Keeping up ....... do you?

Its really hard to keep up with whats arriving at the shop .....especially when the computer is not being very cooperative, rest assured a new one has been purchased and after another 2 weeks l should be able to load my photos on at a faster pace......l managed to cook tea for tonight, iron and hang the washing out while these photos loaded......mmmmmm.....multi tasking l think its called......
Bronwyn Hayes new patterns have arrived Fairy Garden, Ginger Snaps and the Gift Quilt. You could use these new fabrics in the quilts..
Red dots ..........
and then fantastic bright dots and stripes

and its amazing what you find when you tidy up, a caterpillar from Sewn Toy Tales, no need for insect spray here......should call him Fat 1/8th because that where he is sitting, he thinks the flowers are edible we may have a skinny caterpillar by the end of the week.....(thanks Chris for the loan)

Cheers Mary

Issuessssss

After a few technical hitches, l can finally blog again, the computer decided it was on its Easter break.......wouldnt it be nice to be a computer just take a break when you wanted no warning, no advising anybody, people still checking on you making sure you are okay ,while still earning an income sounds good doesnt it but l still had the upper hand.....just turn the power off.......
Anyway lucky life still goes on at full pace at the shop.........
"Sewn Tales" Melly and Me's new book has been on the shelves for a little while now , a great book for those of you hooked on softies.
Rosalie Quinlans new pattern Broderie BackPack has been made up and is on display in the window, a great size .........
Have you always wondered what goes on in Jan Kertons class. This is a finished example of what can be done. This great project was taken from Jenny McWhinneys book" Lovable Bears"
I was lucky enough to get the finished thread painted blocks, to make up this quilt design (my own) for Jan. I was really happy with the finished product.

What a scholar.........yep this is done with thread. This is one of the many things that can happen in Jan Kertons classes.(bookings essential)
