Love, love, love this gem of a quilt shop! Erin and her staff are amazingly knowledgeable and helpful. The shop is welcoming and hosts fabulous classes, events and therapy sessions(aka finishing Fridays). Gorgeous fabrics, artful kits, excellent machines and accessories, useful tools wrapped up in an inspirational space. Congratulations on 25 years! So excited for you 😍 Tracey

I stopped by the other day to replace my sewing machine needle as I kept breaking mine. Heather took such a genuine interest in my first quilting project that she was able to identify my issue and recommend the correct needles (tip: universal needles don't quilt denim well. You need a denim needle for that. Also denim isn't the best fabric for quilting). I spent over an hour chatting, Heather is such a charismatic gem! She gave such wonderful advice and has made my quilting journey much easier and more enjoyable. I highly recommend Around the Block, I will definitely be back.

10/10 my favorite quilt shop ever. Erin and Heather are wonderful! The lovely quilts and patterns spark a creative joy and inspiration about quiting I never knew I had. I am not a quilter but coming to this shop and talking to the employees makes me want to buy a sewing machine! If you're ever coming through Beaverlodge and want a friendly chat, this is the place to go even if you aren't a quilter!

Around the Block is a wonderful place to visit for the experienced quilter to the basic beginner. They have the most helpful, knowledgeable staff, outstanding fabrics and goodies to add to your sewing supplies, classes and a friendly small town welcome! Certainly a place to stop and grab your next project!

Everytime I pass thru Beaverlodge I have to swing into Around The Block. Erin and her staff are always so excited about new fabric or even helping you find what you are looking for. They put together some absolutely beautiful kits and are always there to help you with your project!! Love this store!!!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5 stars)
“Around the Block in Beaverlodge, Alberta, is a quilter’s dream come true, and Erin, the owner, is the fabric wizard I desperately needed! She helped me pick the perfect colors and fabrics for a homemade girls’ bunk bed project that’s now a masterpiece—if I do say so myself. Meanwhile, Erin and her stellar employee Lindsay teamed up to rescue my 15-year-overdue wall hanging from its sad closet exile. They’ve got an incredible selection, endless know-how, and just enough humor to keep me from stitching myself into a pickle. This place is a local treasure—don’t miss it if you’re anywhere near Beaverlodge!”

Driving through Beaverlodge and my sleeping bag had a slight tear.. and there was a sewing store! Swung in and asked the owner if she could help me. She stopped what she was doing, at closing time, and repaired my bag free of cost!

A really nice gesture by a genuinely good person - cannot recommend highly enough.
