Fresh look at Picture Patchwork

Hi Everyone,
Jen here, apologies for being off the radar for quite awhile.
Have to get my act together & keep you all up to date on what's been happening here at Picture Patchwork.
Well where do I start, firstly I should mention that unfortunately our Deloraine store has now closed. The good news is that we brimming with lots of lovely fabric as all the fabric from Fresh has made it's way back here to Latrobe!! So now you can see it all in  the one location..Must say our store looks great!
We also have some new lovely fabric ranges in, but more about that on my next post.

For those of you that may not have been in for awhile , we also have a newish staff member.( she has been her for a little while) We are lucky enough to have Susan working with us.
Susan has been sewing for a long time covering many areas with her skills,dressmaking, pattern drafting & soft furnishings just to name a few. Of course it goes without saying that she is a dab hand at Patchwork!
She came along to our store for many classes with Selina in the past &  has a real love for the craft.
Now she is also teaching here at Picture Patchwork. Susan loves fabric( as we all do) & likens it to working in a lolly shop for adults..

We also have Edith teaching some classes for us. Edith taught here a number of years ago when Selina was busy having babies!!
Edith has been sewing since 2000 when she came into the shop & saw Selina cutting with a rotary cutter NOT scissors.After doing some research & some classes with Selina & Kat Stone, she was hooked.
Edith now sews mainly for herself making her beautiful quilts but also offers a home quilting service which she does on her frame.

Of course  Selina is still teaching classes too but just not quite as many as she was before. She is such a busy girl we allowed her to take a bit of time out for herself & we ALL know how that feels, that's why we do patchwork!!

So come in & check out all our wonderful samples of classes that we are running & cure those winter blues by spending some time here with us learning & laughing along the way!!!
Till next time, bye for now
