Quilters - Lots of new fabric for your inspiration! Stock up for those days at home...
Our block of the month called a "Toonie a time" has also been popular. Come each month and for a toonie, taxes included, you will get the fabric and instructions for a block. This is a fun way to try different patterns which could be used for a whole quilt. All the blocks use thangles which is a fast efficient way to make 1/2 square triangles.
And here is a list of SOME of the fabric we carry:
| Amy Butler | Bali | Batiks | Blank Textiles | Fusions | Hoffman | Kaffe Fassett | Kona Bay | |
| Laurel Birch | Lonni Rossi | Mark Lipinski | Moda | Northcott Silk | RJR | Robert Kaufman | Timeless Treasure |
We're proud to carry Brother and Babylock machines (click on the names to see their sites) - typically the following models:
| NS-40 | NV-1250D | NV-2800D | NV-4500D |
| NV-6000D | NX-450 | PQ-1500S | QC-2000 |
We also repair sewing machines.
Everyone - If you're looking for accessories for your knitting and sewing, we have a nice selection of custom-designed and unusual jewellery in the store, at very reasonable prices. Worth a look next time you're in.
We carry tables for sewing and knitting machines. Most standard tables are too short, too wide, too flimsy and take up too much space. Our tables are designed especially for sewers and machine knitters. They have a smooth work surface, no rails (so you can clamp your knitting machine to them), and folding legs so you can stash them away when dinner guests arrive. They come in plain white, white with wood trim, or wood-veneer particleboard. And if you want a custom size, we can make it to order at no extra cost. Reasonably priced.
Our elite email list remains very popular. Sign up (in person) and find out about our specials early on! Click here or on the 'Newsletter' tab above or the link below.

So many people have requested the Alt Character codes, that we've decided to offer them here as a download from Ruti's Needlebed. See the Projects page for the download options!
