Breast Cancer Research Fundraiser

Earlier this year both Helen & I were honoured & thrilled to be asked to be the designers of two beautiful quilts and assist in raising money and awareness for Breast Cancer Research. Below are 2 photos of the quilts. There is also a poster available from here which is being circulated everywhere in the hope that you can print it out and display it prominently to advertise the upcoming ebay auction of these two glorious quilts. Click on the photos & you will be taken to a high resolution pdf that you can print on your home colour printer with professional results. We thankyou for your assistance in this fundraiser!


The auction starts on Nov 1st on http://www.ebay.com.au/

For more details & hopefully a direct link to the auction when it starts visit http://www.completecraft.com.au/

These are using the Northcott/Monarch range of Quest for a Cure fabrics and the instructions have been published in Homespun & Quilters Companion magazine here in Australia. Many shops are providing these as kits with part proceeds of sales of fabrics going to Breast Cancer Research!
We are very pleased with the results and hope that you can help us out by letting everyone know about the auction and passing on the poster to assist in advertising!

cheers from a sunny day in South Australia where we are just starting to harvest our crops!

What I've been up to....

Hi all!

I’ve been very quiet lately with head down & bum on seat trying to juggle all my work to keep everyone happy. Not sure if I’ve totally succeeded with quilting mounting up to be done to deadlines!

Anyway, thought I would share at least one thing that I’ve been working on and achieved……My first E-book in conjunction with my sister, Helen Stubbings who is my partner in Wysistas!

This is a 6 part e-book that is FREE by simply subscribing to it via our website http://www.wysistas.com

I have been madly working on this and the new Downloadable Quizzles® that are now available on the site – boy what a drama learning how to do all this! Thank goodness for good help is all I can say VBG.

This has all come about due to our Quizzles® -Interactive Quilt Patterns on CDRom being reviewed by Alex & Ricky on www.thequiltshow.com that went to air this week! We are so excited and thrilled that they chose our patterns to review and demonstrate on their show that we decided to create the book as a thank you to all those that visited our site to see more.

So now, if you want to learn more, you can play with a Quizzle Trial right on the website to see what they are all about. They are intended for everyone, but aimed at new, beginner quilters with very detailed instructions and diagrams to assist them to create more quilt tops for us machine quilters to have to quilt LOL….(I sure have an ulterior motive here don’t I)

We are so pleased with the wonderful response already this week that I just had to share with a few more thousand friends’ right here….

Cheers from warm & sunny South Australia where our crops are almost ready to harvest.
