Store Hours changed ....back to what they were
| |
Change of plans everyone.
Last week I had told you that we would be closed the morning of June 6th to accommodate the APQS Roadshow.
Now we have managed to arrange the show across from us at the Seniors Center so no need to close the shop.
The store hours remain at 10 am to 5 pm.
APQS Roadshow times: 9:30 12:30
All the details on the Roadshow can be found on our website under the Events section.

On the Road Again!
| |
Bill is heading north at the end of June for servicing APQS machines.
The plan is for him to leave on the 24th of June and be back home around the 5th of July.
I will be in need of some of his cooking by then. LOL
The cost of the service is $200 with the mileage shared between everyone.
Therefore I am going to need to know who would like to have Bill for servicing.
Did that sound wrong? You know what I mean. LOL
He will also be able to bring any orders that you make to the shop as well.
I will be in contact with you as we get closer to the time.
If you can email me at info@fabricshelf.ca
That would be super and I can get a list going.

Susan Green was in to long arm quilt her gorgeous quilt Labyrinth Quilt. Her colour choices added to the 3D look of the project. This one is for a grandson who is 6'7"! so she really paid attention to getting it long enough!
Bill was the assistant to Susan on the quilt using edge to edge design Raindrops with Glide thread Anchor for the top.
Thank you to Susan for sharing your quilt with us all!

Roberta Smith

Roberta Smith brought her beautiful log cabin quilt in for us to long arm quilt for her. She actually started it last fall while on retreat at the South Thompson Inn. She was worried that the quilt looked terribly dark, but once that it was quilted and she saw it on the photo rack she was beyond thrilled!
The edge to edge design is Sound Wave with Glide thread Military Gold for the top of the quilt. A gorgeous quilt!
Thank you to Roberta for sharing!
*** Please notice how Roberta looks particularly stunning in her matching outfit standing next to the quilt.***

The colours and the pattern are perfect! Pattern is called Sizzle and any jelly roll will work, but do watch for making sure you ave a good mix of light medium and dark fabrics in the roll.
Asian Flow is the edge to edge design chosen for the quilt with Glide thread Graphite for the top. An amazing quilt, Loretta!
