What a wonderful weekend we all had at Fignberry creations Gathering! I am so lucky to be involved in these events and thank Lisa for all the work that goes on behind the scenes to make these days so lovely. A special thanks to Sheryl for all she does to help the days come together. It’s also fun being able to enjoy the weekend with Patchwork with Gail B. Thanks to every one of you who came and supported all our small businesses, we all are so grateful & humbled by your lovely words & encouragement, it makes designing new things so much fun. I’ve shared pictures of my 2 projects and some of my display. A cute pillow or it could be made into a pouch & a hand pieced table runner using on Instagram stamps. Patterns will be added to my shop sometime this week. Looking forward to catching up with you all at the next event! 🪡🧵💗

A wonderful day spent at Anne & Betty’s A Stitch in Time event on Sunday. Thank you to Anne, Betty, Brittany & Co for the invite & hosting such a lovely event. Thanks to all the ladies who kept me busy & support our small businesses. Loved seeing your works in progress & some stunning show & tell. An event not to be missed. It was nice to release my newest design in the new Liberty Miffy fabrics, Library Tote Bag. Will be on my website later this week along with a few other designs to still be added on. Some photos courtesy of Anne & Betty’s post. 💗🍰

While it’s sad that Tranquility Crafts 'N Supplies is closing its doors I wish Joanne all the best for her next chapter. This is a great opportunity to pick up some amazing patterns, fabrics & bits & pieces for her final sale this week from Thursday 21st to 24th May, and to wish her well. 💕

Looking for something to do on the weekend of 30 & 31 May, why not have a fun day out with the Seabreeze Quilters.

Treat yourself — or someone special — to a wonderful day out at our Mardi-BRA Event on 30 & 31 May. Each day will feature fantastic traders to help you build your stash, including:
The Quilting Bug with Nat
These Clever Hands with Jo
Serenity Glen Patchworx with Glenne
After collecting your gift bag and enjoying some shopping, take time to explore our exhibition of beautifully decorated bras and admire the display of patchwork blocks created by local patchworkers. These blocks will later be sewn into quilts for members of a local breast cancer support group.
You can then visit one or more of the crafting tables and create projects using the many kits included in your gift bag. Along the way, there will be games to enjoy and raffle tickets available to purchase. To finish your day, relax with a delicious Devonshire Tea before heading home.
To book your tickets, follow this link: https://www.trybooking.com/DKQBU
We look forward to sharing this special event with you!

P.S. We will also be hosting the amazing Tania Tanti on Sunday 31 May for a special Trunk Show!!

Just sharing Chrissie’s post, now that her old page no longer exists, so you can keep up with what mischievous things she is up to!

Hello Lovelies 🥰

I have a (HUGE) little favour to ask of you All?😃

Can you please share this post far and wide. 🙏

As some of you are aware my Chrissie’s Timeless Treasures page was in jail & restricted & still to this day I don’t know why. However it has now been completely removed and no amount of pleading would reinstate it as you are talking to a robot & not a human.

Anyhow I started my Chrissie’s Beautiful Ballan page and invite you All to join me here. 😍
I’ve changed my Instagram page to the same name too.

I look forward to sharing my work, outings & shopping with you All too. 🥰

Thank You 🙏
Chrissie 🥰

The 20th anniversary of the AQC is currently on in Melbourne at the gorgeous Royal Exhibition Building. A lovely way to spend the day, a gorgeous quilt display of which some of my favourites & winners are in the photos. A few little purchases had to come home with me too! Nice to catch up & enjoy the company of such talented designers, makers, shop owners & friends. A must see, I hadn’t been in a few years, new shops & lots of loveliness to buy. 💗
