NEW TILDA'S BOOK SEASIDE IDEAS

Just arrived this lovely new book by Tone Finnanger of TILDA'S

Seaside life has been used as inspiration to create these brand new Tilda projects for the spring and summer seasons. The ideas include sewn toys, jewellery and scarves, as well as a cute fishing girl Tilda doll design with accessories. Also includes simple crochet circles and a small knitted jacket for the fishing girl doll. How cute are these whales!

Think I had better start a few new projects right away.

ORDER YOUR COPY OF SEASIDE IDEAS HERE!

We will have the kits in for the doll very soon too.

Keep on Stitching,

PATCHWORK NEWSLETTER OUT FOR MAY

Have just sent out the newsletter for the month of May HERE is the link to it.

In it we have featured a new quilt from Tedlywinks. BEARS IN THE WOODS so cute!

This one comes with preprinted stitcheries to make it really easy for you or for those on a budget you can just purchase the pattern and trace of your own. .

Don't forget to order some stabilizer for behind your stitcheries too!

If bears are not your thing but little critters and stitchery is then have a look at NATURES GIFT from Petals and Patches. More cuteness!

We have this available as pattern only, pattern with fabric and we have the lovely thread pack from Cottage Garden threads too.

Both of these quilts are charming and are quite different in their content.

Don't forget we still have a few of the COSMO SEASONS THREAD on SPECIAL too!

But we are running out of colours!

Keep on Stitching,

Lots of NEW PATCHWORK PATTERNS

Have not got to the blog as often as I would like so to make it up to you here are some of the lovely new patterns I have just put on the website

First up is ROSALIE quilt pattern.

56" x 77" (small hexagons) or 78" x 86" (large hexagons)

This is an updated version of the traditional hexagon quilt pattern with contemporary prints and solids to give it modern appeal.
The piecing is deceptively simple--no Y-seams!

This one comes as a Sewing Card pattern so the price is very reasonable.

Next is BIRDS OF A FEATHER bag pattern

Make this sweet bag which comes with a pre printed panel to make it easy to get your stitching done. Finished size is 16" x 11" approx.

and last but certainly not least is WISE GUYS quilt pattern

Make this simple but super cute quilt for someone you love! Using simple applique and piecing makes this a perfect project for a beginner stitcher.

Finished size is 40" sqre.

Hope that give you some inspiration of course there is lots more on the website with new things coming all the time.

Keep on stitching,

PS Don't forget June is QUILTER'S TRAIL MONTH- make sure you book your spot on one of our buses.

New BEGINNER PATCHWORK CLASSES

Yesterday we started a new BEGINNERS CLASS using s slightly different format. Pictured above are the girls in the daytime class showing off their work. Including our Cat second from the right. Below are the girls in the evening class.

Didn't they do a great job with their blocks and they look so proud too. They deserve to!

HERE IS SOME MORE INFO ON THIS CLASS- Come join our new BEGINNERS CLASS. This is especially designed for those who have never picked up a ruler and cutter before. But, of course anyone is welcome to join in.
Each lesson we will create a different block which you can use either as a block for a sampler quilt or as a cushion. We will do some hand stitching and some machine.
YES, we have not forgotten the girls who work!

The first class will be on the Monday 4th March( due to public holidays April and May will be a little different) either 1pm -4pm or evening 5.30pm - 8.30pm.
Then every 1st and 3rd Monday of the month for daytime and the 1st Monday of each month for night time.
We plan for this to be a casual class where you are NOT committed to every lesson BUT you will learn more the more often you come.
COST: $10 paid in advance per lesson.
You will need a rotary cutter, scissors, 24" x 6.5" ruler, cutting mat, sewing machine, and other general sewing requirements and of course some fabric..
As always be warned this class is with Penny so it is essential to bring a good sense of humor too!
Give us a call on 07 5477 0700 to book your space.

Next classes are DAYTIME- 18th March, EVENING- 15th April

Don't put it off come and join in!

Keep on Stitching,

PATCHWORK ANGEL IS OPEN FOR BUSINESS!

Yes after all the power outages and trouble after the storm we were able to open again on Wednesday. We still have no phones so calls are diverted to my mobile which is at no extra cost to the caller. Our internet is working though so website and emails are all good.

AND yes the kettle is working too! Here is a pic of Lee putting the kettle on!!!

The Convenience store over the road from us lost all their perishables over the weekend so I think we should all support our local shops to try and help them get back on their feet.

Call in and see us soon if you can1
