a peak at Dear William

001jpgHere is a sneak peak at Michelle Hills new Block of the Month  Dear William.  What to say about this one … its look great, and Janine has done an absolutely brilliant job at making the quilt as its right up her alley with machine applique.

The Block of the Month will be available soon , but if you think that you would like to join this BOM then it would be an idea to leave your name at the shop  as there are limited numbers of the program.  Maybe consider joining one of Janine’s machine applique classes in Term 2 to work on this quilt.  More details once we are ready to go…..

002jpgAnother great thing that has happened at the shop, is that l am now stocking Gumnuts yarns.  Flavours are ” Stars ” which is stranded Silk,” Daisies”  which is fine Wool and” Poppies” which is a blend of Silk and Wool.  The threads are all hand dyed in Aust which is fab but that is only a minor detail as the threads are beautiful.

003jpgAnd look Jodie has sent me another sample of one of her patterns “the Classic Messenger”  using fabrics from the shop, the pattern will be in the shop after Easter…..

Okay its nearly chocolate feast time, so have a terrifc Easter with some nice days off.

The shop will be closed for the normal public holidays  but fear not l WILL be OPEN on Saturday 30 March.
