So here we are again, another week flown by! I have now released the 2 patterns that I taught at Inspired Stitches and at Stawell.
Introducing…Ruby Cottage, stitched with "canna lily" from Cottage Garden Threads
and Garden Delight, a little bit of stitching and a little bit of applique.
hope you like them, they are available now from Foothills Fabric and Threads, but if you would like your local store to get them in, ask them to send me an email!
And I aslo have some news about Homespun Magazine…..it is going digital, so for all those ladies out there who have trouble buying the mag, you can now subscribe and receive it in a digital format!! Please note that it is not quite ready to go but I will let you know when it is!!
I have a quilt coming in the next issue so there's a reason to buy it!!
Enjoy the rest of your week!!

After arriving home on Sunday night from Adelaide, I kept my suitcase packed and headed off on Monday to Stawell to teach for the ladies from the Stawell Craft Shop. Monday night I unpacked all my samples for a trunk show, I must say I was so happy so many ladies came out on such a cold night. It was great to meet you all!!
Tuesday saw me meet up with Cheryl to set up for the workshop.
On such a cold day we were snug and warm in our room and set for a full day of stitching.
The projects were "ruby cottage" and "garden delight", both small projects to work on both stitching and applique. I was happy to be able to show the ladies how I do needleturn applique, see it's not too scary!!
After the workshop I had a quick look around the shop, absolutely full of the most gorgeous things, of course I bought some fabric but also a scarf, a wire tray table and a birdcage. If you past by Stawell you really must drop in!!
Thanks to Cheryl and Wendy who made me feel very welcome and looked after me so well (thanks Cheryl for the chocolate!!)
Hoping to see you again!!
Cheers

I had a fantastic time in Adelaide last weekend, teaching for the lovely Sarah from QFD.
I was so lucky to be able to go with Janelle, Helen and Natalie and wow we had a great time. I had two projects for the girls and if you visit Sarah you can see a photo as I didnt get one on the weekend!
There were so many great ladies, I was happy to be able to catch up with lots of friends but also to meet some new ladies too!! Ros came from Perth, Sandy came from Sydney, Sue came from Darwin, Chris came from QLD, Kerry and friends came from Melbourne, all for the enjoyment of stitching and meeting new friends!
Ros, Sandy and Sue. Now these ladies did not know each other before and all came by themselves, so it was wonderful to see them become friends and have a lot of fun over the weekend!
Jen managed to get quite a bit of stitching done on "ruby cottage". She is using Cosmo Seasons thread 8049, a gorgeous mix of blues, tans and greens.

Thank you everyone for making Inspired Stitches such fun!!
Have a great weekend!!!
