Pioneer Patchwork at Campbelltown Patchwork and Quilters Guild

I was invited to give a presentation to the Campbelltown Patchwork and Quilters Guild at their April meeting. The ladies got a preview of our new Block of the month program (which is a Christmas project, because I love Christmas) and the response was fabulous. I had the chance to present our upcoming classes, workshops, kits and patterns. It is always exciting to present to a group of like-minded ladies (and Paul). A big thank you to Vicki and Julie for accompanying me and helping with the presentation and sales table.

Thank you to the lovely ladies at the Campbelltown Guild for the invitation, it is always a pleasure!

First ever sneak peak at the new BOM


New fabric - Amelia from Andover Fabrics

Have a look at these beautiful new fabrics from the range 'Amelia' by Jo Morton, distributed by Andover fabrics. It's a bit pretty and a bit retro, so it's a great choice for a variety of projects.
Fat quarters and yardage is available. At the shop - of course

New Block of the month program

Our new Block of the month program is taking shape!
A little different to the previous programs it is not an actual block of the month, it is a row of the month, and because I love Christmas, it is a Christmas project.
Stars, Santa hats, Stockings, Reindeers, oh so cute......
And because it is only a 6 months program, you could have it completed just in time :-) 

Stay tuned for some sneak peaks.........

*new* Tea Towel Fabric

Tea Towels, Tea Towels, Tea Towels, who doesn't love them!?
Well, we here at Pioneer Patchwork are now stocking tea towel fabric in two great colors; Red & Cream that can be made into place mats as well! By adding a little embroidery of your own onto it or your favorite fabric swatches you can spruce them up a bit and personalize them. See below some examples we have put together, or come into the shop and take a look. Keep your eye out as we have some kits coming soon too! Happy sewing girls x
