Quilt stamps? Woo hoo!

Our quilts stamps celebrate Canada’s rich quilting heritage through two quilts from the Royal Ontario Museum’s permanent collection.

Quilts are stories well told, one stitch at a time. Whether created for warmth or as artistic expression, each one speaks through its materials and craft.

In every quilt, memory is made visible, and history is held close – stitched into form with purpose and pride.

Pick up a set of these quilts stamps today! https://bit.ly/4cPOHpk

Special thanks to the Royal Ontario Museum for their collaboration on this stamp issue.

In March, we look forward to welcoming Teresa Duryea-Wong for an online only meeting via Zoom.

Go back in time, to a fascinating point in Japan’s history when cotton & indigo – two epic plants – forever changed Japan’s textile world. Meet the masters who are preserving the old traditions of indigo dyeing and meet the quilters who have dedicated their quiltmaking to working with antique cotton. Learn the stories behind traditional cotton textiles such as kasuri, katazome and kimono cloth and how a handful of Japanese weavers are continuing these traditions into the 21st century. Go inside Japan’s esteemed textile printing mills and hear why the finest quilting cotton in the world is currently printed in Japan.

Teresa will also provide a sneak peak into her newest book on Kawaii Applique Quilts from Japan, based on a Japanese culture of cuteness so pervasive it has its own name, and now means almost anything cool, beautiful or nice and has influenced a new genre of quilts.

I have a few spots open in the late summer for edge to edge quilting and then I will be taking a bit of a break to get everything ready for our daughter's wedding this fall (sewing her wedding dress)

I still have lots of spots available for Christmas quilts in November (book now if you have gifts to give)
