Darvanalee Designs Quilting Service
and Singer Sewing Machines
Monthly Newsletter February 2015
Wow a Month has already past...time definitely
Flies when you are having fun…
we have had a fabulous start to the year
we started out Block of the Month, Farmer’s Wife Quilt-a-long
and the Mystery Quilt Club in January...and we are looking forward to
getting more done again this month
along with another little sewing project and
DD’s Bag club starts this month too
As some of you may know I have for some
time now wanted to dip my creative toes into
the world of Bag and purse making…
Well this past weekend I was able to do this
with a great bunch of amazingly creative women …
We spent all weekend sewing up a storm
I was lucky enough to meet Designer Janelle Mackay
from Emmaline Bags...we learnt a lot of tips and tricks
for her wonderful NCW
Janelle had us all sewing up a storm on Saturday we all
made a Cathedral Window Pincushion (I will be showing you this in DD’s Craft Club)
a Snappy purse
and a Coin purse (i have yet to Finish)
she also had a surprise project
and a newly designed
toiletries bag Called the Retreat ( I hope that is right Janelle)
it was sewwwww much fun…
I don’t get to do things like this often
But I am glad that I did… “)
Now lets get down to business
as you Know we have started up a few
different clubs this year and we have an
Important Notice
One of them was the Machine Embroidery Club
Unfortunately we have had to cancelled this Club…
for now anyway... we will look at it again in a few months
But all other Classes and Clubs are in full swing and we
still have some spots available for them
so give me a call and we can book you in
Get in Early as they are filling Fast
What’s New
As some of you may or may not know I have been
looking at expanding my knowledge in
Crochet and Bag Making ..and I must say I love it
but have found it difficult to find some
of the different yarns and Bag accessories that they
use in some of the patterns online
and even harder to the supplies I need
here in Kingaroy or even Australia
… I have decided to step up the
yarn section of our store along with the Bag accessories…
and the Stabilizers that are used in bag making process…
some of the brands that I will be looking at
are as follows ...Pellon and Vilene along
with Legacy...As some of these
products will be coming in from the USA
it will take a little time
But watch this space for more details
