Hettie's Patch

Granny Smith's Pin Cushion Kit and/or Pattern

This 7.5" square pin cushion is ideal for the busy sewer.  It has easy to grab tabs on the side.

It is made using apple core papers for the top.

The kits are available in two colourways and are priced at $24.95. Pattern only is $9.

Kits include apple core papers, 20 x 5" fabric squares, linen for background and backing, parlan (stabiliser) and pattern.

The one pictured is using Rouenneries Deux (Jelly Rolls, Layer cakes and Charm packs are available now - yardage is available in January).  The other sample uses Park Avenue (blue, red and beige).  It would make a fabulous Christmas gift, either made up or in kit form.  I really enjoyed making this with its combination  of hand and machine sewing.

 

Garden Trellis Quilt

This gorgeous quilt was designed by Lauren & Jessie Jung and is called Garden Trellis.  They have used their own fabric range by Moda called 'Flora'.  It is made from one layer cake plus border fabric.

I have made up this quilt as a sample and it is displayed in the shop with a different border fabric.

I have one kit left using the border fabric in the photo and more kits using a different border (see my online shop for a picture).

The kit cost including the border, sashing and binding is $97

Layer cakes only are $43.00

 

'Lark', by Amy Butler

This new range is rich , vibrant, and slightly eccentric.

There are two different palettes, 'Glamour' has the turquoise, yellows, and a touch of manderin. 'Dreamer' has the blues, and persimmon colours.

Whether it is quilting, clothing, or handbags, if you like Amy Butler and her patterns, you'll love this range.

The whole range arrived in the shop on Friday, and the fabric is $23.00 per metre.

 

'Athill Range', by Cabbages & Roses

The new range by Cabbages & Roses is currently available in Charm Squares, $14.50, Jelly Rolls & Layer Cakes, $43.00, and Fat Eigth bundles (34 cuts), $78.00. 

Morris & Company

Just arrived is the full range of Morris & Company -  a fabric range by Barbara Brackman for Moda at $21 per metre.

It is stunning..............so........to make room for this range (and also the new Michelle Hill range is due soon) I am putting all existing stock of William Morris fabric into the sale room at $12 per metre - perfect for backing your William Morris quilt.

Come in to see this new range...........you will love it.

 

Blueberry Crumb Cake

This beautifully blue, brown and white fabric range by Blackbird Designs came into the shop today. We are a bit smitten. We have the full range, and it's $22 per metre.

We did have a very busy time, but it was fun. Aren't the Cabbages and Roses linen aprons nice? Must write up that pattern!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The fabric roses were a bit of a hit. 3 x 25cm strips folded into roses, and then wrapped in paper. The book shows 8 patterns for fabric slippers (using 25cm strips), just a lovely gift.

Back from the Craft Fair

Well!!!!!!!!

The Craft Fair is over and hopefully some normality returns to our lives.  The staff at Hettie's has been very busy for a couple of months now preparing for the Adelaide Craft Fair.  The Fair weekend turned out well and kept us busy.  We had fun and said hello to lots of our customers.  The plan now is to concentrate on providing a better online presence, so..............tomorrow I will post photos of the new quilts and projects launched at the fair.
