The Bountiful Quilt

My Lordy....

Did time get away from me? Absolutely. I have all these grand notions of becoming the next Julia Powell (from Julie/Julia - I watched the DVD yesterday) and being discovered for the unknown talent that I indeed am, but I flopped.

But I'm back today!

I've so many UFO's on the go and have been feeling so overwhelmed with my sewing room. It's awful when you get to that stage - crippled by the amount of work there. I've made a list, I've started to systematically cross those darn UFO's off my list. I present a few for your enjoyment (I just need to work out how to load a photo - hang on!).

An Update - Finally!

I haven’t updated my blog as much as I would have liked, but rest assured I’ve been working doubletime loading stock onto the website.

We’re now all done, apart from one or two smaller things, but the important stuff – the fabric – is now online.

So if you want to wander over there, I’ve got remnant pieces for $7.50 a metre – lots of different styles and colours. I think there’s more than four hundred separate pieces there at last count.

We’ve got fabric by the metre for $10 here . If you buy more than four metres in one length, you can have it for $7.50 a metre.

We have loads and loads of patterns here – quilting, stitchery, dolls, bags, you name it. Lots of great names – Melly and Me, Gail Pan, McKenna Ryan. A mixed bag.

We have scrap bags here for $10 – an a4 sized bag stuffed with fabric pieces – you can fit two in a postage pack and they are fantastic value.

We have our charm packs – forty 5 inch squares for $7.50 here.

There is so much other stuff online - $1 knitting needles, $1 wools, $1 knitting patterns by Patons, Panda, Cleckheaton, you name it. I’ve got tapestry kits complete with wool, longstitch kits and cross stitch kits. There’s felt, Dyes, Charms and Buttons.

I think I’ve covered it all but I’m sure there’s so much more online – please feel free to go and check us out at www.renmarkcraftcorner.com

We are also pleased to be a visiting shop at Sunraysia Patchwork Friend’s 20^th birthday celebrations on Saturday 24^th October at the Cardross Hall. Hopefully we will see lots of our friends from Mildura and Surrounds there.

Happy Quilting!

Two weeks later....

I know, I said I would be back tomorrow. Doesn't time slip away?!!

After a very big sale, and an even bigger month, Renmark Craft Corner has now closed it's doors. I'm a little sad, really. It's been a big part of my life for over fifteen years - every major event that has happened to me since I got married has happened whilst I've been working there.

But life moves on and I am really looking forward to the next phase. The house looks like a bomb has hit it. We are slowly moving all the excess stock into my lounge room so that I can upload it to the www.renmarkcraftcorner.com website. I think I can expect a few late nights while I get that done.

So please stay tuned and keep checking the shop website - everything will be half price so there is definitely some major bargains to be had there!

Happy Quilting!
