Hello again.....

Finally I am able to e mail again...I have been having terrible problems.... Hopefully they have been sorted now and all will be fine.


I have just started my Raggedy Needle Turn Applique club. I am running this club through a Yahoo group. It costs $15 to join and $5.50 per pattern. There will be one paid pattern each month and free patterns as well.


Please click on this link and join the group if you would like to be in the club..... It will be a lot of fun and there will be give aways as well..... This is the first Raggedy we will applique.

Each month we will have a cute Raggedy to applique and there will also be smaller things to do as well. This will be our first freebie pattern....
The idea is that there will be 12 Raggedy patterns and as many smaller free patterns and at the end of the time you will be able to make a lovely quilt or many smaller projects.

By holding this club in a Yahoo group we will all be able to learn from each other. We will all get to read and see what everyone is doing. You will learn how to do needle turn applique if you cannot do it already. Feel free to use which ever method you feel most comfortable with. Also you will learn how to embellish and paint the faces. These same faces can be painted onto your dolls as well....

This will be a lot of fun... so please e mail me if you would like to join. Australian members can pay by direct deposit or Pay Pal if wishing to pay by credit card. All overseas customers to pay by Pay Pal..... All prices are in Australia dollars......

Come on and join up we look forward to getting to know you all....

The threads will be available in the next week... I will post as soon as they arrive.... I have a good special on them as well......

Happy stitching 


Needle turn applique club.....

I am about to start a needle turn applique club. It will be $15 AUD to join and $5.50 AUD per month for the applique pattern... plus there will also be some free patterns as well... In all there will be 12 cute Raggedy patterns that we will be making. I am new to needle turn and will also be learning from you as well... I will run this club through a Yahoo group and that way we will be able to chat back and forth amongst ourselves and help each other along the way. 


Overseas members will be able to pay by Pay Pal and Aussie members will have Pay Pal if they would like to pay by credit card and direct deposit if they would like to pay by cash. 


Each month you will receive the Raggedy applique e pattern for that month and we will then proceed to do the applique... I will teach you to paint the faces and embellish your piece. At the end you may choose to make a quilt using the 12 Raggedies and all the other smaller pieces.. or you may choose to make many smaller projects along the way.


Here are a couple of samples of the type of Raggedy we will be appliquéing.
 

As you can see these are very cute and you will agree they will make lovely items. If you choose to make a quilt we will all be able to learn and see how you plan on joining the blocks together. I am sure this will be a fun group and you will be very happy with the blocks that we will be making. There will be the 12 Raggedies and then for free there will be smaller blocks of their toys etc....

So if you would like to join.. please e mail me ... The club will start in a few weeks time. You do not need to be a needle turn applique expert to join this club... beginners most welcome and the experienced needle turn appliquers will enjoy the quirky designs as well......

Hoping to hear from you...
