Merry Christmas

Hi Everyone,
It is never too early to learn, or for that matter too late.

I have had fun this week giving my triplet granddaughters their first sewing lesson!

They are about 2 years and 4 months, so I figured it was time to start.











The girls loved sewing, so we have to make some more time.

This is a new range in the shop. It is Flirt by Sandy Gervais for Moda it is really fresh and lovely for summer. It has been popular, so if you would like some come for a visit soon.









We have closed now until December 27th, so I am looking forward to a couple of days to get ready for Christmas. We will be open Thursday, Friday and Saturday next week and then open again from January 2nd.

Hoping you all have a happy and safe Christmas.

Happy stitching

Hi Everyone,

Sorry I have been absent! Being such an IT dinosaur something changed on the iPad, so I haven't been able to blog.

I am back and guess what Gail B is getting for Christmas!!! We are getting a class room. A big classroom. Approval from the landlord has just come through, so the planning has just begun.

Keep checking in and I will show you some of the new ranges which have arrived over the last month or so.

Judy Nieymeyer

Hi Everyone,

I am having the best week!! Rebecca and I have been to a four day workshop with Judy Niemeyer doing a class which has made us a certified shop.

Judy does the most amazing paper piecing patterns, and has such a wonderful system which makes the whole process easy. This is what we are working on.












Glacier Star, this quilt teaches all of the techniques required to be able to complete any of Judy's patterns.










These are some of our units, which we will continue to work on over the next week or so.




Here is Rebecca, hard at work at the machine.


Judy demonstrating a technique.


Rebecca, Gail and Judy.

















We will have many of Judy's patterns coming into the shop over the next month.

Over the next few months we are trying to work out a way to offer classes to work on some of Judy's patterns.

Hope you are as excited as we are.

Hi Everyone,

What a day. I went into the shop today to photograph some of the new fabrics which have arrived!! Not to be.

At about 9.45 there was a loud bang, and the power went off. A truck had caught the power line between the power pole and our shop! So we were plunged into darkness.






Russell went and bought torches and customers were treated to a staff escorted torch tour of the shop. A big thank you to our customers who all handled the situation in good spirit.

Russell is still at the shop, he has just recently been told we are the power companies next call. 6.15pm. If you have been trying to phone us today, I am sorry but the phones were out of action also.

I will try to get the fabric photos tomorrow.

Recovery

Hi Everyone,

This last week, what I didn't tell you was that my recovery and all the chocolate was being bought in Queenstown New Zealand. Back in Feb our the 23 year old son and his girlfriend Hayley invited Russell and I to join them on a holiday to Queenstown. Feeling very privileged to be included in their vacation we all booked and waited for September 1 to arrive. After my hospital stay etc we decided I had to manage approx 8 hours to get there, so we booked wheel chairs for the airports and off we went.






This is the view we had from our apartment. Not a bad place to sit on the couch and recover.





We had a great week doing some sightseeing and just relaxing and in my case recovering.

I think I have only been in the shop for 2 days in the last 4 weeks, so I am quite excited to get back there tomorrow. I am still not up to doing full days, but will be there as much as I can.

How much new fabric has arrived in the last 4 weeks??

I will try and show you lots over the next few weeks.
