ANY NEW YEAR'S RE-SEW-LUTIONS?

Rather than asking the usual “what are you changing in the New Year?” we’re wondering something a little different: what will you carry forward from last year?

Is there a technique you picked up that you’d like to learn more about?
Did you try the decorative stitches on your new sewing machine?
Have you found a new colour palette that makes your heart sing?

Resolutions don’t have to be overwhelming, all-encompassing, or life-changing. They can simply be a way to push your creativity to keep your quilting experience fresh and interesting, while expanding on what you already know. That being said, let us know what your quilting goals are for the new year – we can’t wait hear all about them in 2026!

Happy New Year from all of us at QP!

Amy, Sam, and the QP Dolls (Allison, Debora, Kimberley, Leslie, Lucie, Marianne, Monique, Rowan, Sonia, and Val)

SIT AND SEW AT QP!

GET YOUR MACHINE TUNED-UP

Come use our space and our tools (and escape your family, renovations or anything else you'd like to leave at home). Come alone or bring a friend. This is a great opportunity to sew-cialize with friends, both new and old! You can reserve a four-hour time slot for $15. A staff person will be assigned to help you, if needed, but there will not be a specific lesson or class being taught. You must bring your own machine (as always, we can help you carry it in), your project supplies and rotary cutters.

As an added bonus, any regularly-priced shopping you do the same day will be discounted by 10%. Please call the store to register or ask any questions you may have. 613-834-3044

There are several dates scheduled so check out our classes page for a complete list. Don't see a day that works for you? Let us know and we'll keep you in mind when we add to the schedule!

Get your machine sewing-ready, no appointment necessary!
Please check our Machine Servicing Policy prior to dropoff for more info.

WHAT IS CREATIVATE?

Creativate™ Cloud is, in essence, a service where you save and access your personal files, stitches and designs over the Internet instead of on your computer’s hard drive. Your files in Creativate™ can be saved and accessed from different synched devices such as your Creativate™- enabled machine, your PC or Mac, your smart phone, or your tablet via Creativate™ apps. And it lets you do so many things!

By visiting the Creativate™ Portal, you can access your own profile information, user account settings, machine information, subscription options and online cloud file management. It is easily accessible from anywhere with an Internet connection, including Mac computers.

Even if you don't have an embroidery machine, you'll love the tutorials and demos on the Creativate™ website and apps (find everything from do-it-yourself customization to quilt-as-you-go tips and tricks) with more content being added regularly!

For more information about setting up an account with Creativate™, click here!

ANOTHER SHOPPING OPTION!

While we aren't in a position to order every fabric TrendTex sells, now you have an exciting opportunity to shop directly from their warehouse!
This will give you access to a huge inventory of Moda, Benartex, RJR, Hoffman California, Stof, Michael Miller, and Lewis & Irene collections!

Here's how it works:

1/ Visit shop.trendtexfabrics.com to, well, shop;
2/ At checkout, enter the code STI020 This gives us a portion of the sale, keeping your dollars local;
3/ Shipping is $15 for all orders under $149, and free for orders of $149 and over.

This is a unique programme and we're excited to be a part of it, so please give it a go. It's always disappointing for us when a customer requests a fabric we don't have, but this gives you another way to buy exactly what you want.

It's easy, it's fun, and it's fabric. All good!

CELEBRATING QP'S DAD

Longtime customers of Quilty Pleasures have likely seen Cary Jensen around the shop over the years. Val's husband, and father to Sam and Amy, was always quick with a smile and loved a good chat - whether it was about quilting, the CBC, or goings-on in Orleans. His sense of humour and charm were ever-present, even when life was most difficult. He was our greatest supporter, website-editor extraordinaire, and confidante (as well as the genius behind our shop's name!) and we're going to miss him more than words can say after his sudden passing at the end of April.

We've been overwhelmed by the kindness of everyone who has written, called, or come in with a hug - thank you! We're so grateful for this wonderful community we're lucky enough to be a part of.
