On the way home...

we stopped in Albury for a break...as we drove along a street I spied a hobby shop....great attraction for hubby, so we parked and got out...as we did I spied a patchwork shop...joy and happiness !!!

so hubby went one way and I went the other. The shop was 

Kay who was working here was just lovely...so helpful and friendly and welcoming...the shop had many beautiful kits and patterns and fabric....so many treasures ...of course I had to come out with goodies, who can't in a new shop! !

lovely kits for Christmas goodies

some ground walnut for pincushions...

and as I was wandering round the shop Kay approached me and said if I wanted to buy a kit, I could have it 50% off...they were going on sale the next day but Kay said I could have it a it earlier...how nice was that!! 

so I bought two and got the two for the price of one!!! Love a bargain!! These quilts are about lap quilt size so can be made bigger if necessary with extra sashings...same pattern with different fabrics. Would highly recommend a visit to this shop if you are passing through Albury...you will be made very welcome...and if you aren't pasing they are happy to make up kits, or send patterns or fabric through the post..they don't  have all their products on the web shop but if you contact them and ask they will do what they can. Ok promotion over!!!! Lol! I was very impressed....

back in the real world....

the supervisor kept a close eye on me this afternoon.....I had the vacuum cleaner out!! 

Happy sewing.

A few weeks ago I was on facebook and had a look at the The Quilted Gumboot and was lucky enough to win one of their spot prizes

I won a $20 voucher but opted to get a surprise in the post and am now the proud owner of two new patterns - one dogs and kangaroo....not sure how a kangaroo comes from NZ but not to worry!  The other a raggy Christmas tree. Am keen to have a go at them!
