Winter Workshop fun.......

Our 2016 Winter Workshops were great fun with talented tutors Michelle Yeo & Anita, demonstrating for Westalee Rulers. The girls in Michelle's class chose several different projects to work on, which created lots of interest during the day. We welcomed Michelle's talent & expertise & we look forward to seeing the finished projects.

Check out the cute little sheep that have been fussy cut in the middle star. We know the little farmer will love this quilt.

Anita was kept busy for 2 days demonstrating & guiding the ladies through the use of the amazing Westalee rulers & machine quilting. Anita is an excellent tutor, who loves sharing her knowledge. It was so good to see our ladies excited to be going home to fine tune their quilting skills.

On the Road Again.........

On Monday, Quilters Harvest will be at the Green Triangle Day hosted by the Naracoorte Mill Quilters in Naracoorte. The day commences at 9.30am & you will be assured of a great day out, with traders, guest speakers, the usual show & tell & good country food. Our stand will be stocked  full of new fabrics & project kits just waiting to be made up. We look forward to seeing you there.

Barb Smith, Winter Workshop tutor....

What a great diverse range of talent we have organised for our July Winter Workshops. As well as Michelle Yeo, we welcome Barb Smith who designs under the name of Theadora Cleave. We love the way Barb uses stamping stencils, stitching & buttons to embellish your work. This class will encourage you to let yourself get lost in the world of creativity with the help of Barb's ideas & techniques. A kit will be supplied for this class & is included in the cost. Don't forget the dates are July 9th & 10th.  Call us for more details of this class.

Winter Workshops.....

We are preparing for our Winter Workshops to be held on July 9th & 10th. This year our very talented tutors will be Michelle Yeo, Barb Smith & Anita Ellis who is demonstrating for Westalee Rulers. Michelle Yeo will have 4 different quilts to chose from. Two of these quilts can be a 2 day class. Contact the shop to learn more details.

These will be the 4 quilts you can chose from.  Each has been designed & made by Michelle. At the moment Michelle is in USA promoting her new range of fabric, her patterns & her book. We are very lucky to have Michelle come to us, so we hope you will support her class.
We will post details of the other classes later in the week.

Class in Hopetoun......

The lovely ladies from the Hopetoun Patchwork Group have been working on the embroidery & clamshell part of their Two Fruit Tins for some time. I went up for a visit to the group to help them assemble their projects. It was a lot of fun & they were very happy to see the project finished at last. This delightful little container is designed by Hugs & Kisses & is perfect for holding all your marking tools etc.  Patterns & Kits are available from Quilters Harvest.

Friday Night Fun.......

Come & join the Friday Girls at about 6.00pm. for an evening of stitching & fun. We pamper you with food & wine while you wind down after a weeks work. Bring the project you are working on and share tips & ideas.

Natures Blessings......

We hope all you girls have finished the first beautiful stitchery in Gail Pan's Block of the Month "Natures Blessings" because the next one is on its way. These are such lovely detailed stitcheries that could be used in many different projects. Why not frame them & hang together as a group or make a carry bag or....... We still have a few spare kits if anyone would like to join in.

Autumn is off to a busy Start......

2016 is off & running at Quilters Harvest. We often find that it is rather quiet at the shop until after the long hot summer is over. Well Autumn is here & we are starting to make plans for the year ahead. Just to let you know a few things that we are planning. We have had lots of offers to visit Quilting groups for their exhibitions, our Winter Workshop tutors have all been booked, our Spring Stitching Retreat tutors are also finalized & our regular Sit & Sew days have all started again. Our regular Friday Girls Group met last Friday night & enjoyed their meal & some stitching. Today the Tuesday Sit & Sew group is very busy stitching & enjoying some fellowship. We welcome new comers to any of our group days. Call the shop for more details
