Hi there fellow quilters. Now that the province has eased restrictions, this post is to let you know that yes, we are open to the public and we STILL REQUIRE masks to be used. I’m not sure when we might lift this, other than when we can open windows and/or most of the children under 12 have been vaccinated.

My aim is to use the blog more on our site, so stay tuned! (If you are reading this on Facebook, the automatic sharing worked. YAY!)

If you’re reading this and not local in New Brunswick, our government had another press conference about the rising COVID case numbers. They have moved hospitals to their level 3 guidelines, and schools K-12 are going online only for two weeks, but nothing else will be changed.

Yet.

Out of an abundance of caution, and the knowledge that COVID is airborne and doesn’t care what you are doing where, our shop is moving to online only until January 31st. I picked the dates the same as the school system, not because I have kids that young, but because it’s easier to keep track of if large chunks of people are using the same dates.

So while we did rig up an air filter, the space is enclosed enough that I cannot in good conscience take any chances or encourage people to be out and about. We are doing this ahead of any move to Level 3, because by then we feel it will be too late.

I can say I will work with you as much as I can, so I can bring items to your car if needed, for color or size check. Online ordering with pickup is encouraged. I will be starting up the Wednesday videos again and am hoping to maybe do some extra ones.

Inventory is almost done and we have some goods to clear out and put on SALE! So I gotta show you these thing some way, right?

Merry Christmas!

We will be closed for the holidays and inventory starting December 23rd and running through to January 3rd.

It is possible we pay push back reopening depending on OVID cases and general life / winter weather. Please call ahead if you were planning on stopping in.

Our shop will be closed until December 18th, next Friday. Someone in our household has received an exposure notice and is self-monitoring for symptoms.

We would like you reassure you this is not an exposure notice for the shop. Closing the shop is a precaution to protect us all.

Online shopping with no contact pickup is still available. You can also get a gift card for someone, or send the link to anyone shopping for you.

Thank you so much for your continued support!

Andrea, Ron, and Emma

Well, as a former web developer I couldn’t stand it any more and switched the design and layout of the entire site. I hope you find it easier to use and navigate. As always, if you find an issue, things are missing, something doesn’t make sense, just contact us.

For the technical bits, our site is run on WordPress with WooCommerce as the shop, using the Stationary child theme for Storefront.

You may shop in person as long as you are wearing a mask and are vaccinated. We have also adjusted our closing time to 4pm.

Sorry, have to take care of some family issues and have to close for the day. Thanks for understanding?

We are back to being open for in store shopping and of course you may continue to do curbside pickup if you wish.

For the holidays, our last day of in store shopping will be Saturday December 19th. Our online shop will continue to be open until December 23rd.

We will be closed – including online – from December 24th through to January 4th.

During closing, we will be doing inventory and spiffing up the site a bit to make sure as many items show up for you to browse online.

Thanks for your understanding!

I spent a couple hours yesterday pouring over guidelines and making sure I have a COVID operational plan in place despite difficulties. Then it occured to me that as a HOME based business, in the orange phase we have single household bubbles. That effectively shuts us down for in store shopping. So, it is not unexpected. Given we are also getting closer the Christmas, I expect we will be online only until the end of the year. That being said, I will be extended the Black Friday Week sales and making sure the website is updated to reflect that. Since we ran online orders with local pickups all summer, everything is all set up and all our processes are in place. Our shopping cart works just like any other site you may have used to order online in the past. If you do have problems, of course you can call or message or email and I will help you sort it out. We can take your credit card over the phone if you are not comfortable with ordering online. However, this means that we basically fill out an online order for you. It is safe and secure – just like in store shopping. Most orders can usually be picked up later that same day. In the morning, I prepare any orders that came in overnight or late the previous day. Orders placed mid afternoon or later are usually filled by the next day. If you do need something urgently, please let us know.

It took a while but we are now open for IN STORE SHOPPING.

4 people max, masks must be worn.
