I'm relatively new to quilting, but decided to stop in during my visit to Yellowknife to pick up a souvenir. The staff is super friendly and showed me around the store, including their special Canada / Northern Lights fabrics. They seemed to have everything you could need as a quilter! I picked up some fat quarters and a pair of pillowcase kits that will help us remember our trip.

My daughter and I booked a really great staycation workshop and found it to be fun, and informative. Also reasonably priced considering it's about 2 hours and you get a mug or glass which would be $30 anyplace else anyways. The owner, Matthew was fun and catered the workshop to my able 12yr old. A little history of Old town Yellowknife was thrown in for fun. Making it better could be to offer something with the use of one's newly crafted glass---like a coffee in your new mug or whatever. But otherwise---it was a blast and well worth the small expense of take part. And a super friendly thing to do which hasn't changed much since COVID--a rare thing to see these days. I hope these covid restrictions in the NWT are put to bed soon.

Friendly, helpful and knowledgeable staff/owners. Not only telling us about the artisans, but also suggested places to see & things to do while we were visiting. Beautiful glow in the dark aurora paintings, mugs, handmade bison wallets, moccasins are a few things you will find here. We went back a few times. Thanks for the advice!

They show good film about NWT diamonds were found and mined. A tour guide then gave us further information via photos and artifacts in the store. Worth a stop to learn how diamonds are extracted and polished.
