Katipatch Catchup Issue 13 - 18th January 2007

Dear patchworkers,

Happy 2007! A new year means lots of new things to sew and create, so we’re here to help you.

We’ve just had a large shipment of new fabrics arrive, including panels, batiks and the always popular pansies. Call into the shop sometime to browse through them all.

We have classes planned for the next couple of months, so take a look and see if there is something you would be interested in. Let us know by return e-mail  info@katipatch.co.nz  or a phone call 07 549 5900 if you would like to register your interest. Our website  www.katipatch.co.nz  lists these classes and all the relevant info as well, including a photo. All day workshops include lunch in the cost.

"   Beginners Sampler Quilt   Tues 13th Feb - 17th April   9.30 – 11.30am   $120 plus requirements.  Learn a different technique each week as you make the blocks for your quilt top. This is the right place to get started, or get tips on making your patchwork turn out the way it’s meant to.

"   Finishing Touch – Bindings class with Meryl Caudwell   Thurs 26^th April   9.30 – 3.30   $65 includes a kit.   This is the class to attend to learn a variety of ways to finish off your quilt. Meryl ran this class at Symposium.

For those of you who are new to receiving the Katipatch Catchup, you may not be aware of our Friday Friends day, when you may come along any Friday, any time from 9am onwards and work on whatever you wish. The cost of Friday Friends will be $10 as from Jan 26^th.

On Sat 17^th Feb we are running our Trash & Treasure day for any craft sales. There is limited space available so you will need to get in quick to book a space. A full table costs $10, or $5 a half table. If you don’t have anything to sell, please come along to browse – you may just find the exact thing you’ve been searching for! Don’t forget to tell your friends. 9am onwards.

We have attached a survey form to this e-mail which we would like you to fill in and return to us, if you feel so inclined. If you wish to do this anonymously, by dropping in the post, please feel free to do so. Our aim is to provide you with the best service we can provide, and we need to know just what it is you require, to be able to do that.

 Every child should feel the love that is shared by a handmade quilt.
