Thank you Suzanne from Knit Stitch!
Knit Stitch is a wonderful knitting and sewing shop in London, where you feel right at home sitting on the sofa knitting, or learning how to quilt in the classroom. Knit Stitch has generously donated a $50 Gift Card for a retreat prize, and I am sure using it will be quite tempting once you step inside the shop! Thanks again Knit Stitch for sponsoring our retreat!

Thank you Sew Sisters! Sew Sisters has donated a gift bag with a pattern and fat 1/4's inside. And if you look closely you will see the most adorable hedgehog fabric! Sew Sisters is a shop in Toronto with a huge selection of modern fabrics, which are also offered online so that you can shop in your pj's after hours if needed! And admit it, we are all guilty of late night pj shopping for fabric. Thanks again Sew Sisters! We appreciate your support!
Thanks Anita! Anita owns The Cotton Mill Threadworks and is the Canadian Thread Educator for Superior Threads. For anyone that has met Anita in her booth at the numerous quilt shows she attends, you will see the passion she has for thread! Knowing which weight and fibre to use as well as picking the perfect thread colour are her strengths! Superior Threads also has their own brand of sewing machine needles and Anita has donated a few packs to be included with our door prizes! Here is a handy reference to pick which sewing machine needle you need for your project.
Superior Threads Needles Thanks again Anita for supporting our retreat! WOW!
Darla of Clinton Modern Creative has generously donated 2 fat 1/4s and sewing machine needles for each of our retreat guest gift bags! She also included discount coupons for future orders- and once you see these fabrics in person, you will definitely be ordering more! Thanks again Darla! Retreat guests- check your emails!
We had such fun last retreat making lanyards to swap, that we are doing it again. What better way to make a new friend at retreat than to swap a lanyard for our name tags? Fill out your survey by Friday, get matched with a partner from another guild and then mail your lanyard by March 16th. Then once we are at retreat, look to see who is wearing the lanyard you made and introduce yourself! Here is a great tutorial: Lanyard instructions Thanks again Rebecca for organizing such a fun swap! Just a reminder to everyone that we have 3 vendors this year at retreat.
Mad About Patchwork, The Stitcharie and Stache Fabric and Notions will all have pop up shops on Saturday April 7th from 2-4pm. Anyone can come shop from our vendors, not just retreat guests. So tell your friends, load up your car and come shopping! You could even shop online for better selection and pick up your order that afternoon too. Hope to see you there! Thank you The Warm Company for sponsoring a door prize for our retreat!
They donated a queen size white batting, which is great to use in modern quilts with a lot of white fabric. The white batting gives a crisp white appearance to the quilt top, unlike the natural batting which can dull white fabrics. Have a look on their website for some patterns and tutorials on using their batting. Thanks again The Warm Company. Have you jumped into the digital quilting magazine rabbit hole? My new iPad has really enabled me and my digital obsession- and a big thank you to Make Modern Magazine for helping with my obsession! Make Modern Magazine has a 2 for 1 coupon code for all our gift bags, so you can buy a few issues of this fantastic modern magazine from Australia. They have also provided a door prize of a 6 month subscription to their magazine as well. Thank you Make Modern for supporting our retreat and can't wait to read the upcoming issue!
Thank you Darla from Clinton Modern Creative!
Darla asked what she could donate to our retreat to make it "awesome" Well our gift bags will be extra awesome with the addition of sewing machine needles and fat 1/4's! Clinton Modern Creative is an online fabric store carrying the latest modern fabrics so check out all that Darla has available- Clinton Modern Creative Thanks again Darla! The prizes just keep coming! Thank you Fabric Spark for this bundle of fat 1/4's! Don't these fabrics remind you of spring when all the plants start to grow? Imagine the possibility of what you could make with such a lovely bundle of fabrics!
