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.

Incredible custom quilting. The texture and movement elevate the entire piece—truly a work of art by Silver Fox Quilting

Thread selection doesn’t have to be complicated.

Based on insights shared by experienced quilters, a clear set of core principles has been compiled to simplify quilting thread selection — focusing on value, blending, and quilt complexity rather than exact colour matching.

What’s new:
📖 A practical blog post on how experienced quilters choose thread
🧾 A printable thread-selection quick reference guide
🧵 Shop-curated Glide thread bundles built around real quilting needs

These bundles are designed for real quilts — whether you want one thread for most projects, reliable warm or cool neutrals, or confident options for dark backgrounds and busy prints.

🎄✨ 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!

✨ What an amazing weekend at Quilts in a Small Town! ✨
It was so nice to meet so many fellow Glide thread lovers in person — thank you to everyone who stopped by my very first booth. 💕

I was thrilled to hear how much interest there was in the new Picasso 40wt Trilobal Polyester – Made in Canada thread line. This beautiful thread is now in stock and available through my website 🖥️ (link in bio).

Thank you to the Almonte Quilters Guild and all the volunteers for putting on such a welcoming show. 🧵💫

The Mad About Patchwork Quilt Walk is a lovely way to view quilts, as their video shows.

This is such a wonderful way to view quilts. So lucky to live here in the Ottawa area.

Mad About Patchwork has already welcomed more than 1,800 visitors to its outdoor quilt trail this weekend. And it still runs Sunday September 21, 2025 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

If you live near Stittsville, Ontario, check it out. Admission is free but donations go to Quilts for Survivors, Quilts of Valour and Victoria Quilts.
