How special is that???

Simone is a slave to English paper piecing. Totally addicted.


She came along to UFO classes with quite a number of projects that were almost finished. This quilt features fabric from her Nan's stash. I have identified some of the fabrics as genuine pieces of 1930s fabric. How special???


This quilt is now totally complete! Quilted by Wilma at Deep Creek Quilting.


Thanks for sharing Simone. You can join us to obtain help on your project. See UFO classes on the class list at the side.

Yes, you can do that!

When this customer came in to look for fabric to make into a bag as a gift for a friend, she never dreamed we would help her to mix together William Morris fabric with Kaffe Fasset prints!!
It's just another example, of "Yes, you can".
We love choosing fabric - there are just so many possibilities!!

Show and tell

Kellee comes to our beginners quilting classes.


Look who stowed away in her bag!!

As a collective of crafting women, I am always amazed at what we can make while actively learning another craft. So many people are talented in scrapbooking, crochet, knitting, dressmaking.... it is such a pleasure to see people grow in the area of quiltmaking too.

Thanks for sharing your show and tell.

Camelot by Jason Yenter

Oh yes, Jason Yenter. We are not worthy!!
(Well, of course we are!).
These fabrics are from the Camelot range.
These prints have depth, highlights and detail we have come to love from this fabric designer.


I can just imagine these fabrics and colours in castle wallhangings at Camelot.

Loads of batik fabrics in store

We love batik fabrics.

They can look soft, warm, bright, subtle.... but they always add depth and interest to your projects.

We keep a large range in store at all times (currently we have about 40 bolts in store) - these are not all on our website.

Generally, batiks are one-off fabrics (they are hand-produced) and can rarely be re-ordered.

Seeing a good batik fabric is like seeing a pair of shoes you like. You HAVE to buy it when you see it, it just won't be around when you are looking for it.

Enjoy your browsing. Click here to see our current range of batiks available online.

Or pop in to see more prints in store.
