Coffee and Yarn....what a combination!

Some new fabric that arrived recently is this range of coffee designs. If you know a coffee lover it would make great placemats, coasters or even a coffee cup sleeve - perfect gifts!










Also just arrived is this divine Noro yarn.....we have both the Kureyon sock yarn ($33.50 per 100g ball) and the Silk Garden sock yarn ($35.00 per 100g ball). The colours are to die for and we are itching to finish up some projects and start knitting something with the Noro.....

.......can you understand why?!

Robyn attempting to leave the shop with our new stash - think she would have had trouble driving home somehow :-)

Wrenly's Place at our place.

Look what has just landed on our doorstep! A beautiful range of fabrics by Valori Wells called "Wrenly"....and we will be using it to make her own quilt design called "Wrenly's Place"...... we both love it so much we think we will have to make 2 samples so there is no fighting over it once the kits are all sold Lol.

Almost Advent time.

It isn't too late to make an Advent calendar for the little person in your life. A few hours of work for years of pleasure :-)

Our latest bag pattern, nice and simple but roomy and convenient - would make a great gift!

The canvas fabric is available in two colours - hard to chooose between them both :-)

New 'kit' on the block.....

....and yes, it is another cat quilt! Cats and Quilters seem to go together, don't they? Robyn is a cat person....and while Leanne likes animals, she is allergic to cats so is happy to stick to the quilted kind ;-)

The complete kit is $175 and you will have a large panel (same size as the centre) and 2 small panels (same size as the corner blocks) left over from the printed panels to make a cushion or bag with.

First of all, a big THANK YOU to our loyal followers for sticking with us......we know we have been very poor bloggers over the past weeks, months.....years even? We are going to try to update on a more regular basis and hopefully grow our readership :-) Keep an eye out for a gievaway in the not too distant future as a thank you and a welcome to all our readers, old and new.

We will start with some new fabrics that have just arrived in stock......we wish there were more hours in the day to sit and sew with these beautiful fabrics - who said owning a quilt shop would mean we could sit and sew all day???!!! ;-)
