Wine Country Quilting

Nestled in wine country just 15 miles west of Niagara Falls, Fonthill, Ontario is home to The Quilting Bee. Taking its name from traditional quilting bees, Kelly Corfe's shop is housed in a log cabin-style building. The building also houses a gift shop, restaurant, and ice cream parlor.

Room to Bloom Color Option

In place of the appliqué and embroidery, quilt test Laura Boehnke featured large-scale florals with a slightly retro flair in the center heart and border of Room to Bloom. Fabrics are from the Veranda collection for Maywood Studio.
