I wandered into Sugar Pine expecting to find some lovely fabrics. But I was amazed at the size of the store, and the extensive selection of fabrics, all beautifully arranged, with lots of precuts, too. Many gorgeous quilts are also displayed, with patterns or kits available for most. Any other Covid-quilting-newbies like me? You need to know about this place! It’s worth a trip to Canmore.

Elizabeth and Christine gave us a very interesting and informative tour of the factory. There was 4 people in our group and Christine offered to give us a tour as soon as we arrived. The jewelry is beautiful and creative and we were impressed with the artwork it was very unique using the ammonite gems. The displays were very informative also with a very comprehensive explanation of the mining and process to create the stone. Definitely worth taking a tour.
