Barossa Quilt & Craft Cottage February/ March 2014 Dear Quilting Friends In my last newsletter I said to come to the cottage to see the roses before the heat of the summer. Well we have had the hottest January with the most days over 40° for 100 years. I wonder what they blamed for the heat 100 years ago! Global warming was not heard of back then. With the heat came thunderstorms & lightning which started the Eden Valley fires. Now the whole of Australia knows where Eden Valley is!. I live on the Western side of Eden Valley and lucky for me, with the wind change, the fires went north easterly, but still too close for comfort. Last week the Tour Down Under came past the Cottage twice. It was nice to hear the sirens of the police bikes, clearing the roads for the international cyclists, instead of the sirens of fire trucks, rushing to the fire fronts, that went on for days.

I love the TV series Downton Abbey and now there is a ‘Downton Abbey’ fabric range, lovely for that antique look. I stocked the Jinny Beyer Palette fabrics for many years and now I have been told that not many shops stock them. These fabrics are such great blenders with all other fabric ranges, they are so versatile, I have decided to do a Jinny Beyer ‘10th Anniversary’ Moon Glow quilt, so if you missed out last time , enroll now. It is foundation pieced and Jinny’s method is great, it uses freezer paper and makes piecing the blocks very easy. When the quilt is finished it really does glow! Most shops send their newsletters by email and as postage is going up to 70c I will be doing likewise. So if you still wish to receive this newsletter, please send your email address tome [email protected] Keep cool & see you soon! Heather & Staff

This year, in the Cottage, I am introducing a permanent ‘End of Bolt’ sale of 20% off when you buy all the fabric remaining on the bolt. We only have a few sales per year. With our 1 day April Fool’s Day SALE coming up on Tuesday April 1st. Jelly Rolls will be $40 for 1 day only. Then the first two weeks of May is our 24th Birthday Sale. WOW! 24 years, a lot has happened in my life in those years. Michael, my son was in high school and caught the bus to the front of the Cottage to come home with me and in July he will be 40. New fabrics arrive in the Cottage every month and again I need to remind you that the life of a fabric is only 6 months, so it is better to purchase half a metre rather than 30cm.You can use what is left over after making your quilt , by enrolling in a new monthly Scrap Pattern programme. A new pattern is sent to you each month for 12 months, so you can use up your stash and then buy some lovely new fabrics, like the lovely Rose fabrics that have just arrived.

Dream Green is a soft, cosy batting made 100% from recycled plastic bottles! Dream Green made in USA meets their highest standards of quality, function and performance . Your needles will glide through this unique eco-friendly batting. Finished quilt may be machine-washed and dried with little to no shrinkage. Dream Green is wrinkle-resistant. Each pound of Dream Green Batting keeps 10 plastic bottles out of our landfills. Plastic bottles are cut into chips, washed, melted and extruded into fine polyester fibres. These recycled fibres are indistinguishable from “virgin” polyester fibres yet are made without depleting our precious natural resources. To avoid additional processing they have kept the soft “natural” green bottle colour – but you can rest assured that Dream Green is colourfast & compatible to all your finest quilts and projects. Dream Green has been carded, cross-lapped and needle-punched for uniformity, strength, and resiliency. There is no scrim or resins yet you can stitch up to 12” apart! Utilizing eco-efficient recycling QuiltSavings made by using Dream Green in these sizes  Craft 46" x 36" keeps 3.5 bottles from the landfill  Crib 46" x 60" keeps 5.5 bottles from the landfill  Throw 60" x 60" keeps 7 bottles from the landfill  Twin 93" x 72" keeps 13 bottles from the landfill  Double 96" x 93" keeps 17 bottles from the landfill  Queen 108" x 93" keeps 20 bottles from the landfill  Super Queen 93" x 121" keeps 24 bottles from the landfill  King 122" x 122" keeps28 bottles from the landfill  Throw Roll 60" x 30 linear yards keeps 120 bottles from the landfill  Queen Folded Roll 93" x 30 linear yards keeps 200 bottles from the landfill  King Folded Roll 122" x 25 linear yards keeps 220 bottles from the landfill

Starting in 2014 I have a new idea for using up those fabrics you already have... a scrap fabric pattern of the month. You can sign up for a twelve month pattern collection with all of the projects using scrap fabrics. This will run the same way a block of the month runs but without the fabric. This will then clear out that cupboard for you to start collecting new fabric. The pattern of the month projects will include quilts, table runners, cushions and Christmas projects. The cost will be $18 per month (including postage). This is the first project that is available now.
