Where every quilt is a story and every story is stitched with love.
Based in La Ronge, Saskatchewan, in the heart of Canada's Boreal Forest, Timeless Quilt Studio creates modern quilt patterns that blend traditional blocks with storytelling, symbolism, and meaningful design. Through quilt patterns, longarm quilting services, and quilting education, owner Krista Russell, helps quilters turn fabric, memories, and ideas into quilts that tell a story.
Timeless Quilt Studio is also passionate about improving access to sewing and quilting supplies in Northern Saskatchewan while helping connect and support the many quilters and sewists who call the north home.

Quilting wasn’t even my idea, it was my husband’s!
Hi! I am Krista Russell, the pattern designer and long arm quilter behind Timeless Quilt Studio. My husband and I currently reside in La Ronge, Saskatchewan. We just just moved this summer (2025) from Regina. I had forgotten how amazing small towns are. I am looking forward to all the quilty ways I’ll be able to engage in my new community here.
My quilting journey began with my second wedding anniversary. I decided that cloth napkins in our wedding colours were a must for our cotton anniversary. I didn’t know how to sew, didn’t have a sewing machine, and had no one to make them for me. What is a woman to do, but go buy a sewing machine!
My husband and I went shopping at the local quilt store which happens to be a block away from our home. While I was busy with machine demos, my husband was looking at all the quilts on display. On our way home, machine in hand, my husband informed he needed a quilt after those napkins were made. I did some research and found Melanie Hamm’s first quilt tutorial. I was hooked with that first quilt!
