Welcome everybody to our 'new look' blog! We have moved on over from our older Blog HERE and decided it was time to have a quicker, easier URL name.
As you can see on the older blog its been a long time since we've posted or updated. Our store has so many more fabrics and patterns etc now that its really time to keep you all up to date on what's going on and all our new goodies that just keep on coming in.
Well its that time of year again to get those winter woollies out! Those that know me will know that I have recently moved down to Hamilton from Auckland and the weather is certainly a lot colder down here. We have a great range of gorgeous designer flannels to warm you up plus some cute ones for the kids. Included in the designs are flannels from Amy Butler and Valori Wells. So get out those PJ patterns and start sewing!
Amy Butler has a couple of stunning new patterns out showing off her new 'Love' colour story. We also have a good range of her Love collection including quilting cottons, flannels, canvas weight and laminated fabrics.
These pictures are from Amy Butler's website showing examples of how you can use her laminated fabrics, for more inspiration go HERE
Here are Amy's two new patterns, in stock now:
Another fabulous range we have new in store is the 'Nicey Jane' colour story by Heather Bailey. Here is a stunning image of some of the fabrics from her BLOG
How stunning are these gorgeous pillows, just adore this collection.
Sewing Classes
If anybody is interested in sewing classes to learn how to make a quilt, bag, pillows, homeware, clothing etc we have the talented Liz Emtage working for us. Classes are held on a Wednesday evening from 7pm til 9pm. The classes are a cost of $20 Tutor fee plus materials. Simply phone 09 5703200 or email scrapbookstudio@xtra.co.nz to book. This is an ongoing course night providing we get enough attendees each week.
Accuquilt Studio
Have you heard? We are lucky enough to own a Accuquilt Studio Cutter plus Accuquilt Go Cutter complete with several cutting dies in store. We have these machines & dies for hire at a cost of $14 per half hour. With these machines you can cut your own custom made jelly rolls, charm squares, applique shapes, basic shapes for your quilts. These machines cut your cutting time right down and cuts them accurately with very little wastage.
Because we have this machine we also have some custom made Jelly Rolls instore like this one for example using some of the Nicey Jane Collection.
Another stunning range we finally got in after waiting since January are the bolts for Moda's 'Blush' by Basic Grey. We had this range in paper for Scrapbooking a couple of years back and we as very popular collection. The fabrics are just gorgeous, the layer cakes, charm squares and jelly rolls went out the door back in February so we have custom made some more Jelly Rolls if anybody is interested.
The Tanya Whelan bag patterns have been turning over very quickly so we just ordered a top up. We also have good range of her fabrics in store also.
Well, I guess this is enough to give you a general idea of what goodies are currently in store, come on over and have a look for yourself, the beautiful colourful fabrics are very inspiring!
