Cottage Garden Threads Collectors Club 2015

Cottage Garden Threads Collectors Club 2015

 
The first round of the Cottage Garden Threads Collectors Club
 is finishing soon with the last posting expected within the next week.

Katie and her mum Pam are launching the second year of the club and it commences
 in February 2015.

Pam and Katie have listed to your feedback and this year there have been a couple of changes.

 It is a new program for 2015 with a whole new range of threads to collect.

Every month you will still receive four different threads (valued at $26.40), and  a stitchery pattern that will be part of a progressive sampler that showcases the threads used with a variety of stitches as well - a great way to extend your stitching knowledge.

The monthly patterns are designed by Australian designers will have a vintage sewing theme which at the end of the 12 months will all combine to make a quilt - at this stage I do now know size or fabric requirements for the quilt.

All of the stitchery and sampler designs will come with coloured pictures as well to assist in your stitching.


 The cost per month is normally $26.40 - Nays Place price is just $22 per month for residents of Australia - if you are international please enquire for postage cost.

 Please remember that it is a 12 month commitment - starting Feb 2015

For payment options I am able to charge your credit card monthly, will accept personal cheque or bank deposit or paypal invoice charge

Nov 2014 Design from Helen Stubbings of Hugs n Kisses


I have 4 places left for the round 2 - if you are interested please contact me via naysplace@hotmail.com or

Many Thanks

A great weekend and an update at last

WOW -
 doesn't a weekend of sewing restore your soul.
 
To be in a room full of people who just get you and understand you when all you want to do is look at the fabric and ponder what it would be like - to touch, feel, look, twist and turn and just go "oohhh yum" and let your mind wander and go overtime in what you can make with this.
 
Once again I as lucky enough to attend Robyn Welsh - Country Hart Indulge in Stitches weekend with Rosalie Quinlen and Bronwyn Hayes.  About 100 of us all headed to Seppeltsfield in the Barossa Valley South Australia to Maggie Beer Pheasant Farm for two days of fun, laughter, lots of talking and projects, projects, projects.  3 new projects per day - almost to much but I have lots of projects to go on - there are a few 'over achieving' ladies who have already finished - I'm sure if you visit Sue from Mallee Country Craft and Fudge you will see her finished projects.
 
Photo overload but have fun - mum and I meet up with the lovely Brooky Girls - aka Alison M, Alison W and Maxine - we meet some new friends Jenny, Jan, Tina, Karen and Renai.  Also caught up with ladies form our table last year Cherie, Fiona, Anne, Pauline, Trish and Joy and reminisced about how 2 ladies how two ladies that weren't very nice made last years weekend and nice it is to not have them here this year. 
 
Robyn, Abbie, Steve and Kirrily did a great job again, Ellie Beer and staff did a magnificent job of the catering - and ye Robyn has booked the venue again for next year - be interesting to see who the tutors are?

So this has got me thinking - when you look at going to a sewing weekend/day what do you want - multiple projects - full kit for each project, finishing kits to purchase, full catering, accommodation included or book your own, set tables or move each day so you can meet new people. 
 
Now that our local shop has closed it doors - Nays Place will be going full steam ahead - as much as I can anyway and I would love to host a workshop
so tell me everyone would you travel to the Riverland
for a weekend of fun, fabric, chocolate and more?
