Stitch Pink 2020

Hello to All Can you believe today is October 1--a while back I mentioned in one of my entries about a Stitch Pink 2020 Sampler. With that being said we have not given any further details as we were uncertain as to when the fabrics would arrive. Mid afternoon yesterday was the day we had all the fabrics arrive and I have confirmed all are in the shipment. So let me explain what Stitch Pink 2020 Grunge Sampler is. For the month of October you may stitch along with Moda to make a sampler quilt dedicated to Breast Cancer Awareness Month--we at Quilters Barn and Gifts will donate $25.00 from each kit sold to Breast Cancer Research here in Canada Each day beginning October 1, one block will be available for FREE download on the Moda blog, this includes Saturdays and Sundays throughout the month. The Final Assembly instructions will be released on Saturday, October 31. We also have copies of each days block if you have problems retrieving the instructions Your final quilt will finish 64" x 76" Kit features fabric for quilt top and binding(9.55m) in pinks to reds from Basic Greys Grunge line Backing is not included Cost is $179.95 plus hst

Kits will be assembled as orders received--we apologize for the late information but we did want to be sure we had it all received and good to go. Hoping you will take this opportunity to create a beautiful sampler quilt of 30 different blocks.

Stay Safe and Happy Quilting!! Beth

Jelly Roll Day!

Hello to All

We have made it to September, and the leaves are beginning to change.

Children are returning to education, be it in class or online. Hats off to all the educators and school support workers who have been working so hard to find ways to keep our younger generation safe and sound during these uncertain times and organizing the upcoming school year and to the bus drivers who will be transporting to and from school. Watch for the yellow buses on the roads as it has been sometime since we have seen them.

We also as communities must remember to continue the safe practices of maintaining social distancing, wearing our masks and not going out if we are feeling unwell. Together we will get through COVID but we must follow the direction of our Public Health Units as they and all our medical teams continue also to work tirelessly through these times as safely as possible.

In store we have just received Drawstring Mask Elastic in Black and White, along with Mask Nosebar Pieces

The Creative Grid Face Mask Template is also back in stock!

This Saturday is National Jelly Roll day, Sept 19. For anyone who is unfamiliar with a Quilters Jelly Roll, it is fabrics which have been precut into 2 1/2" strips--they come in packages of varying sizes. Starting Tues Sept 15- Sat Sept 19 all Jelly Roll or 2 1/2" strips packages will be 10% off along with any of our Jelly Roll Patterns or Books. All sale items must be instock. Special orders do not qualify. Along with your Jelly Roll purchase you will receive one of the Moda Free Patterns which have been developed for the event.

On Saturday we would like you to take a picture of yourself sewing and participating in National Jelly Roll Day and we will enter your name in a draw for a Gift Certificate to our store, we will also be sharing your picture on our Facebook Page

Lets have some fun with it along with inspiring each other!!

Happy Quilting and Stay Safe!!

September Update

September has arrived!!

We would like to thank all those who participated in the Quilters Quest Eastern Ontario Shop Hop and making it such great success.

We will post the Grand Prize Winner and Second Place Winners when they are available.

The gift basket from Quilters Barn and Gifts was won by Joan Blois and for anyone who did not complete a ballot we took all the names from the Contact List over the 3 days to make sure everyone was included in case we missed giving a ballot to someone.

This week we are returning to appointments and drop in by chance.

Starting Tuesday, September 8, daily we will be booking appointments from 10-12 and then in afternoon we will be doing dropins as it went very well over the course of the Shop Hop.

Hours Tuesday- Friday 9:30-4 and Saturdays 9:30-3

Doors will remain locked so please ring doorbell!! This allows us to continue to limit numbers in the store and maintain contact tracing for all.

Everyone must continue to wear masks while in store and sanitize prior to entering store--debit and credit cards preferred.

We want our clients, staff, family and community to remain as safe as possible. and feel safe while enjoying their visit.

Thank you again to everyone for their support and patience as we work through this together

Happy Quilting!!

Beth and staff
