We are in CANADA! After two years of closed borders, I am finally able to visit the shops over our northern border! Located just two miles from New Brunswick 1, this wonderful shop, owned by Tina Hanson, opened in 1999 and has been serving the local quilting community ever since then. It is an easy stop on the way to the Bay of Fundy, but do come around the back of the shop complex to find the entrance.
There are wonderful fabrics here, with Fireside polyester backings that have a great texture, as well as 60″ fleece for backing or other projects. There are also at least 50 backing choices in 108″ cotton. Forty-five inch fabrics include solids and blenders, tone on tones, and beautiful batiks. There are large and small prints on hand as well. All together, there are at least 900 bolts of fabric to tempt you. Then there are Mettler and Gutterman threads, as well as Robison Anton Embroidery threads in dozens of colors. Bag patterns, samples, and hardware are here, and Christmas fabrics are available year round.
Samples are displayed throughout the shop, with many having kits and/or patterns available. I thought these snowmen were simply adorable! The astronaut is a wonderful example of what to do with a panel, and the owl is just one of the Laura Heine Collage patterns on hand.
There is also a wonderful selection of both daily use and specialty rulers to make your cutting faster and easier.
The shop also offers long arm services. Please contact them directly for pricing and lead times. If you are looking for a new machine, they are also a Viking dealer. I personally travel with a Viking Husqvarna Emerald for evening sewing at Camp Walmart. I would plan to spend at least 30 to 45 minutes here.
Stop back on Monday to see where else the North American Shop Hop has been visiting lately!
