Not long now

only a couple more days.

We have packed our bags and all of our supplies and are heading to Sydney tomorrow for the Stitches & Craft Show at Rosehill Racecourse beginning on Wednesday.

If you are in Sydney come and see us we are at Stand 173. The Incubator section of the Show is loads of fun and so much talent is on show. You will find us next to the Ink & Spindle girls and next to the the very lovely Belinda from Tutti Frutti who has the most amazing stuff .

As well as showing you our patterns (a few new ones too) , we are doing a couple of Workshops.

First up is the Simple Reversible Tote Bag - this is a great beginner project. You will receive a kit which includes all you need to make the reversible fully lined and appliqued bag. You will learn all of this in the 90 minute Workshop.

Next we have the Applique Canvas Workshop. Perfect for the beginner and fun for anyone else who wants to learn how to make a very quick a gift. This class is perfect for the kids that are coming to the Show.


A full kit is supplied and there are five designs to choose from.

We are really excited about being part of the Show again in Sydney this year and think that the team at Living Creatively do a fantastic job.

I had better go and finish the packing - see you at the Show.

Time for a winner!

Goodness time has flown by so quickly in the past week as we madly prepare patterns and kits for the upcoming Sydney Stitches and Craft show. It's a lot of work but worth all the effort as we have so much fun meeting everyone.

Anyway, sorry for the delay, I know you are all dying to find out who won the patterns! I thought my smallest girl could pick this one so she pulled the names out of a bowl.





So congratulations go to:

Gosh are we really a week late? I think Cathy and I are both being nice and lazy with our families for the school holidays!

But back to business for a minute. After removing the anonymous ones (sorry folks but I have no idea who you are) and a couple of double ups, I have input the numbers and the Random Number generator came up with the following:



And they are Christine from Aunties Quaint Quilts and the lovely Chalet Girl, Sheridan.

So ladies I will leave a comment on your blogs and when you get a moment send us your addresses and we will mail out your prizes. Just give us a week to mail them out as Cathy (Chief Officer in charge of pattern distribution) is away for a week.

Thank you all for such a lovely bunch of comments. There are more new patterns to come but for the moment we are taking it easy!
