Michelle Yeo Classes

Michelle is back to teach at Quiltsmith on the 30th & 31st July and the 1st August. Michelle is a very popular teacher in Melbourne and we are pleased to welcome her back.

On Friday the 30th July we are offering the Giant Dahlia quilt. 

There are three versions of this classic pattern for you to choose from to make a 60" square Dahlia block. The variations achieved by colour placement, in this quilt, are only limited by your imagination. You can extend the size of the quilt with various borders. This is a stunner.

Michelle will also be selling acrylic templates at the workshop (these are not required to make the quilt).

Cost for the full day is $90.00 and the workshop runs from 10am to 3pm.

On Saturday the 31st July and Sunday the 1st August we are offering Ballaarat Beauties. 

This quilt is inspired by a number of circular patchwork designs from years gone by. Ballaarat Beauties consists of elements from antique quilts such as New York Beauty, Whig's Defeat, Georgetown Circle, Mariner's Compass and Sunburst, as well as many original designs. There are 36 blocks, each of which comprises a pieced quarter circle set into an 8" square. The squares are then straight-set together and the blocks can be laid out to form complete circles or twisted to create different effects. The sample is made from reproduction fabrics, however this quilt would look equally stunning in bright colours or more contemporary fabrics. It is machine  foundation pieced for speed and accuracy or could be pieced by entirely by hand. Size 64" square.

 
Cost for the two full days is $210.00 (includes pattern cost of $30.00) and the workshop runs from 10am to 3pm on both days.


Please call the shop on 9550 4947 to book into one or both of these workshops. We also offer a 10% discount on purchases on the day of the workshop.

Welcome to Quiltsmith's new blog

Hello Everyone

We have joined the blogging community and look forward to keeping you up-to-date with everything that's happening here in the shop.

After much thought, we have decided not to attend the Darling Harbour Quilt show this year. We decided that the store is much better showcased in the shop itself, and you can buy more than just Fat Quarters.

Having said that, we will miss all our out-of-town customers, so to entice you all to visit the shop, we are having a 20% off sale of our fabrics. We will also be having mystery spot specials in-store each day. The 20% off applies to on-line orders as well.

If you don't know where we are, the shop's address is 75 Nelson Street Annandale. We are the closet quilt shop to Darling harbour , just a 15 minute bus ride or 10 minute taxi ride from the Show. If you need directions, please call us on 9550 4947.

The sale will start Tuesday 15 June and run until Sunday 20 June. Yes we are open this special
Sunday. Our Sunday hours are 10 am until 3. See you all here.

To wet your appetite, here is a sneek peek at the new Bread & Butter range by Kaye England. In store now, it will be on the web-site shortly.
