There are some great new lines we released including the Amy Butler Sweet Life bags, I couldn't believe how fantastic these are. Also are the cute Paddington Bear tins which includes the fabric for the quilt top. I have also loaded pictures of all the quilts we had on display. Don't forget to check out designers web sites and blog pages I have a few listed these are great references for inspiration.

There is also a great selection of 108" wide backs that have been brought back.

Quilt and Craft Show

Hi, today was the first day of the quilt and craft show and there are some fantastic ranges being released for delivery over the next few months.

I have loaded some of the ranges and I should have the rest added by the end of the week along with the quilts we had on display.

I ventured out to the warehouse for the first time on Tuesday and I must say it was great to see. I know alot of you made it out and if you didn't get out there this year it is worth while for a visit maybe next year.

I look forward to seeing my Victorian customers soon.

Till then watch this space,

Happy Quilting

Cheers Nikki

A PEEK OF WHAT'S COMING

Here is a look at some of the ranges that will be released at the Quilt trade show in Sydney on the 3rd and 4th of June.

I look forward to seeing you there if I find out of any other ranges I will keep you posted.

Happy Quilting

Cheers Nikki

Happy Easter

Wishing you all a very happy and safe Easter.

I have just added a lovely range from Faye Burgos that I received in the post today, Home for the holidays III. This would be great for a Christmas project or as a romantic floral group.

Happy Quilting

On the road again

It is so good to be back on the road again. All the new ranges are going well and if I haven't seen you I hope to do so over the coming weeks. Just a reminder for those of you who are not aware the Sydney show this year has moved date it is now on Wednesday 3rd and Thursday 4th of June.

I like most of you enjoy going to the designers Blogs and web sites if you haven't seen any of these or are not sure there are some sites listed at the bottom left hand side, just a click away. These are great for inspiration or if you want to try something new and not sure how to go about it. So give them a try I am sure you will get hooked on some of them.

When I first got these new ranges I was lucky enough to see some quilts up close and personal so here are some photos of them.
