Shirley has been sewing since she was a teenager.  Along with her immense knowledge, Shirley is a loving wife and mother, a terrific cook, and a great woman and saleslady.  She's great at ideas and getting things started....but as she'll tell you herself, the royal "WE" (staff) always finishes it!  (Her nickname is "the Princess"....you'll have to ask the staff why, if you don't already know!)

John is always willing to help out at the store.  The staff go directly to him whenever they have something they just cannot do.

Also THE BEST maid they've ever had!  Whether it's filling the fridge with drinks, bringing the girls treats, or risking his life hanging quilts, John is the go-to guy!

You don't have to see her work to figure out her level of expertise and experience, all you have to do is attend one of her classes.  Doreen has taught all her life (31 years teaching in schools!) and loves what she does.  She goes above and beyond to help everyone who comes into the store.

We are sew very fortunate to have her and her laughter as part of our family.  A day without Doreen is like a day without sunshine!

Her machine quilting is outstanding and will make your quilts future heirlooms.

Very artistic and one-of-a-kind, Tracey is the person to go to have your quilts machine-quilted.

Her students love her because she brings humour and passion to every class!

The best fabric organizer there is and very knowledgeable about quilting.  Sharon's very artistic for 'off-the-wall' kind of projects.  She likes 'far out and funky' ideas and very brightly coloured things.

The customers love her because she is so helpful and good at choosing colours and fabrics for your projects.

Did you know that Sharon actually came from the fashion industry?  She used to be a pattern maker.  But from the time she created her first quilt, she decided she could fit a wall better than a figure, and has never looked back!   

Marcie comes with many years of experience in all aspects of quilting.  Her love of the traditional quilting ways mixed with her talents and creativity when it comes to free-motion work on her domestic machine make her a plethora of information.

Taking a class with Marcie ensures you are "doin' it right" - no cutting corners.  Her passion for teaching is obvious; for her students and herself, and it shows!

We are happy she is part of our family.

Barb is to the Ultimate Sewing Centre, what oil is to your machine.  She keeps the USC running smoothly.  Without her help, copies wouldn't get made, files would not be kept organized, and most importantly, she keeps our suppliers happy, ensuring that they continue to supply us with all the treasures you fondle in the store.

This woman is ultra-efficient, fun, and has a great sense of humour.  (Loves to travel and likes Tequila!)

Bonnie jumps in and helps wherever she is needed.  Her wonderful colour sense will greatly help when choosing fabrics for your projects.

Shirley can remember when they first met, Bonnie came in asking for the "ugliest fabric" she had.  Low and behold she came back having made the most beautiful bag with it!

Bonnie's a professional.  From her impeccable 'dressing to the nines' to her quiet professionalism, she's an absolute hit with the customers and staff!
