Joy Coey Workshop

On Saturday 15th October we had the wonderful Joy Coey for a workshop. It was a fabulous day enjoyed by all 16 ladies who attended. Joy specialises in the 'Quilt-as-you-Go' method of patchwork and quilting. Of those 16 ladies there were four staff members, myself (Jenny), Debbie (our Manager), Julia and Leanne. Myself and Leanne usually work on Saturdays but we really wanted to do this workshop so Jennene kindly stepped in and looked after the shop for us. Unfortunately, Sue-Ellen (the Boss) was unable to be there with us as she was in hospital. Don't worry Sue we looked after Joy and all the ladies and the day was a huge success. We all sincerely wish you a speedy recovery.

Bev almost completed hers, one border then the binding to go. Well done Bev.

Carol almost finished - great going Carol.

Debbie with end borders and binding to go. When will we see it finished Deb?????

Denise also has one border and binding to go. Ready for Christmas Denise.

Dot tells us that she hasn't done any sewing for 15 years so this is a great achievement.

Well done Leanne, a great effort for one so ... mmmmm shall I say 'fussy'.

How good do these two look, good work Helen and Karen.

Kerry-Anne with one of her borders on back to front. I don't have a pic of Kerry-Anne with her finished runner. A great achievement Kerry-Ann.

Julie chose Oriental fabrics for hers and it looks fabulous. Great choice Julie.

And this is my effort. Now to finish it off hand stitching down the sashings and binding.

Thanks for a wonderful day Joy.

We've moved

To all our friends, we have moved to a new a better location now situated at 18 Toonburra St Bundaberg.

Our new store is 3 times larger than our last one.  

We now stock Pfaff Sewing Machines which we love especially with the IDT.  On the weekend some of the staff went down to Terrigal in NSW to see the new machines just released such as the 2 Ambition machines.  A great little machine with blanket stitch and the Ambition 1.5 also has the sensormatic free motion, which is a great  help when doing free motion quilting.

Also release was the new Creative Sensation,  this machine has to be seen to be believed.  It is just a dream.  (Where do they stop!!!!)

Its Singers 160 Anniversary and they have a limited edition sewing machine that is a take off the original black cast iron one, at only $499 with a going trade in, is great value.  All machines received as trade ins will be donated to a 3rd world country.

So come in a visit us if you would like more information on these machines or anything else we can help you with.
