I had an awesome weekend at Craft Alive in Shepparton, even though it was 40 degrees on the Friday! It was fantastic to see so many familiar faces and so many people out and about shopping with us again. The first show of the year is always exciting and there were lots of products to share as you can see by the photos above. If you are like me and keep a journal or diary, then this cover is ideal. The pattern is Time for Me by Lilabelle Lane and the kit includes the pattern, stitchery design printed on linen, 2 fat quarters and a skein of Valdani thread. We were also lucky to get a special buy from our supplier of the wool ironing mats. Made from New Zealand wool, they are 14" x 14" and just $48 instead of $64, while stock lasts. The next Craft Alive we will be attending is in Wagga Wagga, March 31 - April 2, 2023, which is the weekend before Easter. See our Easter trading hours below. You will notice a new category in the online store - Our Best Sellers this is where you will find our best selling patterns, kits, tools and fabric. Click here if you are short on shopping time. You will also be seeing more of them on social media and highlighted around the store. In response to feedback from those of you not on social media, I will be sending an additional newsletter mid month to update you on new arrivals and happenings in store. As many of you have commented you are missing out, I will also put our social posts on our blog and show me how pages. Video posts can be watched on our Youtube channel. New Pattern & fabric kit
Handy Pockets Banner is my latest pattern. This design is ideal for hanging in your sewing studio to store rulers and tools. The fabric is Say it with a Stitch by Mandy Shaw for Henry Glass. There are 8 panels, so you could make two banners. The pockets provide the opportunity for some free motion quilting and ruler work practice. The border print looks great and Matilda's Own bag batting used for wadding keeps the banner firm. The kits include the pattern, panel and fabric for top and binding for one banner.
