Can’t believe it is December already & the year is almost over!
I have so many new books available to inspire you but first I’d like to offer a great deal on very gently used workshop irons & ironing mats. These have been used for a maximum of 6 hours with some probably less than this. They were purchased to be used by students at the Australian Machine Quilting Festival this year and have been tested and tagged ready for you to have an iron that gets very hot, has steam along with an ironing mat you can use on any surface.
These are limited and the tags are valid until 21st August 2019.
Only $25- plus postage (weight 1.2kg) below cost price!
We have managed to get three more bolts of the VERY popular Dream Big Panels!
Opal, Teal & Rose are available again.
$33.30 each plus postage – Limited supplies and this will be the last time I get these in.

Quilt As-You-Go Made Modern
A modern approach to quilting that’s fresh, fun, and simpler than it sounds; it will change the way you quilt (for the better)
• Great for mums or anyone with a busy schedule – these 13 projects are easy to transport because they make it simple to pick up where you left off
• Go your own way: This method allows you to use a pattern or improvise, creating a wide variety of design options
• Save money! Learn how to finish your own quilts without the use of a long-arm professional
Do you believe rules were meant to be broken? If so, this improvisational quilt-as-you-go technique is for you. Instead of dealing with precise paper patterns and cutting measurements, you’ll learn how to piece fabric onto small, manageable batting blocks. Let your creative juices flow as you quilt directly on the blocks (not the whole quilt!), whether in large abstract zigzags or small structured stitches. After the blocks have been joined, all you need to do is add backing fabric and binding, and – voila – it’s finished!
