Winding Ways......

Is just around the corner. I have been adding bits to the blog. The challenge this year is to make a Winding Ways name tag. The Winding Ways logo and some specs are on the blog. If you wear one to my shop there'll be a small gift for you. 

I have also added a list of shops you might like to visit when you come to Mrs Martin's. Monbulk has a lovely shopping strip, something for every one, there's food, clothing, plants and Op shops. There's also the Monbulk butchers - yummy meat. They have a lot of different things that are already prepared for you, just heat and eat. Perfect if you've been out all day. Make sure you set aside a little time to wander around the town.

One of the locals.....

Has just won Gold at the Chelsea Flower Show. Congratulations to Wes and his team at Flemmings Nursery. 

Issue 10 Vignette.....

I have just been notified that the mag should be in the warehouse Monday May 27th, so shouldn't be too long until it gets here. For those waiting l will let you know as soon as it arrives.

Winding Ways Shop Hop......

I have just added all you'll need to know if you are doing the Winding Ways Shop Hop. Just visit the Winding Ways Album of the right hand side of the blog.

Thought it might be fun if you had the chance to make a name tag to wear while you're on completing Winding Ways. There''ll be a small prize from me if you wear it while you're Mrs Martin's Quilt Shop.

There's also a list of other shops you might like to visit while you're in my neck of the woods.

Feel free to download any of the info sheets or shoot me an email if you have any questions.

Peace, Love, Joy.....

I can't believe l haven't added this to the web site, check it out.

 The perfect way of using some of that yummy felt that has just arrived.

The Stunning Stable Bag.....

Pattern has arrived. Don't know a whole lot about it. Will start making it soon and then l'll share the size and anythbing else l find out about it along the way.

What l do know though is the price - $21.00 plus $1.80 postage within Australia. I also know it opens up wide so that you can stuff lots of things into it.

 

 

More swaps.....

Maria sent these goodies to Clare......

And this is what she got in her parcel from Clare....

A great one for kids.....

My web site is being very unkind at the moment so will add some newies to the blog until it starts to behave itself.

This is a goodie from Lynne Wilson Designs. A great one for the kids or maybe make it for the car or the caravan - a quilt in a pillow. So, so easy, l haven't made it but it looks very easy, trust me. Measures approximately 50" x 69" and it all folds into a lovely cushion. Pattern available for $10.00 plus postage.

Easy as Quilt.....Michelle

If you looked in the Classes Album you'll see that this class was scheduled for March 25th, if you are dissspointed about missing it stop worrying right now. The editor of the blog (that would be me) wrote the wrong date, it's actually May 25th, the Saturday after next. Let me know if you'd like to join us.

I am all over it.....

Thanks to some wonderful customers l have tracked down and ordered some Stable Bag patterns. They are being posted this afternoon, fingers crossed they'll be here by Monday. Have already sold one to my mate Fat Quarter.

Just let me explain her name. She came with me to the Roller Derby last Saturday night. We had a great night and decided to create a virtual team called the Mad Quilters. Of course to be in the team you need a name, l am Rotary Cutter and Lisa has chosen Fat Quarter. If you want to sign up let me know your skating name.

I can picture you shaking your head while you read this and thinking that l have got too much time on my hands.

Wendy got these from....

Michelle in the Let's Celebrate Swap. Wonder what she'll be inspired to make?

 

More yummy wool.....

Sold yesterday's wool, so here are 5 more colours for you to drool over, they are $5.50 a piece.

 Starting from the left, be warned l am making up the names of the colours as l go, they don't actually have names. Jade Green, Forest Green, Mid Brown, Harvest Orange, Cardinal Red.
Pretty fancy really considering l named our children Tom and Sam.

Winding Ways Shop Hamper.....

Take a peek at what you get if you win Mrs Martin's Quilt Shop hamper in the Winding Ways Shop Hop.

 

I need your help again.....

I am trying to find and email address/ website for The Villiage Quilt Shop in Mittagong. They have a fabulous bag called The Stunning Stable Bag which l would love to get. If anyone can put me onto a site l'd been a happy lady.

The trip.....

I have decided to let Lauren from the travel agents do the work for me. And already l feel a lot more relaxed. Thanks for your advice.

Oh my goodness....

On a brighter note let me share these new pieces of dyed wool that arrived last Thursday with you. They are yum, yum, yummy.

Start from the left hand side, we have purple, pink, red, green and plum. I have lots of others, don't really know how to present them to you any other way as they don't have names. They are $5.50 a piece and a piece is about 10"x7', give or take a whisker. I don't want to straighten them up and waste those whiskers. I am going to start using them in my new projects. In the meantime take a peek.

Let's Celebrate.....

One of my girls has just withdrawn from the Let's Celebrate Swap. She sent her first gift and received nothing, her partner didn't even acknowledged she'd received her gift. There was nothing for Mother's Day either. I am pleased to say that she was waiting to see if anything arrived before she sent her parcel off.

I had another partner on standby but she has decided not to take me up on that offer. Sad really, no one forces people to sign up for these swaps. I don't believe there was anything wrong with this lady, when l got in touch with her after the first present she just said that her gift must have got lost in the mail. I wonder.....

Sorry about being so grumpy this early in the morning, but it's dissapointing when something like this happens.

Winding Ways, 2013.....

On the right hand side of the blog you'll find some information about Winding Ways. There's a pic of each of the shops so that yopu know what you'll be looking for.

Info sheets can be picked up from the shops. Feel free to print it yourself. Let the planning begin! Organise a bunch of friends or come alone, we'll make sure you enjoy yourself either way.

Is it a cop out.....

To let your travel agent book your accommodation for you when you're heading off on a big adventure.

Any ideas.....

On a ball park figure for a night's accomodation in and around London. Not top of the range, clean is all we ask.

Can you help me please?

One of my customers would like to do a quilt with Aussie animals on it. Does anyone know of such a pattern l can get in for her? Thanks heaps dear friends.

Rather post twice than not at all....

I am not sure if l put the goodies Shez got from Maria on the blog. So here they are. Nice work Maria, KXXX.
