A few weekends ago the Australian Quilt Market was held in Melbourne and sadly I couldn't be there this year, BUT my samples were. I am SO grateful to the wonderful Creative Abundance team for all that they did to have my samples there and to share them with my customers. A very BIG thank you to my lovely friend Natalie Ross who did a fantastic job of setting up my section of the booth and for primping my samples throughout the weekend for me too. Here is my stand...
And a close up of some of my samples...
If you look closely at the first photo, you will see that I have a NEW design in there. I am thrilled to finally be able to share this with you. It is called 'Stitch a little Christmas'...
'Stitch a little Christmas' is a 2 part pattern, made up of my Christmas Bell Bag and a smaller Gift bag. I designed the Bell bag to be hung in your home and Christmas time, not only as a decoration but also somewhere to pop some sweet treats for your family and friends.
And the smaller gift bag is designed as a special way to 'wrap' smaller gifts for family and friends. I can even see these sitting on place settings at your Christmas table, with special gifts inside for each family member - a great replacement for the bon bon.
The pattern is already on its way to my lovely distributors, Creative Abundance so will be available VERY soon. If you are a shop that is keen to stock this pattern, I am sure they would be happy to take pre orders too.
SO here is my 'Stitch a little Christmas' pattern. Just in time for Christmas...
AND because I like to show you my patterns made in other colours, here is a group shot of some of my beautiful Tuesday girls - we enjoyed a day of stitching together where they each made their own version of the Christmas Bell Bag...
As you can see, this bag can be made in other colours and used for non Christmas themes too. Sue (on the left of the shot) made two bags for her Granddaughters and made them in colours to match their bedrooms. They are going to hang them in their rooms with their hair accesories in them.
I am thrilled to finally share this pattern with you, as it is something I have been working on for quite a while. I hope you would like to 'Stitch a little Christmas' too. x Janelle
