This is a great fabric and quilting store to buy fabric and take classes in. A huge bonus is that it is near to where I live and has tons of parking in front. It is about half way between Sidney and Victoria.
What I especially like is that the sale staff are very knowledgeable and don't rush you when you ask questions. Also there is a good sales area where you can get really nice quality fabric marked off, which I find great for quilting.

They have some excellent reasonably priced classes and workshops which I have enjoyed, as I still consider myself somewhat a beginner. I also like that they don't carry machines because when I took a previous class elsewhere, in another city, there seemed to be a constant push to upgrade my machine.

There doesn't seem to be e a website. at least I couldn't find it, and this would really help as it saves calling about hours, sales etc. I found a class list online and put that at the top.
