Saturday, March 15 was Worldwide Quilting Day - did you make some stitches? Some new quilting friends? Visit our shop or website?
We're extending our special on Tilda's Make Do & Mend pillow kits until midnight Monday, March 17. Is your sewing space your sanctuary? These kits are made with fabrics from Tilda's delightful Sanctuary collection.
This lovely blue French General collection is inspired by summers in France, spent dying antique white linen scraps into beautiful shades of blue. Ten-piece fat quarter bundles are available now.
Our favourite, and a Quilters Cupboard original, the Tri-Star Table Runner showcases the Sacre Bleu fabrics beautifully. You can watch the video on our YouTube channel to give you some tips on piecing the runner.
The Equinox Basics from Benartex will work well in both modern and traditional quilt designs. The colours are intense and the motif classic. They look great on our colour walls and we're sure they will find their way into some quilt projects quickly! We have six colours in stock.
Add the finishing touch to your quilts and handmade projects with these lovely little labels, made from soft, organic cotton. An easy way to add the date to your finished projects, a special message when giving it as a gift or to subtly draw attention to your handmade tote or accessory.
Each package contains eight labels of the same design.

Gerri-Lynn has completed her Starry Log Cabin quilt - so warm and cozy in traditional Kansas Troubles fabrics.
Interested in a future Starry Log Cabin class? Send us an email and we will add your name to our wait list.
Heather put the skills learned in her first hand applique class to practise (and added her own twist of "a pop of colour to the corners") to make her own version of the orange peel pillow-top. As you might guess, she's learned how to use the Corner Pop Tool from Deb Tucker in Leianne's class.
Beautiful work Heather!
From your beloved Editor ....
For this week's knowledge nugget I will explain the "layer cake". A layer cake is a whole bunch of 10 inch square pieces of fabric from a single collection. Everyone loves layer cakes with the possible exception of quilters with type 2 diabetes. Layer cakes typically have a best before date of several weeks or until the quilter experiences a change in taste.
Hope to see you at the shop.
