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

Excited for Fall & New Beginnings!

Hi Everyone!

I am pleased to announce that on Saturday September 5th 2015, I will be hosting my fall open house, from 10AM-2PM.

As usual, this day will provide students with an opportunity to register for fall classes, choose projects, etc.
(Fall classes will officially begin on Saturday September 12th 2015)

However, I am super excited to share with all of you, that beginning on September 5th, you will be able to shop at Quilter's Workshop, and find a variety of products handmade by local artists who I know personally from my past participation in craft show events.

I have dreamed and wished for a long time, that I will one day have a store-front. This opportunity is the first step of many that I plan to take, to someday develop my business to be able to support myself entirely. I have been working very hard to develop my business over the past six and a half years and am absolutely thrilled to be able to display the works of local crafters and continue to teach my classes.
I am a firm believer in supporting small businesses and shopping local. Leading up to the holidays, Quilter's Workshop will be the perfect location to pick up a variety of gift items, each unique and made with love.

Below is a small ad that I have been sharing with my clients and current students, regarding all the information for the grand opening day.

Over the next couple of weeks I will be posting updates and photos of products that will be available at Quilter's Workshop. Stay tuned!

I hope that everyone enjoys the remainder of summer and I am so excited to re-launch my business for all of you this fall.

Love, Tiffany

Getting Ready...

Hello Everyone!

Firstly, I want to share with you an adorable little bunny who will make your Monday much more bearable!

He has been visiting my yard almost everyday! I love when I catch a glimpse out the window and see him nibbling on the weeds!

Second, I have been very busy (as always!) Prepping for upcoming fall craft shows, finishing up the last two weeks of my summer sewing classes, getting ready for my big move, etc.

How adorable is this little pillow that I was working on recently?
Soon you'll be able to purchase pillows like this, as well as many more items...at a location that is TBA! Keep checking back for more info!

Hope everyone enjoys the last two weeks of summer!

Love, Tiffany

Embellishing Towels (Without Embroidery!)

Hi Everyone!

In the past, I made a YouTube video tutorial, explaining how to use your embroidery machine to embellish hand towels.

However, it has come to my attention that you can embellish towels (just as nicely!) without an embroidery machine! Using up some scraps, or some of your favourite fabrics.

These can be made in a matter of minutes, hopefully using supplies that you may already have lying around. And wouldn't they make perfect little gifts/stocking stuffers! (It's never too soon to be talking about Christmas!)

Happy Decorating!

Toddler Aviator Hat

Hi Everyone!

I just wanted to make a quick post about this adorable little hat that I recently made.

Its made of pink gingham flannel and lined with lime green bubble-plush minky.

I would just like to note that I did not design the pattern. I simply came across it on Pinterest. I did utilize the pattern templates, however I didn't bother reading the directions, as I find that I prefer to do things my own method. 

I'm so in love with how cute it turned out, that I wanted to share it with you, to inspire everyone to start thinking of fall projects! 

Happy Sewing, 

Love, 

Tiffany 

120 Cupcakes

Hello Everyone!

Happy Monday!

Over the weekend I was working on a cupcake order for a retirement party. The order was for 120 cupcakes, and I thought that the design I did was quite versatile and would be cute for bridal showers, baby showers, or even summer birthday parties! So I filmed a little video while I was working.
