I have so much to pack for you to see, touch & buy & only a week to get it all ready to go in our huge trailer to Adelaide.
There will be new books, rulers & gadgets to explore at Festival. Some will only be arriving on the eve of opening, so I won’t be able to get them on my website until we are home again.
I will be taking a small selection of the larger Beba’s cutting mats down with me BUT if you would like to pre-order/purchase, then I can ensure that there is one there with your name on it to collect & save on all that postage.
Beba's Cutting Boards – The fine quality of Beba's Cutting Boards is the result of years of testing and are superior to others in many ways. It will withstand the hot sun or the cold winters . It will not warp or crack after exposure to severe temperature change!
These cutting boards can be rolled up for easy storage, put in the trunk of your car and under normal room temperature, the "memory" will allow the mat to relax and return to its original flat state. Pin patterns and fabrics to the cutting board to prevent slippage or crawling as you cut. The red 1" grid lines extend an inch beyond the numbers for reference points when fabric is covering the centre portion of the board.
These mats come in 7 sizes including those made for Long arm tables that are 10ft & 12ft long.
SPECIAL Price for rolls of Hobbs Batting for pickup at AMQ Festival only. This is for full rolls that are pre-ordered only.
New books to drool over! All with a similar theme of course…
