Hi there!  Another beautiful day in paradise and I am excited to be travelling to the wonderful Maniatoto region to spend some time with the very talented quilting ladies.  The car is loaded with everything for the class and just a few extra bits and pieces  and I am just about to head out the gate.

However I thought I would tell you the stunning new William Morris and Royal School of Needlework 2026 Calendars have just arrived on the courier this morning.  These would make a great gift for yourself or someone special and are just $29.99 – be in quick as stock is limited!

Another sample just hot off the sewing machine is this little sewing pouch from Anni Downs from Hatched and Patched.  The kit includes all the linen and wool pieces that you need to complete the project and is $59.90.

If you have a few minutes, check out this great special we have on the A5 size LED light box ($36.00 usually $46.0).  This is perfect for taking to class or on holiday as it fits neatly into your work box.
