Simple 3-Yard Formula: Take one panel plus two coordinating 1-yard cuts of fabric, and you’ve got a complete, stunning quilt top!

Creative Panel Framing: Packed with fresh, clever layouts designed to make your central panel pop without complicated piecing.

Instant Inspiration: Perfect for quick weekend builds, cozy throws, or fast holiday gifts!

We have a wonderful assortment of panels sitting on the shelves at the store right now just waiting for their perfect match! 🖼️✨

Looking for a fresh, cozy winter project to add to your stitching queue? Take a look at this dream combination! 🧵✨

We’ve paired the gorgeous Snowflake quilt pattern by Modern Handcraft Quilts with the new Snow Crystals Christmas fabric line that recently arrived in the shop!

Why We Love This Combo:
Versatile Design: The Snowflake pattern can be made as a striking, graphic two-tone quilt OR as a scrappy version to show off a whole palette of fabrics.

Dreamy Winter Palette: The soft, icy blues in the Snow Crystals collection create the dreamiest, gentlest background, while crisp, sparkly whites bring that snowflake focal point to life!

Whether you want to go classic two-tone or mix and match all those lovely blues and whites for a scrappy winter masterpiece, this combination is pure magic.

It's worth the drive to Beaverlodge to see Snow Crystals on the shelf, grab the Snowflake pattern, and plan your winter palette in person! 🚗💨

🎨 BIG Batik News: New 1895 Watercolors are on the Way! 🎨
If you've visited the shop, you know we strive to stock the ENTIRE line of Hoffman 1895 Watercolor Batiks (1897 in Canada) —and keeping those shelves full is no small job!

Did you know quilt fabrics are ordered months in advance? We just placed our order for the brand-new 1895 colours arriving on the shelf next spring! 🌸✨

Why is this HUGE news for Legit Kits & Quiltworx fans?
Quiltworx Lovers: Judy Niemeyer and the Quiltworx team frequently feature 1895 Watercolors in their iconic paper-pieced foundation patterns.

Legit Kits Enthusiasts: We "translate" the standard Kona or Confetti Solids called for in Legit Kits patterns into vibrant Hoffman 1895 Watercolors! This makes us truly unique in Canada for creating fully customized batik Legit Kits with incredible flow, depth, and texture.

🖼️ Inspiration Around Every Corner!
Our shop gallery wall is always changing and expanding with fresh sample quilts—including our latest batik Legit Kits builds!

It's worth the drive to Beaverlodge to browse our batik wall in person, marvel at the gallery wall, or talk to us about custom-translating your next Legit Kit project into batiks! 🚗💨

✨ Customer Showcase & Machine Spotlight!
Check out this absolutely stunning embroidery project created by one of our talented customers, Kerry! 🧵🪡

Kerry embroidered the incredible "Gilded Rainbow Wing" design by Urban Threads right onto the back of a hoodie, and we couldn't be more obsessed with how it turned out! It’s such a brilliant example of how much fun—and how versatile—machine embroidery can be when you take it beyond quilt blocks and onto everyday wear.

Big Designs Need Big Power!
A massive, detailed design like this requires a larger hoop size—which was zero problem at all for the Husqvarna Viking Designer Epic 3!

This top-of-the-line machine is built to handle oversized embroidery hoops with complete ease and precision, giving you:

Massive Embroidery Area: Hoop up large-scale jacket backs, whole quilt blocks, and continuous borders without constant re-hooping.

Precision Positioning: Place intricate designs exactly where you want them on finished garments.

Flawless Stitch Quality: Smooth feeding and superior tension control, even through thick hoodie fleece!

Whether you’re dreaming up custom apparel or giant quilt blocks, having the right machine in your studio makes all the difference.

It's worth the drive to Beaverlodge to see the Designer Epic 3 in action, explore our embroidery supplies, or get inspired for your next big wearable project!

Way to go, Kerry! Thank you for sharing your amazing work with us!!

Willow is hard at work pulling fabrics for another custom Legit Kits order!

Did you know we specialise in custom batik interpretations of these magnificent paper-pieced masterpieces?
