We are helping to aid some of the animals that are victims of the fires in Australia. There is an unbelievable half a billion animal victims and many many injured animals that need help. This is going to take everyone helping them. I have included a link for making Wildlife pouches in all sizes from xxsmall to xx large.
The fabric you are looking to use is cotton and flannels mostly. Fleece for the outside is perfect as well. Only for the outside. Check out your stashes for fabrics that will work.
Either bring the pouches in or mail them in and we will get them to Australia for you.
Please help....this is just heartbreaking.

Myra Hiebert

  myra-hiebert-behind-bars-quilt

Myra Hiebert was in to long arm quilt her gorgeous Queen size quilt. She actually only used 3 fabrics to create the look.

The Stonehenge fabric is gradated and therefore she was able to achieve the look of it fading to the side.

Pattern is called "Behind Bars" and quilted with Glide thread for perfect results!

Thank you Myra for sharing your day with us. Your quilt has garnered a huge response on our facebook page! I told you that you would be famous!

Rachel Berry

rachel-berry 

Rachel Berry was in to learn to use our long arm machine. Her quilt is all in a fabulous music theme which worked so well with her chosen colour palette!

What I found very interesting is that Rachel is a newish quilter and she chose all the fabrics herself. No kit for Rachel, she does great choosing her own palette!

Congratulations Rachel on a beautiful quilt and thank you for spending the day!

 
 

Brenda Bliss

Brenda Bliss came in to long arm quilt her adorable little quilt. Lori was here to help her and photo bombed, but you can still get an idea as to pattern and colours.

A simple pattern with stars and yummy purples and pastels to create this fun little project! Brenda used the Dear Heart panto and glide thread for easy results.

Thank you to Brenda for sharing with us all!

Sandra lives in BC and has a home base business making this type of project. I have a photo of her business card and logo below so you can contact her if you are interested in any of her projects.

Batting sale - Always????

batting picture 

This year we are not having a promo batting sale. We have come up with something even better!!!

Order 1 full roll of any of our battings receive 20% off. For 5 or more rolls receive 30% off!!!

I am sure some of you are thinking "5 rolls? Really?" but if you are a guild, or you have a group of quilting friends maybe you would like to share in the cost.

Our top seller, the Hobbs 80/20 96" wide sells regular $15.99 per meter. There are 27.4 meters on the roll = $438.13 minus 20% = $350.50 ..... but if you round up some quilting pals and order 5 rolls it would be $438.13 minus 30% = $306.69. This is every day, all year long!

Give us a call at 250-376-7630 and let us help you!

 
 

Elna Excellence 780

elna exellence 780 sally andrysiak 

We have an Elna Excellence 780 for sale. This is a 2 year old machine, used only for 3 months and is in pristine condition.

There are all sorts of extras that come with the machine. Included are the quilting extension table, loads of bobbins, loads of feet and all booklets, CDs and whatever else you can imagine. This is not a machine to do hooped embroidery. It does have over 400 stitches so I think you will be occupied for a while.

Reg. price $4000
To you : $2100

Have you always wanted to make a Bargello project but not too sure where to start? Or maybe you just want to make a gorgeous high contrast table runner?

We have this awesome Bargello Table runner for you as a free pattern. Look for fabrics that blend from one to the next, keeping in mind that you will need one popper....in the shown sample the red is the popper. Also remember that one of your darkest prints will be up against one of your lightest as some point in the process.
