Sale finishes end of October, loving the new arrivals and a reminder I am closed this Sunday the 18th Sept

My sale has been fun and I have met a lot of new people - sending items to Ireland,  Ipswich, Jamestown, Maitland and everywhere in-between.  I have decided to keep many of my $10 specials going for the month of October - these will be available on my big cartel store - with the new Summer season stock arriving I need to make more room.

Absolutely loving the new arrivals - first unpacked is Mon Ani by Basic Grey
All fabrics $18 per metre - whilst the Australian dollar is dropping the cost of fabrics have risen - will try and keep prices low but as they are costing me more eventually will have to increase prices.



I also stock over 25 Bella Solid colours and have included these in the sale.

Just a reminder I am closed this Sunday the 18th October as we are away this weekend.  The online shop is never closed as a I have mentioned if you get overcharged for the postage I will refund the difference- undercharged and I wear the difference.

Thanks for dropping by

Missing in Action but I have lots to share and Nays Place 1st SALE

Winter is coming to a close and we are heading into Summer - its forecast for 38 degrees C here on Saturday that's 100F for the overseas visitors in USA

As winter finished so did one lot of sport before we start with the summer sports.  Waikerie was lucky enough to have 4 teams in the local Aussie Rules Riverland Region Grand Finals, 7 teams in the Riverlands Hockeys Grand Finals and 1 team in the Riverland Netball Grand Finals - for a small country town where tradition still upholds that most things revolve around sports that is a phenomenal effort - we only have a population of approximately 3500 plus surroundings possibly 6000 people.  Most weekends see us travelling anywhere between 40kms to 180km (24 miles to 112 miles) for sport.  We walked away with 4 Premierships flags across all sports - Well Done us....

The kids are growing rapidly, the eldest now has his Learners permit, the middle starts high school in 4 months and the youngest is about to hit double digits - they are all growing so quickly sometimes so fast you miss the changes and wonder if they were every really kids.

Now Summer is coming and I get to slow down a little - I have managed to spend time on my garden and time getting Nays Place more stock yeah!!!.

Some new labels from Lilla Lotta just
U


After 4 years I have got my fruit tree orchard growing and my vegie patch planted and I'm having fun and cant wait to start picking produce - not sure that the kids have enjoyed it - being school holidays I have made them work.

Nays Place is open most Sundays - the only time I have closed is due to family occasions or when I have been sick.  I have been increasing my suppliers and are about to start ordering from some new suppliers - including Kaffe Fassett fabrics towards the end if the year.....love the brightness of his fabrics.

Saturday I will be at the Waikerie Markets with odds n sodds - no fabric bolts as these will be ready for the sale........DID I MENTION IM HAVING A SALE


So to kick start my Spring into Summer campaign - this long weekend I am having my first Sale.

Sunday 4th and Mon 5th October from 2PM - 6PM both days I will be having my sale.  

Over 100 bolts and end of bolts for $10 per metre, selected widebacks $15 per metre, Jelly Rolls $38 each, Fat Quarter bundles from $40, patterns from $8.

I will also have a lot of dressmaking fabric for $3-5 each piece - this includes fleecy, kids cottons and vintage fabrics.

There is a video of the fabrics on my facebook page, pinterest and instagram page

Visa and Mastercard facilities available as well as Cash accepted off course 

I will try and update the Facebook page as I go as well as the Big Cartel shop

Have been unpacking more and more stock - living the dream


A little bit of sewing


Thanks for dropping in and stay tuned for more

What an awesome weekend and a funtastic experience

What a difference a week makes.....

Was very honoured to be asked by Gail Pan to be the 'shop' at her 'Stitched in Time ' workshop on Saturday 1st August.  Loz and Gail did an awesome job organising the
day with  4 projects from Gail and endless food and drink organised by Loz.

The day was wet and cold and made us appreciate the heating in the hall even more.
I am so lucky to have met so many wonderful ladies involved in this wonderful world of quilting.  It was so nice to see so many of you again.

9.00 rolled into 9.30 and the ladies started coming....
coffee, tea some quick purchases and at 10 Gail began with 4 projects.
Not sure how much stitching was being  done but there was certainly a lot of catching up.

I was lucky to meet some of Nays Place Facebook friends including one from WA,the Hills,  the Brooky girls, the Roxby Girls, friends from other stitching weekends and more.  

Soon the hall looked like this....


This was the first time I have taken Nays Place on the road and leaving the comfort of my shed was a big step for me - a few anxious moments - am I packing enough, and I taking the right things, will anyone buy anything, do I need more, less etc etc.
According to my husband I did pack the kitchen sink.

.
I had an awesome day - thank you all so much for making me realise
 Nays Place can be a reality and not just a dream.

The shop set up and ready to go

My trusty help Liz and myself (My kids told me I look like where's Wally in my glasses is this where I'm suppose to say thanks kids)

The shop waiting for customers ;)

Unpacking and no this isn't fun......

Some of Gail's new fabric 'Amongst the Flower' I have ordered the range and will be creating kits for Gail's Free Quilt Pattern on the Red Rooster page

Had an awesome Sunday breakfast with these ladies - 3 1/2 hours later and I eventually went home

Yesterday I was lucky enough to attend the opening of the new redevelopment of the Recreation Centre - I have been involved with a volunteer group who have worked very hard to win some Federal and State grants to do a $1 million redevelopment including new clubrooms, new courts, new playground,new seating and new run up tracks for our long jump pits.  

This is me in my 'other work' uniform




This is what I am going to play with this weekend after my daughters Netball.  My head is spinning with ideas - using Jelly Roll strips to gather and put on a quilt.

Stay tuned I am putting together a whole heap of bolts for a $10 per meter sale -
 an 'End of Winter/ Here comes Spring/ less than 20 weeks till Christmas'

Stay tuned for more

2015 Please SLOW DOWN

Not sure if anyone else if feeling this way
I cant seem to keep up and the older 
I'm getting the quicker the days are speeding by.......

Anyone else feel like this?

So let me fill in the last 2 months
Nays Place is opening permanently on
Most Sundays from 2-6pm

The only time this will change is when we
Have family occasions and if I or a family member is sick.

Life has been busy with football, netball, work and life in general.
I am finding it hard to realise that in 6 months time no 2 is in High School....

This weekend I am a little bit excited to be relocating Nays Place to Angaston.  
I have the pleasure of being the 'shop' for Gail Pans Stitches in Time SA
 workshop at the Angaston Town Hall on Saturday 1st August.
This does mean I will be closed Sunday 2nd August as I know I will not get back and unpacked in time

I have been  buying more fabric, more notions,more threads basically more of everything 
Bundles of goodies 

Hi de Ho fabrics with Bella Solids





Jelly Rolls and more

Cottage Garden Threads


Also treated myself to a new banner to put on the roadside and at my Market Stall.



I have also been having some sewing time with my daughter Sarah.  She used one of the minke cuddle cakes and some more minke for the backing.

I will report back after this weekend and I will be posting more and more on this blog
