What happened to January ?

Where on earth did January go????????, and once again the weather has provided a lot of conversation and by coincidence when this sample was being made the weather was 20 degrees hotter.....figure that one out. Here is Beach Baby Bag what would you put into it.......suncreen and a bottle of water or a raincoat and a thermos of coffee both would be appropriate.
Peek A Zoo and some Re-mix also arrived


Have you met Reuben? not yet well he is on his way to the shop with his designer Jodie Carleton....for a class on the Saturday 21 May 2011. Bookings are being taken now.
I hope he has good shoes on for the walk..........

Cheers Mary

Jodie Carletons trunk show......

How lucky was I being able to dress our window, with Jodie selvedge dress and the chair.
I just couldnt stop looking at the dress, it was quite heavy obviously due all of those selvedges and the lining they are sewn too. The binding around the dress in black and the buttons are black. Not shown in this picture is the hot pink tuelle half slip underneath.
The dress is on display for looking only not touching so dont be disappointed if we say no touching.
On display here, is Tea-set, Kinder Boys and Kinder Girls, Paarsley and Beet
and Ernst and Pebble.
And the front window............
We have all of Jodies patterns on sale at the shop.........
Some people are so talented......

Cheers Mary

PS. the quilt on display in the background just so happens to be one of Kaffe Fassetts patterns, using Boutique by Moda.

The one and only.....Jodie Carleton

Well it started like this, rather simple but clever concept, why not sew your selvedges together
Look and while you are at it... lets just cover a chair............
and make a dress.........
bring along a couple of hedgehogs for the ride......
and then just sit back and have a cuppa from fine china.

Well this is just the start of the Jodie Carleton trunk show, that we are very fortunate to have on display for the coming month. We have plenty of patterns for sale (a few deals going) so have a drool past our window on Monday and marvel at Jodies work.........
Thanks Jodie its a thrill to take part in displaying your wares.

Cheers Mary
ps. One for you Jodie.... cough cough...........
