We have just received notice that Colette Patterns is moving to digital patterns only.  They are not disappearing but restructuring their company.   Seamwork, their online pattern magazine, has grown quickly in the 3 years since its inception.   They have an amazing community around Seamwork and have big plans for expanding it with more interactive features, video, and more.  With the work involved with all these new online features, they do not have the time or (wo)man power to run the printed pattern business as well.  Hence their decision to  transition Colette Patterns to digital-only.
You get to benefit!  All our printed Colette patterns are on for $10.  Save yourself the inconvenience of printing off the file and taping all those 8″x11″ sheets of paper.  Have everything at your disposal without all that hassle.

Sale prices are available for your online shopping. Stock up now to make sure you get all the patterns you want!

Row by Row’s 2017 theme is ‘On the Go!’

Patterns available from June 21 – Sept 5. Quilts can be submitted for a prize until October 31 2017.

Row by Row Experience™ is a shopping event where quilters collect row kits or free patterns from participating shops, then create a unique quilt using at least 8 different rows. Be the first to bring your completed quilt to a participating store and win a prize of 25 fat quarters! Bonus prize if your quilt contains the store’s own block. Only one winner per store.

This is a bricks & mortar event, so kits and free patterns must be picked up in person. Free patterns are limited to one per customer.

Quilt Eligibility:

• Must contain at least 8 rows from participating stores (9^th rows and Junior rows do not count*)
• Edges must be bound
• Must be quilted
• Must be labelled

* we are NOT participating in the 9th row or Junior row. The 9th row is a block available for purchase at participating stores where the proceeds are donated to charity. Junior rows are available for youth aged 6-14 in participating stores (please visit http://www.rowbyrowexperience.com/junior.htm for more info)

We have 2 events happening the same weekend!  Oh my, which to go to???

Our regular sewing forum is May 6 at the store.  It starts at 10am where you can bring your sewing and crafting successes, disasters, brick walls and see what our vibrant group makes of your sewing issues!

We will also be attending the Boundary Bay Quilters’ Guild show.  Held May 6 and 7 from 10am to 4pm both days at the South Delta Recreation Center (1720 56th Street, Delta)  Since it is Canada’s 150th Birthday this guild is celebrating it with a guild challenge titled, My Canada. Canada as seen through the eyes and mind of the quilter.  There will be a display of “150 Years of Quilting in Canada”. They also have a Baby Challenge, Beach Baby Blankets. Meet us at the merchant mall and check out the Guild’s Boutique. For more information about this guild, click here.
