The move is on ......

The shop is moving across the road and today the action started. My Aunty ( new partner ) has a gorgeous little cottage across the road from the shops current location and we felt it was perfect to house the shop.   I must admit I dont know why we chose to move in the heat.
Tomorrow the shelves are on the move and a few final touches on our new space. My dad has been busy all week moving walls and doors to accomodate us.

This is the main wall that needed moving.
The house is about 100yrs old and it was built very sturdy.

Quilting Fun

Yesterday my quilt that has been on holiday in the US arrived home. It is still gorgeous after not seeing it for all these months ( 12 months ). Now just waiting for the books to arrive, I'll let you all know when they get here.

Last weekend it was time for the Celtic Festival in Beechworth, it is on every year. This year I think it was the best ever, very festive and lots of bag pipes. The shop was very busy and it kept us on our feet. Usually we just sit back and watch but this year we decided to take part in the celebrations and have a Quilt display over the road from the shop. Lots of local ladies donated their time and help to set up the quilts, we would like to say thanks ,THANKS !!!.
 

We had a viewers choice award and it was won by Wendy Bridge from Albury. The proceeds from the gold coin donation and the raffle were donated to the Wangaratta and District Special School, they do a wonderful job with the children and we wanted to give them a little treat. On Monday I went over and presented them with the cheque. The kids are all thinking now what they can buy.

Give Away drawn !!

Congratulations Sue-Anne, You know who you are !!!

My son has pulled a name out of the bag and it is Sue-Anne. Please send me your details and I'll post out as soon as the books arrive. This has been alot of fun for my first giveaway and I'd like to thank everyone for the kind words and encouragement.

Hasn't the rain today been wonderful, though no sewing has been done. Last night I had a late class , so after a sleep in and a garage sale visit I needed a nanna nap. Maybe tomorrow I might get a little done.

Tomorrow I'm meeting a girl from Melbourne for an afternoon of stitching. Her family has a van up here and we are lucky enough to see her  many times through the year, hi Kim !!!

We had some amazing new fabrics arrive  in at the shop yesterday and this morning, now we need to find somewhere to put it all. Dick and Jane, Look and Learn, some great japanese ,some large florals,  stripes and spot from an Aussie, and the new Quest  for a Cure fabric by Northcott. Pop onto the site to check out the new fabrics .

Also my little sister is now making and selling the most wonderful Soy Candles. They are presented in gorgeous tins with aromas of Cappucino  Hazelnut, Sweetpea Vanilla, Baby powder and Rose. The tree in a previous post is the tree of her logo, Red Maple. Contact me for stockist details.
