$10 fat quarters this weekend!

That's right ... $10 (half price) pre-cut fat quarters in the shop this weekend ~ pop in early to snap up a bargain! Get your own bit of Yardage Design handprinted fabric ~ each fat quarter is 50cm x 70cm. Make a quilt, a bag, a cushion ... I can't wait to see!

Happy sewing!

i love lamp + a surprise!

Do you like my lamp? I covered the shade myself yesterday with my new Verano Petals fabric in ink blue, which was immensely satisfying! I think the scale of this pattern works well on a lampshade, and was one of the projects I had in mind when I was designing it.

I used a kit from here, which was quite easy except for the bit where you have to attach the rings ~ I could have used an extra set of hands, but I managed to do it (slowly) by myself. I'm pretty happy with the result ~ it looks like a bought one!

I still have to make a matching one for the other bedside table in our bedroom ... slowly making things a bit more homey here with some splashes of colour (thanks Ikea) and some of my fabric.

And now for the surprise ... you can use the following discount code in the Yardage Design online shop all day today and receive 15% off your order ... enjoy!

YARDAGE

Many more creative spaces here.

Have a great day!

SALE ends tonight 9pm

Thanks so much to everyone who has visited and purchased things from my shop during this sale. I am busily packing up orders ready to be posted tomorrow. I just wanted to let you know that there are still lots of bargains (especially pre-cut fat quarters of fabric) to be found.

I also wanted to let you know that many of my homewares products will not be available again after this sale. I want to release a new range later this year. The shop will be closed from this weekend for a month or two, so now's your chance to stock up!

Thanks again,

a great year ...

This time last year, I started blogging. Not just reading and commenting anonymously, but actually writing words and seeing what came back. It's been a great year in all kinds of ways, and I am so glad that I've been able to record it in words and pictures, and share it with people who are interested. Thankyou Pam (my blogging buddy) and thank you.

While I was putting a "patchwork" of my favourite photo's from the last year together, I found my first blog header - it made me smile! Do you still have your very first blog header?

Today, I'm celebrating this little milestone by having a sale in my shop - find out all of the details here. Have a lovely day, and look forward to "chatting" with you for another year! Nic
