I’m pleased to announce that I have secured the most amazing Binding Miter Tool from Jackie Robinson of Animas Quilts in the USA this week. Over 17 years ago I met Jackie online just after we got our first computer & connected to dial up internet. Amazingly, she & her husband were about to embark on a trip to Australia & just happened to be passing by our farm. So of course I invited them to stay here. That was the start of a great friendship. At that time she gave me one of her Binding Miter Tools & I have used it ever since.
After again demonstrating to a customer on how to achieve perfect mitres on both their 90deg corners as well as on a hexagon quilt I finally decided that I just had get some of these so that all Aussies can see just how easy it can be to achieve amazing results!

This is another item that I have been using for about a year now. I first saw Jenny Doan using it from Missouri Star Quilt Co. & she raved over this when we hosted her at AMQ Festival in 2014, so thought that I might just ‘need’ this new iron. As it turns out I truly do love it! The power of the steam is simply amazing & has made such a different when doing lots of piecing.

I’d also like to give a big shout out to the Renmark Evening Star Quilters!
They are hosting a magnificent day on the 19th March in Renmark for
International Quilting Day. If you are attending this event (I understand there
are over 200 quilters going) then you are in for a real treat with their
program.I am bringing my shop with me & will also be speaking on my journey in my business as well as expanding on learning opportunities available at the Australian Machine Quilting Festival in August held in Adelaide. 92 classes from 22 amazing International & National expert teachers.
If anyone wants me to bring anything special along then please let me know via email & I can put it on the ‘to pack’ list!
It would certainly save lots of $$ for heavy items like the cutting mats, irons & rulers!
Don’t forget that there is a 40% discount on all rulers currently as well. Simply enter ‘ruler clearance’ in the coupon code box & it will automatically adjust the prices.
Until next time… happy quilting!
Tracey
