I am so happy to be back! I had a wonderful time in Vancouver for the past 6 months spoiling our grandchildren. BUT there are no shops down there that satisfied my craving for fabric! I came “home” a few times and made sure that I made time to come to Thread and Paper. It was wonderful to walk in the door and be greeted by a smile and a warm hello. The shop is just amazing. So many items displayed to help give you ideas, great staff to answer questions and show you where to look when you can’t seem to find what you want, and on top of it all, when there is something the shop…by some miracle…does not have in stock already, the staff is happy to order it for you!! I love the shop and can only encourage anyone interested in knitting, quilting, scrapbooking…don’t look any further..you have found the best place to look right here in Salmon Arm. Thank you Carol and all your great staff!

Machine Repair EVERY Wednesday Machines will be serviced (and scissors sharpened) IN the store. What this means is you could wait as little as one day. Machines can still be dropped off or picked up anytime during our open hours. You do not need an appointment, just bring your machine in any time. The best plan would be to drop off before 11 am on Wednesday (or Monday or Tuesday is even better) Basic Sewing machine service $100 Electronic Sewing Machine Service $110 Serger Service $110 Embroidery Machine Service $120 Scissor sharpening $5 Spring Loaded scissor sharpening $7.50 Here is another stunning block of the month featuring Northcott‘s Banyan Batiks! This stunner is designed by Mimi Hollenbaugh and Pat Syta of Bound To Be Quilting in Colorado. Pat and Mimi met while working at and designing for a Colorado quilt shop. They started their company in 2016 and have been designing unique quilting patterns ever since! The Solare block of the month pattern has multiple blocks that are a little more challenging but wouldn’t be considered difficult. We think this quilt will appeal to intermediate quilters. For the coloration of this quilt, we strove for an earth and sky look using browns, oranges and greens that reflect nature, with the blues and golds of the heavens; a combination that should appeal to both men and women. As well, use your leftover fabric to make a bonus companion block as a great way to accessorize your room to match your new quilt. Use it as a throw pillow or turn it into a wall hanging. Complete instructions are included in the pattern and the finished size is 24” x 24”. Your kit includes pattern, all fabrics and binding to finish your quilt top. This Class will run on the 2nd and 4th Thursday of each month so that you can complete your quilt before summer (Think of it as 2 blocks per month) ***please note, Januray dates are not 2nd and 4th as planned** Finished Size: 99” x 99” The cost is $36 per class and this includes the fabric for your blocks Teacher: Carol You will be able to complete all of your future quilts with confidence.
