Lynette Anderson has designed a fantastic new range of buttons set around a garden theme. They are being offered as a Blcok of the month. 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. I have also put together a pack of 12 fat eighths in four colourways to compliment the stitcheries.

 The first button should arrive soon. The program will start in July. Email me to register yor interest.

The latest edition of Down Under Textiles arrived today. The magazine is full of interesting projects including transfer painting, making beaded buttons, stick weaving and using cold wax as a resist to name a few. There are also interviews with textile artists Dale Rollerson and Sharyn Hall. Plus heaps more. The magazine is $9.95 plus postage $2.50. Contact me to purchase your copy.

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.
