As some of you may have heard by now that are on my email list we have named our surprise guest speaker for the Craft in the Country Open Day. It is Greg Allen from Pleasure Sew in Brisbane. Greg and his wife have kindly agreed to join us for the day and both are talented quilters. Greg is a lovely and extremely knowledgeable fellow who will be talking on a range of subjects including your sewing machine and taking care of it. Also he will be demonstrating and have Country Specials on Janome & Brother sewing machines, Can Quilt quilt frames and Happy Jack quilt frames. So if there is anything/model you may be interested in please let me know so that he can bring it for you to have a look at. Also he assures me he will have some wonderful specials for the day so if you are thinking about purchasing any of these items or their accessories I'm sure it would be advantageous to wait until the 16th May!.
Also in attendance will be Greg from the Sew Help Me green van for your Machine Servicing requirements. He will also be here on the Friday for anyone wishing to drop their machines in prior to the open day and I will drop them in for him, - So if you wish you have your machine serviced please book in as it will be first in first served. There will also be a lucky prize for anyone who gets their machine/s serviced over either of these 2 days. Please note that he does both machines and overlockers.
I am working on the Craft in the Country Brochure as we speak so hope to have these out soon. If you know you are definately coming please book as early as you can as places are filling fast and we will be having a cut off point this year - so please secure your spot. Remember $20/hd ($10 upon booking) and the final $10 payable prior to the 28th April) For those wishing to be eligible for the early bird draw full payment is due by the 1st April, 2009. If attendees do not send full payment by the 28th April unfortunately we may not be able to guarantee their spot and payment on the day would total $30/hd. This is just so that we do not turn people away only to have those booked but not paid then not come - I'm sorry to have to have rules but we do not want anyone missing out. It also saves alot of extra paperwork on a day that is already very busy.
I am also pleased to announce that Westalee Designs that were finalists on the ABC Inventors programme have kindly donated the Prize for the Viewers Choice award for the Quilt of Love Challenge. They have very generously donated a Westalee ruler pack for the lucky person. So ladies get those little quilts started!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
As always we will have sample bags for everyone plus lots of really wonderful prizes including a Lucky Door prize of ............... - it's a secret - just yet. I just can't tell you - I like keeping you in suspense but no doubt if you pop into the shop in the next few weeks you may get a sneak peak!
Til then keep stitchin in udder chaos
