Term News

I know I've been ranting and raving about SUE SPARGO coming from the USA to teach here in Bathurst , and here I go again!! But finally I now have something to rant and rave about - we have dates!! Sue will be here to inspire and teach on Friday 24th April for a one day workshop and the 25th and 26th April for a two day workshop.

We are going back to basics for many classes at the start of 2009. Michelle is starting a night time Beginners class for those of you who have never sewn before. We also have a very easy (but oh so yummy) bag from one of my favourite designers - Liberty Star, a very simple quilt (Ava Rose) to showcase the fabulous large prints which are so popular; Anni Smith from Country Keepsakes is teaching a very cute and simple doll, I am teaching punch needle and woven wool applique. Everything mentioned is not hard, so now is the perfect opportunity to give something new a try.
See you soon,
Anni
