Friday, July 22nd, 2011

We are in full swing preparing for the Melbourne Craft and Quilt Fair which opens next Thursday July 28 at the Melbourne Exhibition Centre on Southbank – yes folks, we are off to Jeff’s Shed again!

We are excited to be releasing new patterns, kits and BOMs at this show as well as showcasing our Disappearing Design Wall.

We are excited to welcome Johanne Jansen as our guest presenter – she will be showcasing the exciting new range of knitting yarns that have been capturing the imagination this winter.

Don’t forget to take advantage of the late trading option for Saturday – we will be there until 7.00pm – there will be special surprises in store for latecomers!

Craft and Sewing Show in Townsville

Saturday, July 16th, 2011

Currently we are in Townsville at the Craft & Sewing Show being held at the Townsville Entertainment Centre.  Two days in and we are having a great deal of fun catching up with regular clients and meeting heaps of new people.

The Townsville show visitors are the first to see the almost completed “Dutch Christmas” – a brand new 5 month Block of the Month Project designed and stitched by Catharina celebrating her Dutch heritage and in memory of her wonderful mum, Jose.

We thought we would give you a sneak peek of a few of the blocks…..

If you want to be amongst the first to sign up for this BOM – it’s $35 per month plus postage – all you need to do is email Howard at sales@cccpatchwork.com.au

“Hey Sis! Let’s put this mistletoe around the tree.”

No Dutch quilt is complete without the iconic windmill!
