Visiting my LQS

Honeysuckle Patchwork

This place is like my home away from home. :o)


Lily knows exactly where the toy baskets are kept and likes to play
hide an seek with Nicky, oh and am I in trouble if we call in and Nicky isn't there!

I am so spoiled for choice as Nicky stocks the full range of Cottage Garden Threads.
If you love the Cottage Garden Threads as much as me you might be interested in the new....


Of course I have signed up with Nicky so I just have to share it with you.
I'm always happy to enable the growth of your CGT Collection :o)


If your interested in joining in feel free to email, phone or call in and see Nicky.
Threads can be posted if your not local.

Also, do you remember this?


I made it at Honeysuckle under the guidance of Nicky this year and in 2014 Nicky is offering the
 Mariners Compass Class.

How lucky am I that she is a Certified Instructior / Shop for the Quiltworx Patterns.
Oh and you just know where I am going here don't you :o)

So what version/colour combo do you think I should go for?



I am drawn to the Rainbow ones but these two orange version are speaking very loudly to me.
Class doesn't start until term one so guess I should print off a few pattern sheets and grab out the pencils and have a play :o)  You could always come and play along for this one too if your in the area.

So how does your LQS inspire you?

Please note that is not a sponsored post.
 It's just me sharing the impending growth of my CGT Collection 
and a new project for 2014.  Also sharing the great customer service
that I get at my LQS.  We all need to support our Local Quilting Stores
and when you have a great one it's only fair that you share with your friends :o)

hugs Sharon

  4. Love the blue/brown colourway on the one second row right, but also the rainbow one third row left. They are awesome quilts - would scare me witless. I know my limitations and I would not have the perseverance to complete it, even though I might have the skill. As for LQS not many around here, so I often have to travel to Sydney, but I generally go to different ones for different things. Logans Patchwork in Leichhardt has a fabulous range of novelty & Australiana fabrics. Quiltsmith in Annandale is THE place for both Civil War & 1930s Reproduction fabrics, and an awesome range of Japanese fabrics. Patchwork Products in Rydalmere has an enormous range of good quality discounted fabrics, so I often go there first if I am starting a new quilt. Craft Depot at Pennant Hills does amazing sales where they discount everything, and carry a really large range of different fabrics. So there you go. They are all inspiring in their different ways.

  5. They are ALL wonderful but my eye goes to 2nd last... and like you, I picked an orange based one! You'll have lots of FuN with the making of this quilt no matter which one you choose I'm sure! :)
