Received...

On Saturday I was very lucky to have a visit from Pam who had me in the Down Under Doll Quilt Swap. She had hand delivered what she made me which was incredibly nice... and so was the doll quilt.

I love black and whites (I think I caught this from my mother) and this quilt really show cases how great black and whites are!

How great is that quilting!

This detail is removable and can be worn as a brooch.

 

 

I was also the lucky receiver of this pin as well, because Pam makes jewelery. How neat is that?!

Thank you so much Pam!

My first swap, and I really enjoyed it. I will be doing more, and for anybody considering you should really do it!

Loading

Been very busy today here at work. I've been loading the most delicious fabrics on to the computer for our online store.

Ones with flowers.

And some with stripes.

Funky geometric prints.

Panel prints (love the Ric Rac divide).

Let's not forget the numbers and letters (you know we love numbers and letters here at Amitie).

There's way more to come so keep your eye on the online store early next week to see what else there is (one print in particular I think you'll all be pretty excited about).

Be Careful not to drool on the keyboard!

Finsihed

My Down Under Doll Quilt Swap project is finished and in the post.

It's hand pieced using the paper piecing method and hand quilted in Perle 8.

I had a lot of fun doing this project!

I ran out of fabric in one of the stars... did you notice?

I hope you like it partner.

Made with love!

Beautiful fabrics, quilts and badges

We see a lot of beautiful things here at Amitie. Of course we see beautiful bolts of fabric lining the shelves, but sometimes it's not until you see what a customer does with it that you stop and think "I need some of that..."!

This was put together for a customer in NSW... so lovely and fresh the colours are swoon worthy. While packaging it up I had a lot of other people ask "What's that for?", and "Is that a kit?", it's clearly a popular colour palette!
Yum!

This lovely creation is by Simone. Simone is a part of Andi's Monday Scraptacular class.

The colours in this quilt have a great vintage feel to them - it's got a real life with your eye constantly moving across it, noticing new things.

Andi's class still has places available, and looks like a lot of fun!
For more information click HERE.

I have been working hard on Liberty of London badges.

They are now available in store.

And a small selection are online... and will be growing as the days go by!

Keep an eye out HERE.

She hangs in the shop's office. She's looking a little battered and dirty but I still love her.

The South East Stitching Group

I'm new to the craft game. I am surrounded by it every day at work so it was only a matter of time before I started to experiment myself... AND I LOVE IT! I spend so much of my spare time sewing, creating and dreaming up future projects. A few of my friends are interested in what I do but none of them do any themselves... so I guess I am looking for like minded souls which is why I am really looking forward to next Wednesday night.
The Mulgrave Makers Market (which you might remember from HERE) is organizing a stitching group, The South East Stiching Group. It is for any crafter, no matter how long you've been in the game, to come along, meet, greet, stitch, knit, show, tell and maybe even learn! There will be demo's every month on different crafts.
For the month of May the focus will be on;

Paper Piecing,

 and Knitting.

So come and say hi!
The group will meet every 2nd and 4th Wednesday of the months.
To register, simply email Rosina on info@mulgravemakersmarket.com.au by this Friday May 6. Please note for security, only those who have registered will be permitted to enter the building.

ALSO...
15% OFF SALE

If I had a dollar....

We all know the saying "If I had a dollar for every..."
Well... let me tell you about mine!

If I had a dollar for every time I picked up a thread from the floor/shelves/person I would be one rich little cookie.
If only I could sell my never ending collection of loose threads. Any takers?!
