if you are near NYC anytime up to september 13 this sounds like a place worth visiting.
here’s what Paula had to say about it:
Today I did something really cool that involved a day off work mid-week, a trip to New York City, lots of quilting inspiration, and I met three bona fide quilting celebrities! What an adventure!

April Fools Joke?
Kylie just received a frantic call a moment ago from one of our dedicated staff members. Frantic in that she heard a rumour we were closing down on Monday and were starting a 35% off sale! Fair enuff to be frantic. Apparently a fax was being distributed with this information on it.
Pretty funny stuff!! No we are not closing down and also, no we are not having a 35% off sale. We will of course be...
tonnes of new fabric
The shop is quite literally overflowing with new fabric. Plenty of orders from the previous trade shows are starting to hit the shop and Kylie and the girls have been flat out getting them on the shelves.
I have been trying to nab Kylie so that we can finish off the schedule of events for next term and will get these emailed/mailed to you all as soon as they are finalised.
Plenty of exciting...

We are planning to create a webpage which displays an online patchwork quilt that all can contribute to. The purpose of this quilt is to provide an online “shrine” for those affected by the bushfires to visit and be at peace knowing that there are many people thinking of them. Alternately is a direct and free portal for those directly affected to express themselves.

update from yackandandah
I am delighted to advise that we have just received word from Susan Campbell that they are well and are experiencing cooler weather at the moment. The fires appear to have eased somewhat although they are still very much aware of how quickly these things can change.
Susan was most appreciative of all your well wishes and we just hope that things continue to ease and they can get back to business...
