10 to 10 class!

Our recent 10 to 10 class was a day with lots of laughs and lots of fun. Lots of sewing was accomplished, heaps of pinwheels disappeared and squares were slashed. Judy even got all her blocks finished and centre put together! What an achievement.
Looking very much forward to the next class in August.

Below are some of the snapshots from the class, with everyone hard at work!

wonder if Jillian is making hers into quilt, or if she has some other 'cover' in mind!

Different backgrounds

Who said backgrounds always have to be white, cream or black?
We just received some new background fabrics in.....

They're part of the Prairie Stitches range from Marcus Fabrics. Available now...

BOM month 11

Fabric and instructions for month 11 in the Block of the month program have been packed and are ready for pick up (unless you're getting them posted to you). The images for the bright colourway are published on the right hand side of the blog.

Have you seen our new Christmas block of the month? Starting soon......

New reproduction prints

We also just received a few more lovely reproduction prints. The ranges are Prairie Stitches and American Gothic from Marcus Fabric. These are great to start the upcoming Hunsford class in or add to the quilt tops you're finishing off from the first round of classes. Or why not make a quilt in reds, creams and blacks and use the ever popular disappearing nine-patch block technique. Available in fat quarters and yardage - at the shop!

New fabric - Garden Party

A new addition to our brights range is Garden Party from Windham Fabrics
The prints are perfect for fabulous fashion, trendy decor, totes, handbags, crafts and so much more! From quilts and pillows to gorgeous gowns, you'll have all sorts of fun things to flaunt around town. Fat quarters and yardage is available - so pop into the shop and have a play!

Counting down the days to the next one.....
