Just to get things started
| |
Just to get things rolling with our Saturday newsletter I have to let you all know that I can't get the links in the newsletter to work so you have to type in the links yourself. Grrrrr.
I will be on the phone to the IT people on Monday to see if they can figure this out.
If you want to see any of our new products or sale products just type in www.fabricshelf.ca
and it will take you right to the website.

This is the second quilt that Cheryl Sebastion brought in for us to longarm quilt for her. Can you believe this gorgeous fabric? The theme is Japanese with the large print being left alone to be the star, with beautiful accents.
Leslie Ford was the longarm magician on this one using digital design Asian Flow with amazing movement to it. Top thread is Glide Cleopatra.
Thank you to Cheryl for sharing with everyone and especially for letting me pet your quilts!! LOL

Diane Mousseau

Diane Mousseau pieced this incredible Sci-Fi quilt for a client. The colours and the layout are just amazing. Great piecing with a superb balance of colours and values.
The quilt was longarmed by Leslie Ford using a digital pattern Andi's Shazam. Top thread is Glide Teal.
Thank you so much Diane for showing us all this amazing quilt!

Diane Mousseau also created this amazing Memory quilt. It was a bit of a learning curve with stretch fabrics and special touches throughout. Pockets from the shirts, little teddy bears and more!
Bill did the quilting and was able to longarm it around the 3D parts to really pop them up. I am a bit biased but Bill you are amazing! He also cooks.
The digital design chosen is Seamless with Glide thread Pink Rose for the top.
Thank you to Diane for sharing this one as well!

Buttons and more Buttons
| |
If you are anything like me you have scads of containers of buttons lurking in the sewing room. We decided to have a button donation at the shop!
The always helpful Andi has worked so hard this week sorting and bagging buttons to colour and/or size. You can come on in and grab some buttons if you need them, and leave a donation with all proceeds going to the SPCA. If you have buttons to donate bring them in and we will bag them and put them out in a basket for others to take.
