Did you know we carry Lamifix from Pellon? Lamifix is an iron-on protective laminate that adds a clear gloss finish to your projects. Pressure sensitive for easy application and sewing machine friendly. Lamifix is water-repellant and protects fabrics from stains while still keeping fabric flexible. Great for lunch boxes/bags, baby bibs, diaper bags, travel changing pads, outdoor furniture covers, coasters and other craft projects. Free projects using this product are available at www.pellonprojects.com. Can be handwashed in cold water or wiped with a damp cloth; 100% acrylic.

Hyde Park Road construction update:
While they still can, construction crews will be concentrating on Sarnia Road and the CP bridge overpass. They will probably halt construction over the winter months and begin again in the Spring, next year. We are not anticipating roadwork in front of the shop until June/July. Access to our plaza will be maintained; and a special shop feature will also be maintained during construction - more to come on that in 2015. Once they begin at this end of Hyde Park Road, construction will move swiftly - these fellas know what they are doing. I was pleasantly surprised to see how quickly they did the roadwork at the south end.

This morning, I left early to run an errand. Didn't happen. Got stuck in barely moving traffic on Hyde Park Road going North. I would advise anyone coming to the shop today to take Wonderland to Gainsborough to Hyde Park, or come from Fanshawe Rd. What should have taken me 10 mins to reach the shop from home, took 35 mins. Must be working on the rail overpass and/or Sarnia Rd.
So, for those who do come today, we'll have a Pop-Up Sale - 30% off all fabrics!!! Let's have some fun!!

I would highly recommend obtaining these new magazines if you like to decorate, craft, cook/bake for the holidays. A few customers and I were pouring over these mags and ooohhing and aaahhing, lightbulbs going off - yes we can make those, and those and those and then eat that or that and/or that. (Food is an important equation in the quilting scheme of things.)

We had a wonderful time at the Memory Lane Quilt Show this past Saturday. Thank you for the support of many who came to see us.
Unfortunately, a few people did not receive their discount that day. I sincerely apologize for this oversight. If you paid by cash and did not receive your discount, please bring your receipt in to the shop. If you paid by credit card, the amount charged to your card will reflect the discount. Thanks for your patience. Gotta stay on decaf during shows.

You are invited to join us for a Wimpy 24-Hour Pillowcase
Sewathon on Friday, September 19th, from 3pm to midnight, and resuming
on Saturday, September 20th, from 8am to 3pm. Seeing as not many can sew for 24 hours
straight, yours truly included, we decided to hold a ‘wimpy’ sewathon.
All pillowcases will count towards the 1 Million Pillowcase
Challenge and will be donated to local charity organizations, e.g. Merrymount
Centre, Children’s Aid Society, Children’s Hospital of Western Ontario, LHSC,
etc.
Don’t know how to sew a pillowcase? We will show you how. Those
who are experienced at making pillowcases can really make a difference during
this event.
You will need to bring your sewing machine (a couple of
machines are available at the shop). All
fabrics and threads will be supplied.
Coffee, tea, bottled water, and munchies will be provided
throughout the Sewathon. For those
staying on through lunch and dinner hours, we’ll be ordering pizza and/or Swiss
Chalet, or you can bring your own. Of
course, Porcino’s Restaurant at the end of our plaza provides take-out. So as you can see, we have options re
sustenance. Then there are the always-present chocolate perks.
All participants who bring in a canned good for the Food
Bank, will receive 15% off any purchases made during the Sewathon.
A $50.00 gift certificate will be awarded to the participant
who makes the most pillowcases at the event.
Let’s make a difference in someone’s life and put a smile on
their face, let them know someone cares.
Join us for the Wimpy 24-Hour
Pillowcase Sewathon. You can stay an
hour, two, three, or throughout – your choice.
Register now – (519) 518-0110.
We are the only registered Canadian shop participating in this
event. For a list of all shops, click

2. Last day to bring a quilt in to claim a prize is Oct. 31.
3. No row patterns or kits will be available after Sept. 2.

Many of you have asked about the pattern for the Stretched 9-Patch Placemats we have on display on the wall behind the cutting table. Made by Janet McClure, these mats were from a pattern featured in Quilter's World December 2012.
GOOD NEWS!!
Quilter's World November 2014, now out in the stores, has reprinted this pattern in their issue of Quilting for the Holidays - 40 Projects.
