Christmas show and tell...
We love your show and tell... This is a small selection of pieces from the sit and sew sessions held in store each Wednesday (from 1pm - only $2 to come along...)
This is Jean's wallhanging.. She quilted it on her domestic machine - you should see the feathered borders! We've enjoyed watching Jean doing the blanket stitching by hand on Wednesdays (sometimes I think Jean comes up with projects especially to bring to sit and sew!!)
This is Larraine with a cushion she made from the Art To Heart book "Jingle All The Way"...

Preparing for Christmas
Oh yes! It's nearly half way through November, so we are all madly sewing our Christmas projects in preparation for December 1st... our traditional day to start displaying our projects... or in my case... it's traditional to stay up late Christmas Eve finishing decorations and gifts at the last minute!!
Wow... this is Antje's Christmas tree skirt. Antje chose the pattern from the book French Braid Obsession, then used a Christmas panel as her feature fabric. Antje attended UFO classes with Carol obtaining assistance as she needed it. It was then quilted by Wilma at Deep Creek Quilting.
This is Jaqi's 14 fat quarter quilt!! She chose fabric from Nancy Halvorsen of Art To Heart's latest range Jingle All The Way.

Jaqi quilted it herself... taking only a few days to put it together, quilt it and bind it.
Wow! Thanks for your inspiring show and tell girls....

Sharyn's piece de resistance
Well, Sharyn will remember this moment forever!! It's the GIANT purple quilt for her bed... that hangs to the floor.
She collected fabrics for years, and combined with new pieces purchased especially for this quilt.
Here it is in its dazzling glory. Sharyn's most favourite quilt yet. Congratulations Sharyn. (She is the clever lady hiding behind her huge quilt).....
