Where has this year gone?

I can't believe how fast this year has gone by. This weekend will be the Quilt and Craft Show, trade only at Rosehill in Sydney, if you can make it it is well worth the trip.

This Thursday and Friday the XLN warehouse is also open for its annual sale, please note this is trade account sales only, it is a great opportunity to stock up at some fantastic prices.

I am in the process of loading all the new ranges on and hope to do this within the next few days.

I look forward to see you at the show.

Happy Quilting.
