Durham Craft & Gift Show 2016

Hi Everyone!

Excited to announce that this year will be my sixth consecutive year participating in the annual Durham Craft & Gift Show, by Metroland Media.

Come check it out this weekend - October 21st-23rd held at the Durham College/UOIT Campus, 2000 Simcoe St. N. in Oshawa!

Please use this coupon and enjoy the show for FREE! (Regular admission $6)

Custom Order and Website Launch!

Hi Everyone,

This is a very busy week for me!
I'm prepping for my next (and last) craft show of the season! On Saturday November 14th I will be at the West Rouge community centre in Scarborough.

As well, I have a lovely group of volunteers who has been helping out over the past couple of months, getting ready for our holiday donation. We've been making pillowcases that will be donated to the Denise House, and small blankets that will be donated to a local shelter that helps abused, neglected and senior cats. We've made great progress so far and I will be posting photos soon!


And finally, today I will be advertising a "soft launch" of my new website! My website currently features photos of my students' work, as well as items available for purchase in-store by my consigners! The "cart" feature is not fully complete so stay tuned for photos of individual products & their prices! You can check out my website HERE


This week I also completed a custom order, for two memory pillows. I absolutely love the idea of these, as keepsakes not only after the passing of a loved one, but even for someone who is moving away, etc. (The shirt can be unbuttoned to remove the pillow form, to wash the outside covering if needed)

I believe that these pillows are going to be given as Christmas gifts. I can't think of a more touching and beautiful gift to receive. 

If you are interested in having pillows like these made, feel free to send me an E-mail at quilters.workshop@gmail.com 

What have you been working on lately?

Happy Quilting,
Love, Tiffany

Re-launching Quilter's Workshop!

Hi Everyone!

It has been quite a while since I shared a post!

Some of you may already be aware, but I have re-launched my business so that it now includes a small-scale gift shop!
All of the products that I have on display in my store are all handmade by local artisans.

Today, I will be introducing "Paper Kreations by Jackie"

Jackie sells a variety of homemade cards, ready-made scrapbook albums and other fun paper crafts. You can now find a variety of her products inside Quilter's Workshop! (Now located at 152 Brock St. N. downtown Whitby)

To view her other items, or to place a custom order, please visit her Facebook page by clicking HERE

I am so so honoured to have a lovely variety of incoming products from local crafters who I have come to know personally, by participating in craft show events, over the past several years. Shopping local and supporting small businesses is very important to me, and I hope that I can provide a perfect selection of gift items leading up to the holidays.

Over the next several weeks I will be posting photos of what products are available! Stay tuned!
Current "store hours" include Friday evenings from 4pm-7pm, Saturdays from 9am-5pm, or by appointment.



For anyone who has not yet registered for fall classes, I only have space available in my 9-11AM (Saturday) class! If you are interested in registering, please send an E-mail to quilters.workshop@gmail.com

Brooklin Spring Fair = success!

Hi Everyone!

A big thank you to everyone who came out and supported me this past weekend at the Brooklin Spring Fair! This was the first year for the 50 Mile Market craft show.

It was a very long and exhausting weekend, but definitely worth it! I had a blast meeting lots of people and enjoyed all the events and performances that were going on inside the Luther Vipond Arena (which was where the craft show vendors were set up!)

Out of all of the customers that I had over the weekend, this little lady was definitely my most satisfied customer! I hope she enjoys playing with the pages of her Veggie Tales themed fabric book!

Definitely looking forward to participating next year, and assisting with the development of the second 50 Mile Market!

Just three more Saturday's left of my spring session! I can't believe how quickly this term has passed.
Summer lessons begin on Monday July 6th 2015, and will run every Monday, Wednesday and Thursday evening, from 6:30-8:30PM
If you are still interested in booking summer classes, please contact me ASAP as there are very few spaces available!
You can send me an E-mail at quilters.workshop@gmail.com

To keep up to date on upcoming events, to view photos of my work or the work of my students' you can follow me on Facebook and Instagram, by searching Quilter's Workshop :)

Weekend Results

This past weekend was a busy one for me!

Friday evening was a project class, teaching students how to use photo transfers to embellish stockings.

Here are pictures of all four ladies with their brand new stockings!

On Saturday, I spent the day at All Saints High School in Whitby, in support of the Cuddly Cats Rescue and Sanctuary. The show was a great success for all. I had a fabulous time meeting new "vendor friends" as well! I love having the opportunity to network with other crafters.

This week I am busy busy busy working away at custom orders for Christmas as well as organizing upcoming classes! 

Its a wild and wonderful time of the year! To help boost that holiday spirit, here's a festive photo of my guinea pig :) Isn't he just the cutest? 

Happy Crafting!
Love, Tiffany xo

Holiday Distractions

Is anyone feeling very easily distracted lately? I AM!

I have studying and assignments to do, with finals coming up, but it is SO hard to stay focused when it seems like the people around you are having so much more fun, preparing for the holidays!
I spent some time baking cookies on the weekend, it was a nice break from school work! (What on earth is a quilter doing in a kitchen? I have no idea!)


Also, the Winter edition of Quilter's Connection magazine, that I am being featured in, is now out and available to purchase either online or in store. (mine is in the mail and on it's way from BC. so I have not yet seen it!) It is available at Chapter's or at select quilt shops including Evelyn's in Newmarket and Sew Sister's in Toronto.



I'd much rather be sewing Christmas gifts or shopping or doing more holiday baking, but I am stuck doing school work for another few weeks until the end of finals on December 20th.


The craft show I did on Tuesday night went well too!

I am off to Brampton this weekend for a cheerleading competition, PCA Nationals! Our team is a varsity team, consisting of both Durham College and UOIT students. Very excited!

I wish everyone good luck with avoiding distraction in order to accomplish everything on their to-do list!

November

The craft show held at Durham College proved to be a success! What an exciting weekend and great way to meet other crafters and people who appreciate your art.
I'll be at a craft show, held this coming Saturday november 12th, 10AM-4PM at the Ajax Community Centre.

I'm working away at a few new ideas for Christmas gifts, I have 2 large quilts that are waiting to be bound and several smaller projects on the go. I will post pictures as soon as I complete them! It would be very inspiring for Christmas ideas.
