You’ll discover E&E’s Cloth &
Creations in a quaint, brick building in
the centre of the small town of Newton.
They’ve been selling quality fabrics to
people from near and far for over 30
years now. Many people make quilts out
of the cloth, but also clothing, masks,
purses, receiving blankets, and more. It
is a store where they might know you by
name—that very small-town feel.
E&E stands for the names of the
owners Edgar & Emmaline Wagler.
Emmaline’s sister Darlene helps in the
store as well as Emmaline’s daughter
Lanelle.
They also do zipper repairs,
sewing machine repairs, Newtex
dry cleaning, custom curtain orders
and custom hand and machine
quilting. The Wagler family also
sells garden vegetable seeds,
sewing machines, and pillow forms.
“I enjoy the interaction with my
customers. That’s a big part of it.
We have the post office as well,
so then I get to meet every new
person that comes to town. I enjoy
that. Just the customer service is
what I love to do,” said Emmaline
Wagler.
In 31 years, there is a wider
range of fabric than years ago. You
have choices of solids and prints—
Canadian prints, beach fabric, NHL
flannel, travel theme with the Eiffel
tower on it, flowers, butterflies,
stars, you name it.
Cloth & Creations
of Newton
By Wendy Rutherford, Baden
In the fall and the winter they have
classes, such as making placemats and
table runners and more. It is yet to be
determined when those will start up
again. They are now selling a kit with
blocks to make a quilt, which is a good
way of passing the time.
During COVID shutdowns the post
office can be open, but they need
to bring bolts of cloth to the front of
store. (curbside pick-up) “It has been
challenging and a lot of work, but it
works,” said Wagler, “A lot of people
have been sewing!”
