Once again I am trying..... to upload pics and get this on the blog - so far I have sat here for over 2 hours and still don't have it - my internet drops out just before I hit the publish bar and so everything is lost - again.

So I will do it in bits & pieces in the hope I get it on!

As with all the specials minimum cut is 50cm and if you purchase what is remaining on the bolt you receive an additional $1/m off the entire piece. Be quick though as some have only about 1.5m on them and of course there are some with more!

Specials

Yes with so much new fabric coming in I just have to have more specials!

So firstly I will be discounting the prequilted fabric that I have in stock by $5/m from $38 down to $32/m  This provides excellent value when you look at 2 pieces of patchwork fabric and the wadding already quilted for you! Great for overnight bags, mat bags, drink coolers, and more!

 

 

Plus ALL Patterns excluding BOM's and the new rug patterns are now HALF PRICE! Even Amy Butler patterns!

We have lots of specials instore and I will try and get more and more on here over the next few days.

 

Now the grass has sold out but the cows are reduced to $9/m

 

Now these assorted buttons are reduced from $8.80 to just $7 each.

 

This pink FLANNEL backing is reduced form $27/m to just $22/m!

 

This is the gorgeous Clementine jr - the same as I used in Miss H's Drunk Path quilt - now there is only 1 and so have reduced to $42!

 

This is the gorgeous 1933 by Choe's closet and i have 2 left - reduced to $42

 

Gorgeous Country Flannel - reduced to $19/m - Bargain!

 

Fantastic Underwater print - would look great in a converging quilt! Just $16/m

 

HOney Buns - 42 x 1 1/2" strips - were $42 now just $35 each available in brights, pastel or country!

 

 

Cowboy Up! Just $17/m

OK Now I will put more on in the next few days so keep checking in as I will have some fabrics as low as $9/m!!!

Thankyou again for supporting our business - we do greatly appreciate. We continue to provide you with the service & advise that is becoming so hard to find these days and aim that you leave here feeling refreshed and creative ready to start a new project!

Keep stitchin! 

 

 

PLEASE NOTE: ALL SPECIALS ARE A MINIMUM 50CM CUT - IF YOU TAKE WHAT IS LEFT ON THE BOLT YOU WILL RECEIVE AN ADDITIONAL $1/M OFF THE ENTIRE AMOUNT.

I got in!!!

OK so to make the heading make sense I will explain! Recently I was asked as a Regional Artist in the Western Downs Shire to submit an application for the upcoming Quintessential Exhibition to be held at Dogwood Xing at Miles Gallery.

The process starts with providing your CV, photos of recent artwork, an application form which includes outlining what you think you will try and do for the exhibition - ideas etc. These are decided upon as to whom then can put forward pieces for the actual exhibition. At this point I had been told that I and 18 other artists had been accepted and therefore could then submit a number of works but no more than 4 pieces would be accepted.

The Curator of the Exhibition is Ms Sandy Pottinger who is an Artist, Art Critic, Columnist with the Toowoomba Chronicle on the Art Scene and also previously was a lecturer at USQ in Visual Art.

So upon sending in our pieces to be jurored/looked over etc we also have to sumit with each piece an Aritists Statement to provide an insight into our aim with our piece etc. Now Quintessential means roughly that was make you tick - what makes you "you", values in life and things that are important to you. So I brain stormed for a while with my journal on different ideas and scribbled etc and came up with a few things.

I completed 3 pieces for submission - "Hands Speak Volumes", "Country Women's Beauty" & "Country Values".

AND I am pleased to say that all 3 were accepted which I was VERY excited about as I have since heard that Many were Not!

Now I can't show you them  exactly until the opening (which is tonight at 6.30pm) but I will give you a little sneak peak of one of them.

The gallery is open 7 days so if you are passing through perhaps you may be able to call in and have a peak. We have some Very talented Artisans within the region and no doubt this will be another wonderful exhibition!

 

Not much I know but for now that is all you are getting I am afraid.

Stay tuned for more pics - or better still pop in for a look at Dogwood Xing Gallery - pictures never really do textile work justice!

Thankyou also to the ladies that I bounced a few ideas off and especially to Meridy who provided untold encouragement!

 

Its Early but It's Here

Yes the bain of any shop owner is fabric either not turning at all (worst) or fabric that you have organised space/budget wise to turn up at the time they say and then it turns up 2 months prior!!!

So you are the winners here as 1. More new fabric in the shop to look at and 2. this means I have to make more room so that means MORE SPECIALS!

I looove this Black & White & Currant (as they call it) range. It is a true blood red and sooo rich. I just love the positive/negative in this range as each as a white background, black & red backgrounds to go with each print pretty much and having tonal, small and large print a whole quilt could be made from just these fabrics. Now for the Roma ladies who are undertaking a "Black & White plus One" challenge - this may be just what you need.!!!!

These are all just $21/m. Now as I have purchased the ENTIRE Range these are smaller bolts than usual so be quick if you are chasing any!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

So there you have it! Just gorgeous!

Injune Converging Workshop

Finally I am getting back onto the blog and hope to be a little more "on here" with what's happening.

The girls yet again made me feel very welcome and yet again I bought the rain to them with up to around 120 points in places! We had a great weekend with lots of creativity and changing the base design to make it more personal for participants. There were also a few completed to show off too!

So here are the lovely ladies and their creations.

 

Fay's Fish

 

Sandy's Horses

 

Sue's horses - and now being extended with a flying geese border! I think it may head to the gooseneck!

 

Vikki's sprials

Unfortunately I seem to have missed quite a few so please girls if you have some pics please send them to me so I can include them.

I just love this class as it never ceases to amaze me the variety you can achieve within the participants - no one goes home with anything like anyone else!

Til next time keep stitchin!

A trip to to Tambo Teddy Country

Yes my most recent workshop was to the lovely town of Tambo! The ladies made myself and my lovely travelling companion Vikki very welcome to this friendly little town!

They knew they were up for a challenge when they chose the beginners landscape class but with a little apprehension at first they soon dived in boots and all and did an absolutely fantastic job with their creations!

Everyone in the town made us sooo welcome from the publicans and patrons at both pubs - well when in Rome! and the motel had the    BEST BEDS EVER!!!!! I even wrote down the name of them - seriously it was the best bed I have EVER slept in. Vikki said the same about her bed too!

The meals we had during our stay at both the pubs and those provided by the ladies were simply delicious and we must say the meals at the pub across from the motel were HUGE!

So thankyou again ladies for making us so welcome and being so enthusiastic in learning lots of new techniques - some quite different to what many of us are used to !

Here are the gorgeous pics!

Now I do apologise as I seem to have been unable to use a couple of pics as they were a little blurry so I will check with Vikki to see if she has any of the ones I have missed and put them up in another blog.

 

Here is Jan, Jenny D & Sonia - everyone did such fantastic work and all very different!

 

These are Gail's 2 postcard landscapes
 

These were 2 new recruits Marion and Tabby and they were absolute beginners who made sewing machine mats just like the rest of the group!

 

A close up of Jenny D's

Many of the landscapes have a bit more to go on them but some are nearly finished and I'm sure you will all agree they are looking just Fantastic! Well done ladies!

 

 

This is Jenny D's and she is going with an "arty" approach by having her eucalypt leaves cascading over the entire pic.

 

We are still missing 2 but I will try and get those pics

 

This is the lovely Vikki and myself and for once I don't have a silly - well sillier than usual - look on my face! We had a great time!
 

Just thought I would share Gail's landscape as she actually took hers from an exact photo while the rest of the class "winged it" or had a photo as a bit of a guide but weren't looking to reproduce it exactly. I think Gail's has worked out really well. Go King Tut variegated thread - yes you all know I loooove it!

So there you have it - now hopefully a few of the local Tambo Landscape! courtesy of Vikki's photography skills!

 

Now where is this landmark in Tambo - now there is a fat quarter for the person who answers this correctly by either commenting on this blog or emailing me BUT it can't be anyone from Tambo - sorry ladies - lets make the others think!
 

Tambo has some lovely old buildings

 

And here is me after quickly pulling up at Fanny Mae's Cafe (see sign in the background) for some bottled water before we left town ( we had drank our trusty water bottle supply dry!)

 

The road home - you just can' t beat the long stretches of road in the country! All be it pot holed - thankyou Anna!


So the next workshop is at Injune in a fortnights time! I am sure we will have another fun and creative weekend in yet another top country location!

Keep stitchin.

 

PS I have just added LOTS of fabrics to the specials row - in excess of 40 fabrics now range from $8 to $18/m.  (lots around $10-$12) So be quick. I hope to have some of these on the blog in the next couple of weeks but no doubt if you are passing through it would pay to drop in to get "first dibs" plus of course we have lots of new bits arriving all the time including the Nifty Nets, Bobbin Savers, new variegated King Tut machine thread colours, Dustaway Aerosol degreaser for your machines, and LOTS of new Accucutter Dies!!!

So thankyou again for your ongoing support of our business - we do greatly appreciate it.

 

Keep STitchin!
