This quilt is for  a single bed, the size being approx 54 x 76" . This pattern also contains the gorgeous robot cushion which is done in a stitchery technique...you could applique that as well if preferred.

Beachside Bears...and Ship Ahoy Gollies



Beachside Bears and Ship Ahoy Gollies are both within this pattern, as if not buying a kit you need to replace the beach house fabric.

Pattern:$17.60.
For those purchasing a pattern, there is no pattern for the beach sheds as this fabric has a copyright on it. There are however, alternative ideas for making the borders e.g. the Gollie version shown. The pattern also contains a full alphabet in upper and lower case.
Kit: $110- one kit with both patterns- which includes all fabrics for quilt top and binding including threads, fusible web and buttons.
If buying a kit, please nominate the bear or gollie version.
Pattern plus beach house fabric:$25.10
Beach house fabric on its own: $8.50
Postage and handling is included within Australia. 
Overseas orders are credit card or paypal only. 





unfortunately the colors are not true here. The most true  colors are the bear quilt. The gollie quilt is a more teal color- closer to the colors on the pattern pack above.

It's Time For Christmas

This Christmas quilt is a Bronwyn Hayes design and will be featured monthly in Homespun magazine as a BOM. This BOM began in the February issue this year.
The pattern is only available through the purchase of the magazine, but I have fabric kits available ( in small numbers) .  
Pattern: available through Homepsun magazine.
Kit: $133.00 

Kit includes all fabrics for quilt top and binding as listed in the Feb issue. It also includes weaveline.
* I have used many of the French General Favorites for this quilt, although some that Bronwyn has used have not been re released as the favorites range.
As the BOM progresses it may be that I have not factored in all the necessary scraps (as it is difficult to ascertain these from this initial photo), so these will be sent out if and when required. Any larger amendments made ( if made at all), throughout the magazine will incur an additional cost.
 One fabric I have made a definite change to is the central border fabric. I  believe mine will be much easier to  centre the design on the fabric so that it is the same on each side of the central square.
There is also a starter pack of the DMC threads for an additional $12.00

Postage and Handling included within Australia.
Overseas: credit card and paypal only.


Unfortunately the lovely border fabric I have included is hidden ( 2 to the left of the dark chocolate one). Will try to remember to take another photo and scan it.

Wooden letters

Laser cut letters approx 1" ( 2.5 cm), these are ideal for card making, scrap booking, or even some sewn projects. All letters of the alphabet are available.
 Price $2.75  per letter.

 Postage and Handling extra.
Overseas: credit card and paypal only.
