FOOTLOOSE AND FANCY-FREE, GETTING THERE IS HALF THE FUN; COME SHARE IT WITH QP!

As the Muppets so wisely sang above, it’s not just about the destination but the journey getting there. Why not apply that thinking to quilting? When embarking on your next project try a new technique, experiment with threads, and maybe switch from jewel tones to primary colours. Expand your quilting horizons and see how far your travels take you (hopefully to come see us at Quilty Pleasures)!

BTW, have you seen the amazing Muppets flannel in the Bargain Basement? Wocka wocka!

Amy, Sam, and all the QP Dolls (Allison, Carrie, Diane, Janet, Kimberley, Leslie, Rowan, Sonia, and Val)

LET THE COUNTDOWN BEGIN!

What better way to countdown to Christmas than with the Quilty Pleasures' Online Advent Calendar?

Each day, from December 1st to 24th, our online advent calendar will reveal a most advent-ageous promo or sale for that day only. It's as fun as chocolate and just as sweet!

SAVE ON CREATIVE GRIDS, UNTIL DECEMBER 10TH!

Creative Grids have quickly become our favourite rulers, not only for their quality and ease of use, but also for the range of projects you can make with each (talk about versatile!). Made in the USA, Creative Grids rulers include non-slip grips for accurate cutting every time, markings that are visible on both light and dark fabrics, and left-handed versions of their most popular sizes. Plus their Stripology series by Gudrun Erla takes the onus out of cutting strips as small as 1/2"!

Unfortunately, pricing for acrylic has gone up, which means rulers and template pricing has risen as well. However, in the spirit of the season we're keeping the lower pricing, plus 10% off, until December 10th 2023, including for special order rulers and template sets.

All in-stock Creative Grids rulers can be seen and purchased here on our website and all available orderable rulers can be seen here*. Give us a call, email, or visit us in store to order!

*Note: all pricing shown on the Creative Grids website are in USD. We'll provide the CAD pricing before ordering.

MAKE THE HOLIDAYS EASY WITH A QP WISHLIST

Give the gift of making holiday shopping easy (especially when said shopping is for yourself)!

We're bringing back the Quilty Pleasures' Wishlist for 2023 and are hoping to help your spouse, kids, friends, and neighbours find the perfect gift for their favourite quilter. Download the wishlist HERE, fill it out with your most-desired items from Quilty Pleasures (don't forget to "star" your favourites), then drop it off at the shop or email a completed list to info@quiltypleasures.ca (tip: keep a copy around the house as well for a not-so-subtle hint!). We'll keep it handy for anyone stopping by who wants to find you the perfect gift, without the guesswork.

GET YOUR MACHINE TUNED-UP!

Get your machine holiday-sewing ready, no appointment necessary!

A PFAFF FOR YOU!

You've got the fabric, planned your project, and are ready to quilt - but is your machine up to the task? Whether you're looking for a portable machine to take to class or something a little more heavy-duty for embroidery and machine quilting, there's a Pfaff for you. Visit us in-store to give them a try before you buy (no appointment necessary), plus receive a complimentary machine training with purchase with one of our knowledgeable teachers!

SIT AND SEW AT QP!

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!

NEED SOME INSPIRATION?

There's nothing like learning a new technique and making new friends!

Check out our list of classes here and keep an eye out for more being added!

Looking for something specific? We love to hear new class ideas! Just let us know what you would like and we will keep it in mind for a future session.

DID YOU KNOW?

A QP gift card works on our online shop as well as in the store! So take a look in your wallet and junk drawer. A GOOD look.

If you find a Quilty Pleasures gift card, bring it in or call us with the number. If it has a balance on it, you can spend it like cash on whatever we sell, wherever we sell it. Fabric, notions, tune-ups ... . It's literally found money!

Those cards aren't doing any good sitting at home, so redeem them now and buy some fun!

LOYALTY DOES HAVE ITS...!

Implementing an on-line shopping platform has necessitated a number of changes around here. One of the biggest is our new POS system, which won't affect you too much in your day-to-day shopping with us, but it does change how our loyalty programme works.

In a nutshell, the new system gives you a $10 coupon good for 90 days for every $250 you spend in the store*. Still pretty rewarding!

*Rewards are earned on regular-priced items only. Does not include classes or sewing machines.

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!

WHAT IS MYSEWNET?

mySewnet™ 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 mySewnet™ Cloud can be saved and accessed from different synched devices such as your mySewnet™- enabled machine, your PC or Mac, your smart phone, or your tablet via mySewnet™ apps. And it lets you do so many things!

By visiting the mySewnet™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 CreatorCue, an app that allows you to view step by step tutorials for various sewing techniques on your tablet or smart phone. It also includes instructions for projects and handy information about stabilizers, with more content being added all the time.

For instructions on registering for mySewnet, click here. To download CreatorCue. click here for android and here for apple. Then have fun!

IT PAYS TO COMPARE!

We know that price is a big factor when shopping for quilting supplies, and it's easy to assume that big box or chain stores will always offer a better price than an independent quilt shop.

However, we recently have had several customers tell us of specific instances where our prices were equal to or better than our competitors', even after their 50% discount was applied. We appreciate knowing that people are paying attention and realizing that our prices are competitive, even though we're a small, local business.

To our watchdog customers: Thanks very much for doing the math!

WE'RE MEDIA SOCIABLE!

Please visit our Facebook and Instagram pages for all the latest QP happenings.

Amy keeps those sites up-to-date, so take a look and be one of our Quilty Pleasures friends! (A new window will open when you click the above links.)

DID YOU KNOW?

We can special-order products for you!

It happens all the time: You're reading someone's blog and they recommend a pattern, book, notion, or other item that you'd really like to have. Only trouble is, either they don't sell it or you don't want to order it from them because of the exchange rate, shipping costs, Customs issues, whatever.

Let us deal with it! We can usually order these products from our suppliers, and all of the hassles are taken care of. No fuss, no muss, and your order comes right to the store and into your hands.
