'Tis the season for warm and cozy, and wool applique too!

Warm and cozy is a favourite feeling for many of us during this season. How about adding warm and cozy Fireside to your quilt as a backing, or as part of the quilt top to add texture?

Fireside is 100% polyester and does not shrink. It has minimal one-way stretch and is easy to work with. The stitches of your quilting disappear and a lovely textured pattern remains. It is available in 60" and 80" widths.

We've replenished our stock of Fireside and have some lovely new colours. Check it out here:

Flannels

Flannel is a warm and cozy option for those who prefer 100% cotton. A new selection of flannels have found their way to the shelves of our children's section - perfect for receiving blankets and more! These are just a small sample - click below to see them all.

Marilyn, one of our customers, shared her lovely Quilted Hug quilt with us at the November demo. It was complete with pockets and lined with polar fleece. The Quilted Hug is a thoughtful alternative to a lap quilt for those who have limited mobility. Click here for more on the Quilted Hug Project.

Don't you think Fireside would be a cozy alternative for lining the Quilted Hug?

You can watch the recording of the demo from Saturday, November 30 by clicking the link below. Sorry for the delay - the reindeer insisted that their games be aired first!

Trendtex Trunk Show and Anything But Basics Challenge

Thank you to everyone who attended the Trendtex Trunk Show on Friday morning, December 6. What a treat it was. Check out our website for information on the Anything But Basics Challenge and some great Trendtex precuts and bundles we have in stock.

From your beloved Editor ....

Well, Reindeer Games was a huge success. Thanks to all of you who used RG2024 as an opportunity to try some new products or to replenish your supplies. The staff had fun and hopefully you found it educational as well. Actually, my editorials probably don't qualify as "educational". Next Christmas we will have a contest for the best quilt depicting Santa's "B" team of flying reindeer. You did save the RG2024 Day 8 email didn't you?

Thanks for reading and Keep Quilting!
