Simply Christmas 2013

I have been extremely busy over the last five months, working on a new book for Christmas. I was not sure whether I was going to be able to pull this off, but yesterday I got the proofs to read and on Tuesday, all should be ready to go to print!

It has been a huge learning curve for me as I have done all the graphic design myself, going to class on Thursday nights, then working on a new part of the book on the Friday.

Here is the cover…

 I have an ETA of Friday the 12th April and will have it for sale at Stitched in Time (all going well of course)

Simply Christmas 2013 will also be available to buy at AQC in Melbourne from the 17th April – 20th April. All the samples will be on The Patchwork Teahouse booth and I will also be there to sign books…I will let you know the exact times soon.

Hope you like it so far!

Cheers

New postcards!

I have been busy with a new idea for a free pattern for when I am out and about. If you visit me on Saturday at The Monbulk Quilt show you will be able to be one of the first people to receive one.

I have been keeping it a secret for a few weeks and when they arrived I was so excited!!

There is one design on the back to use as you desire, I have made a pincushion, needlebook and little framed piece as suggestions, but of course you can choose what you will stitch it for!!

All you need are scraps, you can see I have used a litle bit of lace and buttons too!
This red one is my favourite I think but I also love this purple one!

 So if you are going to see me sometime this year, you will be able to receive one (and there may well be a Christmas one waiting in the wings…..hint Michele..)

See you at the show!!
