New fabrics arrive in the Cottage every month and again I need to remind you that the life of a fabric is only 6 months, so it is better to purchase half a metre rather than 30cm.You can use what is left over after making your quilt , by enrolling in a new monthly Scrap Pattern programme. A new pattern is sent to you each month for 12 months, so you can use up your stash and then buy some lovely new fabrics, like the lovely Rose fabrics that have just arrived. I love the TV series Downton Abbey and now there is a ‘Downton Abbey’ fabric range, lovely for that antique look. I stocked the Jinny Beyer Palette fabrics for many years and now I have been told that not many shops stock them. These fabrics are such great blenders with all other fabric ranges, they are so versatile, I have decided to do a Jinny Beyer ‘10th Anniversary’ Moon Glow quilt, so if you missed out last time , enroll now. It is foundation pieced and Jinny’s method is great, it uses freezer paper and makes piecing the blocks very easy. When the quilt is finished it really does glow! Most shops send their newsletters by email and as postage is going up to 70c I will be doing likewise.

Dear Quilting Friends
In my last newsletter I said to come to the cottage to see the roses before the heat of the summer. Well we have had the hottest January with the most days over 40° for 100 years. I wonder what they blamed for the heat 100 years ago! Global warming was not heard of back then. With the heat came thunderstorms & lightning which started the Eden Valley fires. Now the whole of Australia knows where Eden Valley is!. I live on the Western side of Eden Valley and lucky for me, with the wind change, the fires went north easterly, but still too close for comfort.
Last week the Tour Down Under came past the Cottage twice. It was nice to hear the sirens of the police bikes, clearing the roads for the international cyclists, instead of the sirens of fire trucks, rushing to the fire fronts, that went on for days.
This year, in the Cottage, I am introducing a permanent ‘End of Bolt’ sale of 20% off when you buy all the fabric remaining on the bolt.
We only have a few sales per year. With our 1 day April Fool’s Day SALE coming up on Tuesday April 1st. Jelly Rolls will be $40 for 1 day only. Then the first two weeks of May is our 24th Birthday Sale. WOW! 24 years, a lot has happened in my life in those years. Michael, my son was in high school and caught the bus to the front of the Cottage to come home with me and in July he will be 40.
New fabrics arrive in the Cottage every month and again I need to remind you that the life of a fabric is only 6 months, so it is better to purchase half a metre rather than 30cm.You can use what is left over after making your quilt , by enrolling in a new monthly Scrap Pattern programme. A new pattern is sent to you each month for 12 months, so you can use up your stash and then buy some lovely new fabrics, like the lovely Rose fabrics that have just arrived.
I love the TV series Downton Abbey and now there is a ‘Downton Abbey’ fabric range, lovely for that antique look.

TUNA PATE I tasted this at a gathering in Waikerie on a house boat on a glorious day in January and the hostess, Joy gave
everyone the recipe.
Mix altogether:- 1large can Tuna in Brine 4 tablespoons lemon juice 1 large onion (grated or chopped finely) 1/2 cup mayonnaise 1cup cream 1tablespoon finely chopped parsley
Then mix the following together:- 1cup hot water (less if brine from tuna is used) 2-3 heaped tablespoons gelatine 2chicken cubes or 1 tablespoon chicken stock powder Add to Tuna mixture, and pour into a mould which has been well oiled or sprayed with oil. Set in refrigerator for 2-3 hours. Un-mould, serve and enjoy with dry biscuits and a crisp

Dream Green is a soft, cosy batting made 100% from recycled plastic bottles!
Dream Green made in USA meets their highest standards of quality, function and
performance . Your needles will glide through this unique eco-friendly batting.
Finished quilt may be machine-washed and dried with little to no shrinkage. Dream
Green is wrinkle-resistant.
Each pound of Dream Green Batting keeps 10 plastic bottles out of our landfills.
Plastic bottles are cut into chips, washed, melted and extruded into fine polyester fibres. These recycled
fibres are indistinguishable from “virgin” polyester fibres yet are made without depleting our precious
natural resources. To avoid additional processing they have kept the soft “natural” green bottle colour –
but you can rest assured that Dream Green is colourfast & compatible to all your finest quilts and pro-
jects.
Dream Green has been carded, cross-lapped and needle-punched for uniformity, strength, and resilien-
cy. There is no scrim or resins yet you can stitch up to 12” apart! Utilizing eco-efficient recycling Quilt-
Savings made by using Dream Green in these sizes

thread, fabrics for sashing and postage.
Scandinavian Rose
Pattern 2 with a sample of the blue fabrics used for the
piecing of the border.
Starting in 2014 I have a new idea for using up those fab-
rics you already have... a scrap fabric pattern of the month.
You can sign up for a twelve month pattern collection with
all of the projects using scrap fabrics. This will run the
same way a block of the month runs but without the fabric.
This will then clear out that cupboard for you to
start collecting new fabric.
The pattern of the month projects will include quilts, table
runners, cushions and Christmas projects. The cost will be
$18 per month (including postage).
This is the first project that is available now.
MOONGLOW
uses only Jinny Beyer
Palette fabrics
10 months
@ $50 per month

A fun quilt that your children will adore and enjoy learning. Finished size 43” x 49”.

Includes fabric for the top, borders , binding and backing.
