Around the Block

Officially chosen a project to work on with the proceeds from my Mariners Compass quilt draw.

I’ll be making an Everest The Golden Retreiver quilt for the Partner Up Foundation….. Partner Up Foundation raises funds to assist residents in the Peace Country purchase service dogs.

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!

👜 New Store Sample: The Divided Tablet Tote! 🐟🎀
If you are looking for your next favourite (and most useful!) bag project, look no further! We are so excited to show off our brand-new store sample of the Divided Tablet Tote, which is a brand-new pattern release by Canadian designer MaTante Quilting!

Our lovely Heather made this gorgeous version using the stunning "Sophishticated" fabric by Tula Pink 🐠✨. The vibrant fish prints look absolutely incredible on this layout, and Heather even added the optional little bow attachment for the perfect finishing touch!

We absolutely love supporting fellow Canadian pattern designers, and we can already tell this bag is an absolute winner. It's structural, practical, and a great way to showcase your favourite feature fabrics. Instructions include 3 versions.

🎀 Love the Bow Detail?
If you want to add that same sweet little bow to your tote (or any other bag!), head over to Shelly’s page at to grab her free download template! You will find the link when you browse the details of this new pattern.

🛍️ Stop in or Shop Online:
Pop into Around the Block Quilt Shop to see Heather's beautiful sample in person and check out the pattern—it's worth the drive to Beaverlodge! You can also find it online on our Canadian store website. 💻🧵
