Open House Saturday, October 5th, 2013

You have got to come see it...

Our new place, that is. This Saturday, October 5 is our Open House. We are really excited for you to come by and see our new location at 3160 Parsons Rd. While you are visiting, please make time to enjoy the treats because we are indeed only two blocks away from Costco so we are of course planning a Costco run!

Here are the exciting things happening during our Open House:

* Save the GST on all Wonderfil threads. If you know anything about me at all, you know that I love love love thread. With over 18,000 hrs stitching on a longarm machine, I know what works best in most quilting situations. When looking to fill our studio with a little bit of retail thread, I spent countless hours testing and am happy to say that I was extremely happy, blown away in fact with the way Wonderfil thread performs on our longarm machines. You have got to try a cone. Here is a break down of all the varieties we carry for all your quilting needs.

* Save the GST on all quilts dropped off for our longarm quilting services October 5.

If you haven't already heard, we now have SIX longarm quilters working out of our studio. Affectionately called The Studio Ninjas. Each one of our Ninja's offers a unique quilting style. We would be delighted to introduce your quilt to some of their mad skillz. We are also offering free return shipping within Canada. Come by and see all the new modern and traditional pantograph designs we have in stock.
