Our quilt shop has been in business for 11 years and during that time, we have expanded our fabric selection to include batiks, flannels, cuddle soft fabrics and more. You will find a great selection of charm squares, jelly rolls and layer cakes – they are just plain fun and we can suggest many quilt patterns to work with these pre-cut fabrics.

We just had our first taste of Rhubarb this weekend and with the warmer temperatures now here we should soon be enjoying the fresh asparagus just starting to show its head.  The rhubarb recipe is quick to prepare and we even made it gluten free using a special mixture of flour and wheat free oats.

Have you heard our wonderful news?  We will be expanding our store this summer!  The appliance repair shop is moving down the road and  Tony is ready to start renovating. (he’d been wondering what his summer project would be this year and now he knows!)
In addition to having more store space we are also welcoming Jennifer Ricca and her long arm business into space at the back of the store.  We continue to strongly support Cathy Petrie and Sandy & Doug McFadden as we will continue to have an area for drop offs and pick ups for them.  Watch for more news through our newsletters and on line for updates on construction.
