Happy New Year –

Dear Quilters,
Its great to be back to a regular routine again having enjoyed the Christmas/New Year break. I hope you had a nice holiday as well.
We have some really exciting new classes planned for 2012 and some of you may have already enjoyed trying our first ever “Summer Sew-In” where you come for a whole weekend and sew and chat while we help you with expert tips and serve you meals and we all have a fun time together. If you missed it, don’t panic, as we will be having another “Summer Sew-In” on 10th & 11th of March, but be quick to book as we have already got half the class booked!
We are trying to mix things up this year with quilting classes and also some extra helpful one-offs like “how to make a board bag” to carry all your quilting tools and how to hand embroider or machine embroider, plus lots of other helpful “know-how” days that we have in store for 2012. If there is anything you ever wondered how to do or make, please drop us an email and we can let you know if or when we are running a class.
Don’t forget to check out our website for inspiration on projects or to order fabrics, patterns or notions. We have some great deals on our top quality Janome Sewing Machines and offer a wonderful customer back up service. www.quiltworks.co.nz
We look forward to helping you. Kind regards, Raewyn.
