Month: March 2011

Sorry for the delay, I said at the end of the week and I sort of lost the end of last week! Couldn't tell you what I did with my time but it went anyway!

The winners of a set of 4 petite projects are Leeanne and Pip, so congrats girls and send me an email with your address and I will post them off to you. I hope you enjoy them!

Only 3 weeks and 6 days until I head off over to the US for a holiday and a bit of work as well. I will be having a booth at Spring Market (wholesale show) in Salt Lake City and am busy getting everything ready!

I will also enjoy some holiday time with my friend Sandra, we are looking forward to hitting some quilt shops and also the quilt show in Denver!

And one of the best things will be meeting up with Nancy who I have met online. She just happens to live near Salt Lake City!!! How exciting will that be! I can't wait!

Just because I need a photo, I thought I would show you this one. "believe in the magic" is another Christmas wall hanging. I will have this one with me in the US so maybe your local shop owner may see it!

So bye for now as I get back to work!

Cheers

I had a fabulous day at the Monbulk quilt show on Saturday, no pics though as I was very busy. It was great to meet so many ladies and have a chat. My new petite projects were very popular and now here are the next two..

this one is "cottage flowers pincushion"

and this is "oscar owl project folder" (stitched in the gorgeous Cottage Garden Threads)

I am having a lot of fun thinking up lots of petite projects for you, perfect as gifts or perfect to make and give!

The Stitcher's Cupboard has them all in stock if you need one!

If you would like to win all four patterns, please leave a comment on this post and I will pick 2 winners at the end of the week!

See the previous post for "butterfly dilly bag" and "little tweets pouch"pictures.

Have a great week everyone!

Cheers

The Monbulk Quilt Show is on Saturday and I will be there with lots of my samples and patterns. I will also be releasing some new things……

Introducing "petite projects"…….

these are small patterns that are just the right size for that small project you would like to make. Easy to use up scraps and fantastic for gifts.

The first one will be "butterfly dilly bag"

 

the second one is "little tweets", a handy little pouch for sewing or other precious little treats…

there are more to come as I have so many ideas!!

The quilt show will be at St Georges Church in Monbulk and I would love to see you there for a chat!

Cheers

I am excited this year to be able to teach at a few workshops here in Australia. I am busy preparing designs for all the lovely ladies that are able to come along and join in the fun!

My first workshop will be at Quilt Fabric Delights in Adelaide on the weekend of July 2 and 3. I have already started a stitchery and am thinking about an applique project too!!

I will also have a very hectic end to the year starting in September where I will head down to Gum Valley Patchwork where the lovely Linda is having her first workshop. I will be teaching with Lenora, who has the most gorgeous things!

October I have Keegan's 18th and also my sister's 40th. These parties are followed by a workshop at Anam Cara on the 22nd October, this will be my first time up there and I am looking forward to meeting lots of new ladies.

The weekend after on the 29 and 30 October I will be heading over to Port Pirie again with Natalie Ross to teach at Country Hart. We had a ball last time and I am sure it will be a lot of fun again!

So if you can come to any of these workshops I would love to meet you, we always have a lot of fun and laughs as well as working on a few new projects.

Cheers

Enjoy your week!

I can't believe it is March already! I thought I had better let you know about a few classes I have coming up in March.

First I have a small butterfly dilly bag which I am teaching up at Mrs Martin's Quilt Shop on the evening of March 16th

 You can either complete the stitchery before class and then in class finish the bag or make the bag with the ric rac on it, contact Karen for the cost and time.

I also will be teaching my new BOM Berries and Bluebirds at Foothills starting on Monday the 28th March. This will run for 8 months on the 4th monday of each month (except April as I will be away, but it is a chance to catch up!)

This is a different colur way to the original and a kit is available at Foothills. Contact the shop for details on 9754 6166.

If you can't make it but would like to take a class with me, contact your local shop and let them know you are interested, maybe I can come to you!

I am just finalising some workshops for this year also and I will put them up here as soon as I can, so you now where to find me!

On another note, Jarrod started uni on Monday, he is going to Monash Uni and is studying maths/computer science! I love having computer geeks for sons, sure does save me a lot of time!

Back to the sewing room, whatever you are doing I hope you can fit in a couple of stitches!

Cheers
