Digital Pantographs

1/31/2021

The Covid-19 pandemic has forced us to work differently in many ways. Coming into the studio to choose a quilting pattern, threads, batting and backing has not been an option for much of the time. To assist with one part of this we've finally gotten our tech support to post a gallery of the quilting patterns we currently have available.

You can get to it here or navigate to it from our Home page under Quilting Services.

Mask Materials

It looks as if the requirement for face masks is going to be with us for a while. This is just to let you know we have a small quantity of supplies for making your custom masks including:

Filter material by package or by meter;
Elastic by package or by meter;
Metal bars for the nose

Kits (Instructions, fabric, elastic)

Done With It!

Ever have the feeling you were totally DONE with something? Sure hope we don'[ need this sign again.

Reopening In Store Shopping

1/21/2021

Manitoba announced today (Jan 21,) that retail stores selling non-essential items may soon resume operations (at reduced capacity.)

Accordingly, we are preparing to reopen for in store shopping as of Tuesday, January 26th. We are not expecting a flood of visitors, but for some purposes it is so much better to see the options before making a decision.

We will continue to offer "door side" service for anyone who prefers that method. Call, text, or email and Helen will do her best to have your items ready for pick up at the door.

Rentals are not yet available.

While this is a welcome change we urge everyone to continue following best practices as recommended by the provincial public health officials.

New Products

1/19/2021

It's been a while since we've had people "strolling the aisles" and we've been slowly restocking and adding new product.

By popular request we've recently received a small supply of Glide threads. This is a 100% polyester thread available in 1000m spools for $8.29.

We will try to slowly highlight some of the other new items until you can come in and see for yourself.

Thanks for the kind thoughts

Wow, we've received so many messages of condolence on the loss of our little greeter. Seems many quilters understand the connection with a pet. The empathy and understanding truly helps, so thank you all.

When you are able to visit again the greetings may be somewhat less enthusiastic, but nonetheless heartfelt. We ARE hoping to have some good news soon on slowly reopening stores for non-essential sales.

Covid-19 Update

1/13/2021

Not much new to report. We remain in good health and (mostly) good spirits. The Province is requiring us to remain closed to in store shopping for at least another two weeks.

The "door side" pick up / drop off procedures seem to be working and will continue in effect. You can contact Helen by phone, text, or email. Still no rentals, of course.

It's beginning to feel that there might be some light at the end of this long dark winter and not just that the days are getting longer. Still, there are too many people getting ill. We can't let our guard down yet. Please, stay safe everyone, Stay home if you can. Wear a mask if you can't. And wash those hands.

We will get through this, together.

In Memoriam

1/9/2021

Alas, we have had to say good bye to our little greeter. Those who have had a dog in their lives know how they can burrow a hole into your heart. He gave us so much joy and laughter while he was with us.

Geoffrey always said he wasn't a REAL dog and while Marion"s and Inez's dogs tried to teach him how to bark like a dog he never quite got it. Still he was a good pug right to the end.

Fair winds little guy.
