This week we took delivery of an assortment of great fabrics from Moda including these handy stash builders from Blue Barn Prints and Grand Traverse Bay ~ all $26.50 a metre.
PLUS, we restocked the VERY popular "Longfellow "script print from Windham Fabrics seen here in light mottled cream and a light tan (centre 2 fabrics).

Brilliant backgrounds and a cute novelty vintage sewing print |
As promised, here is some of the beautiful work we saw at Show &Tell
at our last meeting of the Castlemaine Applique Group. There's always
so much talent and enthusiasm in the room, and even some not in the room! Our Show & Tell kicked off with this beauty Helen Hayes sent along with friends even though she couldn't get to the meeting herself! Wow, thanks Helen for showing us this gorgeous quilt - started in a class with Di Ford-Hall at Primarily Patchwork years ago and just recently finished. We love Helen's use of colour!

Sue made this scaled down version of Di Ford-Hall's Maggie Grace's Garden for a baby on the way - pity the baby arrived and is a boy - so now she's making another identical quilt in navy red, and cream!

Here's Barb's Blessing Quilt made in class with Robyn Falloon - beautiful colours Barb! |
Our best buddy Sam has been disgracing himself this week~ you've heard of skip diving...well Sammy's been Bin-Diving. The medicine he is on at the moment makes him extra hungry and he's been face-planting every rubbish bin in sight here at the shop in the hope of finding a little extra morsel of food. Lunch time at Threadbear has become a precarious balancing act as we guard our sandwich from the marauding hound! Have a great weekend everyone!
