gift cards includes pattern
Attic Window
Saturday, February 20th 10:00-5:00
This is a great introduction to Attic Window quilting. Pick a feature fabric you’d like to showcase in a window and away we go. We know you’ll enjoy it. You’ll need to purchase or bring the book “24 hour Baby Quilts”.
Instructor: Kathy Landry
Instruction fee: $30 grocery gift cards
Fun Sew Days
Saturday, February 27th
10:00-5:00
Just come in and sew on your own project. It may be something you’ve taken in a class and have a question or two or it may just be you need some time out of the house and into the friendly atmosphere of quilting fanatics. We only have one criteria, you must be in a happy frame of mind.
Every Thursday is Community Play Day. We have a very good idea for you to make a scrappy quilt from your stash or come and choose fabric from our donation box. As always, we feel donated quilts should have the same good quality fabrics that you’d use in your own quilts. What you make represents you. You’re worth the best and so is the recipients of our donations whatever their circumstances. Come and work on a community project (there are many needy people out there). You’ll never know how good you feel until you try.
Please remember to turn off your cell
phone during class. Arrive on time
and prepared with all your tools. If
you wish to use one of our fantastic Bernina’s you’ll need to let us know
prior to class. No perfume or strong
scent.
