Welcome to Quiltessential Co. Inc!
As an extension of Ingrid Machtemes’ passion for quilting, Quiltessential Co.Inc. has grown to serve the quilting needs of St. Albert, Sturgeon County, Parkland County, the greater Edmonton area, and points beyond. Quiltessential Co.’s knowledgeable and enthusiastic staff seek to inspire, teach, encourage and assist quilters to appreciate and enjoy the art of quilting. Available in person, by phone and through email, we hope to provide you with the patterns, kits, books, materials, tools, and supplies you need to get as much pleasure from quilting as we do. So whether you want to stop by to drool over the latest fabric, seek advice on color coordination, or just talk quilting, call or stop by. We would love to help you succeed! We also do long arm quilting on our Gammill machines upstairs.

We have many items that are Canadian.

We do not grow cotton here, but we do support Canadian designers (I am one too!) and Canadian items. In store or on the website, we have yarns from Alberta, handmade puzzles from Calgary, bags, bowls and items designed by Canadian indigenous artists and fabrics. We proudly sell notions and patterns that are Canadian too. Please always ask us about our items and we are happy to tell you all about their origin. We are waiting for a lot more indigenous fabrics, patterns, socks designed in Ontario and more to arrive over the next few weeks.As many of you know we work on and facilitate over 400 quilts to be donated in Alberta each year - we work hard in our community and are proud to do so.
