This fantastic red and white japanese range has just arrived. There are 16 fabrics in the range including the toile (pictured above left) and the large circle print. Each of the patterns in the circles is also a fabric in the range. Each pattern comes in red on white background and white on red background. The banner shows the toile fussy cut and surrounded by some of the prints. Indigo borders help to frame each block. The pattern will be available shortly. That is as soon as I can make the sample and write the instructions.
Less than six months till Christmas in case anyone is counting. Last week I received a new range for Christmas called ‘12 Days of Christmas’ it is from Kate Spain for Moda. I have this panel in stock and some of the coordinates.The fabric is $21 per metre and there is also a free project to download from moda.
The motifs on the top and bottom of the panel are a good size to make into hanging decorations for your christmas tree.

Each month for 9 months you purchase a button and receive a FREE stitchery pattern to match the button. The monthly cost is $11.50 plus postage.

The new design from Mackenna Ryan has been in stock about a month now and is selling well. Apart from the quilt, I have started making the roosters and chicks into the individual art quilts. The first one finished is “Struttin”
I have managed to get Leanne our local framer from ‘The Picture Framing Shed’ to custom make the stretcher frames. They are 8″ square which is an odd size for canvases. They can be purchased in sets of 9 for $49.50 or $6 each.
There are still some kits available for the quilt. 
The kit is $274.35 and includes all the fabric and the patterns for the 4 roosters and the pattern for the quilt. The quilt is pictured on the front page of the website.
