Primitive Mag.....
I have just seen one of the projects in the new Prim Mag, a lovely quilt/ wall hanging. The girls are expecting to have the mag mid January. Guess we'll be a couple of weeks after that. I order extras so if you want one just let me know. Looks like it will still be $13.00.
Done, thought you might like it.

The borders are on......
And the quilt is ready to go to Lisa to be quilted. Threw it on my bed this morning to take a pic for you, my bed is only a double, but this quilt fits nicely. When let you see it when Lisa has worked her magic. It really only took me a couple of hours to put together, you've got to love that.
Its $13 Julie, and an extra $3 if you want it posted. Is that ok, will be ordering tomorrow.
Cheers

Primitive Quilts and Projects.....
Has arrived today. They have not given me my full quota so l am going to have to order more. I already have a couple of ladies email and ask if they could have a copy so l have added them to the list. This edition is full of very yummy Christmas Projects. There was a lot of drooling when the Wed...
I was one of the very lucky ones to receive one of Cathy's beautiful cards. Thank you so much Cat, l loooove it.
I was also lucky enough to receive a bucnh of flowers from Julz.
Christmas Cards....
This years Christmas Card theme is inspired by genuine vintage sheet music, old advertisements, sepia photos.... I grabbed these great A5 pads from Kaisercraft that have a nice edge and a fold - ready to be instant cards. You get 4 designs and 20 in a pack for under $5. So for $10 I can make 40 ...
Apple Core Tutorial......
Like many of you, my girls love English Paper Piecing. Bron and l caught up with Sue from Patchwork With Busy Fingers at the trade show on the weekend. We are both hooked. Bron is working on an Apple Core class sample for Term 1 next year. More about that when the Term 1 Newsletter is complete. ...
My new sign.....
Last week Viv helped me work on my shop sign, this is the lone l'll be taking when we take Mrs Martin's Quilt Shop on the road. It was my first attempt at raw edge applique. Viv has always said raw edge is simple and l have discovered she's right.
Another UFO complete.....
Finished this one a week ago. We have been filling out the census and Syb wandered in, she's a people dog this girl. She just sat looking. She's not allowed up on chairs since she hurt her back legs. As soon as l brought my new Scrappy Christmas quilt in she settled. I have been meaning to show ...
First E dition of my E newsletter......
Is going out tomorrow. Remember, it's never too late to sign up.
Kits.....
They tell me kits are the way to go. I agree they sell well in the shop, l just find there never seems to be enough time to organise them. I hope to do a lot more kits once we move. But of course that's still a coupl;e of months off so l may as well give them a go. l have moved the Kit Album to ...
The lock out.....
On Monday l broke the lock to the back door of the shop. I could get out luckily but couldn't get back in. No drama l used the front door. Yesterday had a builder friend come up and replace the lock. He tested it and all was well. So locked up the front of the shop as always and went down to th...
A snippet of my day.....
Had a lady call in yesterday to tell me she was making a scrap quilt and had run out of scraps, She asked if l had any to spare. She seemed sursprised when l told her that l bag the scraps up into fat 1/ 4 scrappy packs and sell them. She wasn't interested in that. I am heading down to the butch...
Primitive Quilts and Projects......
For the primitive quilter and stitcher. This is the new mag l have been rabbiting on about. Have shown 2 of my groups and they love it.There are projects from one of my favs - Kathy Schmitz. But there are also some fabulous projects from other fabulous designers including Paula from Bonnie Blue ...
Doing a deal.....
I have just come across a brand new mag from USA thanks to my friend Dot. Mine arrived late last week and l loooove it. I think you might loooove it too and so l am in the process of organising an order, just checking on the postage. It's has 17 primitive projects from 17 different designers inc...
An honourable mention.....
You may remember the the quilt called Under the Sea on display at the Quilt Show last Saturday. We had so many comments about this quilt that l had to share it with my blog readers. The quilt was made by Megan and Erin. They made it for a school project. Megan designed the quilt and she and her ...

Fabric Frolic 2011.....
We've made a few changes to the 2011 Fabric Frolic which l think people will enjoy. Each shop is responsible for designing a small project. I am by no means a designer but l have had a lot of fun putting my project together. Couldn't help myself, it's a Christmas project. Never too early to star...

I have just placed an order for 6 of the new William Morris Books. Fingers crossed they'll be here next week. Julie Anne and Roslyn don't panic, yours will be put aside for you. The Country Inn book from Blackbird Designs should be in the warehouse by the end of the month. I have them on order t...

I am happy to report that Ray's op went brilliantly yesterday. He was in surgery for almost 6 hours and then in recovery for another 2. I waited in his room for the last hour or so and l must say by the 6 hour mark l was starting to get worried. The doc rang me about an hour later and gave the g...
