Makin' Tracks To Camp Quilt Shop Hop - July 1st to 31st

We are taking part in the 2nd Annual Shop Hop for this summer. Funds raised will go towards various camps in the region. Pick up your passport starting July 1st and then visit participating shops in the Peace Country to get it stamped and pick up the pattern blocks designed by Gwen Reimer, of Sew Kindness Designs. She has agreed to design a mystery quilt. After July 31st, and you have picked up all your blocks and completed your quilt, we will have a prize for the first person to bring in their completed quilt into the store. There will be more information to come.

Last July our classroom was set up with vintage quilts. This July our classroom will be set up with close to 100 vintage antique sewing machines. There will be a great many machines for sale as well as other select vintage items. Lots of machines are in working order but some are for antique ornaments and will be priced accordingly.

Hand sewing and other hand work are welcome. Coffee, tea, and refreshments as well as a variety of snacks are available to you throughout the day. Meals are not provided, but you are welcome to bring a bagged lunch. No instructor is present on these days, so there is no fee, but staff will be around to help answer any questions you may have.
