Check out this absolutely incredible Prince Quilt (a jaw-dropping foundation paper pieced pattern by Modern Quilt Patterns).

Here is how our amazing team brought this musical icon to life:

The Piecing: The lovely Erin meticulously pieced this masterpiece. To get that amazingly lifelike close-up of Prince, she featured a gorgeous blend of Hoffman Watercolor Batiks, set against a striking background of Ruby Star Society Speckled fabrics. The combo is pure magic!

The Longarming: Lindsay and Breeanna just loaded it up and finished it on the longarm, choosing the perfect Rain Drop panto by The Quilting Mill (because what else would you quilt onto Prince?! 🌧️💜).

The Finish: Willow is at the ready and about to work her magic putting the binding on to officially wrap up this new shop favourite!

📦 Want to Make Your Own?
If you are feeling inspired to tackle this legendary portrait, we would love to kit it up for you! This digital pattern (and others) can be found on website.

It's worth the drive to Beaverlodge to see this one in person once it's officially on display—the photos simply don't do justice to how lifelike those batiks look!

We just got the brand-new Mary Ellen’s Best Press in Cinnamon Orange, and oh my goodness, it smells incredible. It’s the perfect blend of crisp citrus and warm spice—honestly, it makes ironing feel less like a chore and more like a trip to your favorite bakery. 🍊🍂

Same flawless, wrinkle-free, flake-free finish you love, just with a gorgeous new aroma. Come grab a bottle before the shop smells too good and we keep it all for ourselves!

Pro Tip:
Erin mixes her scents with unscented to keep them from being overwhelming. Just mix 1/4 scent with 3/4 unscented in your misting bottle and you’re good to go!
