Quilters Trail 2010 – ‘Our Heritage’
Posted by: | CommentsJoin in the fun and friendship – gather a group of friends and set out on a journey too Nine of the best southeast Queensland quilt shops. From April 1st to 30th each shop will be on the lookout for Quilt ‘ Trailers’ – carrying your special passport will ensure you receive the VIP treatment.
You need to arrange a passport so you’ll be ready to go in April. Passports will be available after the 15th March at the participating shops. You have until the end of April to complete your tour of all nine shops. At each shop when you make a purchase you get your Passport stamped and when you spend $10 or more you even receive a FREE GIFT.
After you’ve collected your Passport you need to take a bit of time to consider your wardrobe. The outfit you choose plays an important part in your Quilter’s Trail experience. Although you’re free to wear whatever you desire, it is tradition to reflect the Trail theme in your garb. Whatever you wear have fun!
Once you’ve finished the Quilter’s Trail and collected all your stamps, you’ll be entered into the prize draw – With prizes worth thousand’s of $’s and more. There’s always plenty of fun and surprises to be had on the Quilter’s Trail.
Show off Your Heritage of Quilting
This year’s Quilt Trail theme is The Heritage of Quilting and we thought that this would be a great opportunity for all of us to show our own quilting heritage. We would love to see your first ever quilt! Share them with us, and we’ll hang them in the shop during quilt trail in April!
Please let us know if you would like to come on one of our organised bus tours – visiting 4 of the other eight shops in one day. Dates TBA.
SUPER Sneak Peek
Posted by: | CommentsThe 2 Sneak Peek session are both now full…But even more of you are looking to squeeze into a place. In response to this we have added a third session to the day. We are now running a Thursday Evening Session that will run on the same day, 28th January, from 6.30pm to 8.30pm! These are absolutely the last places that we have left now, so please book to avoid disappointment. Speaking of disappointment, if you are interested in a class, but haven’t booked yet, get in now so that you won’t miss your place!
Urgent Sneak Peek Update
Posted by: | CommentsResponse to our SNEAK PEEK MORNING (28th January)has been so HUGE that we have had to change it to a SNEAK PEEK DAY and we need your help!
In the 2 short weeks since we listed our Classes, we have had so many bookings for our Sneak Peek Morning that we can’t fit any more in.
To prevent people missing out on a place, and to make the day more comfortable for those who have already booked, we have decided to run 2 Sessions on the day – one in the morning and one in the afternoon.
The original session will remain 9.30am to 11.30am and we have added a new session in the afternoon: 1.30pm to 3.30pm.
To make seating more relaxed, we are looking for volunteers to move to from the morning to the afternoon. If you have already booked for the morning and can help us with this, please give us a call or send us a quick Email.
Thank you to everyone who has booked so quickly. We appreciate your enthusiasm….

Learnin’ With Lizzy
Posted by: | Comments
Lizzy Allen, a Jenny Haskin’s accreditted teacher, visitted us with Floriani in October and ran 2 hands-on workshops. Lizzy brought with her not only her enormous embroidery tallent, but also her great story telling as she ran through Jenny Haskin’s Floating Diamonds. Everyone had a great time creating this cutwork piece and we were happy to see so many smiling faces while they were sewing. And speaking of Jenny Haskins, we only have a handful of her latest book, Galleria of Machine Artistry, left on the shelf. Currently sold out on her website, call us if you want us to hold one for you.
