I know we
are all bombarded with lengthy newsletter and shop updates so I have
decided to send out short regular newsletter advising you of the latest
additions to our web site. I had hoped that I could send this email to
you with all of the new products on the web site but unfortunately not
all are listed at the present time. My husband John is now my web designer and is working hard to get all information on the web site. He is also working towards installing a search engine and shopping facilities in the coming months. |

| Following the success of the
Partners of Veterans Exhibition in Canberra I am delighted to inform
you that our exhibition has been selected by Expertise Events to be the
major touring exhibition for 2007. This collection of 47 quilts will be
exhibited at every quilt show in Australia and Hamilton NZ. It is
interesting to know that 90% of the participants are non- quilters
while 50% of the participants have never sewn before! This exhibition
is a credit to these women. Margaret Rehorn and I will share the responsibility of travelling and setting up the exhibitions. I hope to meet some of you at the exhibitions. (A word of warning- every quilt has a story from the quilt maker attached, take the time to read each one, but bring along your tissues, they are heart moving.) Happy sewing, Maree |
Groups—don’t forget to let me know when you are having an exhibition or would like to advertise your group. My web site is available to you free to include any information you wish in the “Groups” section.
