Sometimes the perfect thread match is this easy. 💛

Canary was the perfect match for this Ryerson University block — bright enough to show beautifully against the navy while coordinating with the gold lettering.

I used simple diagonal quilting lines to keep the focus on the original embroidered design.

New in the shop 🇨🇦

I’ve added Canadian-made Silly Moon quilting rulers to Lori’s Quilting Shop, along with my curated selection of Glide thread.

These rulers are designed to help create smooth lines, curves, and more consistent quilting results, whether you’re quilting on a longarm or domestic machine.

If you’re not sure where to start, I’ve created a Signature Canadian Bundle 🍁 — a fun starter set with rulers, thread, and a little Canadian touch.

To celebrate the launch:
15% off Silly Moon rulers (pre-order)
Use code SILLYMOON15

I’ll be placing my first order on March 23rd, and pre-orders help shape what I bring in.

🎄✨ Agreeing 100% with — Christmas bows are ridiculously fun to make!

This one is extra sweet: I fussy-cut all the little snowmen, and of course the grey snowflakes have small maple leafs… because 🇨🇦 eh? 😄🍁

Once I track down my door hanger, I’ll take a proper beauty shot — but I couldn’t resist sharing this festive bow in the meantime!
