Back to the 70s & more.

Hi again girls,
Wellllll, haven't we have some rain over the last few nights.

My god it was a beauty last night, spare a thought for my poor husband who is on call.He got a call out at 11.30 & didn't get back home to 2.30 this morning! Of course came home wet after putting up "water over roads" signs everywhere. Living on a hill does have some advantages, water runs straight off.
So what do you do when waiting for him to return safely home from the thunder & lightning & pouring rain? Well you think about what you are going to put in the next Blog , of course!

So hopefully I can brighten up your world a little today.


Hope these fabrics will do the trick.
They are called "Poppy Modern" & are by Jane Dixon.
They retail for $24.00 per metre.

So pretty with a touch of the 70s sneaking in the design if I'm not wrong.
They say everything old is new again that seems to be very true at the moment, with fashion & our quilting fabrics.





Also  featuring in the red tones is the designs of Barbara Jones
called "Cruzin".
These are also $24.00 per metre.
These are a bit cute, must admit the red one with the bikes is my favourite.
Could just see a little xmas dress made out of this .






And now for something completely different!!
These beautiful  Hibiscus flowers are $22.00 per metre.
These are lovely big prints & would look great as a centre panel or as a
One Block Wonder quilt.

NEWS FLASH
New Tilda stock just in store!!

Haven't seen it myself yet, so will be looking forward to checking it out at work tomorrow!!
Elaine is busily unpacking as I type.

Cheers for now, Jen

Winter Warmers

Hi everyone,
Well I walked into work this morning armed with my camera to take some piccies for the blogspot.
I did have an idea what 2 ranges that I would feature in my head, BUT WAIT!!!
There are lots of new fabrics in, what a dilema, which to choose.
Sometimes it's a hard thing working at Picture Patchwork!!

So tempting!!

The first 2 that I want to tempt you with are both in our windows.

Firstly the Dear Stella range,there are 12 bolts to choose from that are priced at $22.00 per metre Beautiful colours featuring botanical prints, a bold stripe & some geometric patterns to mix & match in.
I absolutely love this range, so pretty.





Also we have some fabric called Hello Tokyo. 

Any little girl that is a fan of Hello Kitty would probably like this too.

This range is in very strong colours & features little japanese girls , along with their cat & bird.

Selina has done up a kit using this fabric with a large front panel with the japanese girls on it. The kit is called Jesse's Quilt.
This would be a perfect quilt for a beginner or just a quickie to whip up .
The fabric range is $22.00 per metre & has 13 different designs to choose from.
The kit is just $69.95 & is a single bed size, great value!
This kit also comes in several other variations.






We also have a new boys kit called Kayden's Ladder.
It retails for $150.00 & is made up of  a skater range.
As you can see,this is in autumn tones.
 The pattern is also available for $14.95 if you would like to choose your own fabric to complete your project.











That is all I'm going to show for now, I will add more next week or if you like you can check out our Facebook page where Elaine  has popped some of our new ranges on.
Don't forget we are still running classes for the beginner through to the more experienced sewer.
Bye for now, happy sewing! 
Jen
