On a customers request we've brought in a few colours of Deco-Bob threads by Wonderfil. The manufacturers description:

This incredible 80wt 2-ply cottonized polyester thread carries a textured matte finish that has been treated to behave more like cotton and eliminate stretch. Delicate but incredibly strong, this lightweight thread ensures stitching becomes less bulky and designs softer while the fine weight also allows for more acute miters and rounder and smoother curves. DecoBob™ is also an ideal bobbin thread and is available in Class 15, L and M size pre-wound bobbins in reusable plastic casings.

It takes more than a few minutes to go shopping when its freezing your knickers off cold. Anybody else tired of this? The Half Moon has some flags standing straight out and I can't tell if it's because the wind is so strong or they are just FROZEN.

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.

Reopening In Store Shopping

1/21/2021

0 Comments

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.
