Caboolture Sewing Machines Embroidery Club

Embroidery Club is run in addition to normal Sewing Club.  We hold a Demonstration day on the 2nd Thursday of every month and then 3 (Three) Hands On sewing days throughout the month.

On the demonstration day, you will receive a demonstration and specifically any embroidery or stabilising tips necessary for you to complete the months project.  Like normal club, for those present on the day, you will receive written notes and instructions on how to complete the project.

The designs used will either be free or come at a cost of no more than $15 per month, instructions for obtaining or purchasing the designs will be in Newsletter email.  For those with no email address we are happy to assist by providing the design (upon request) by Disk or your provided medium at a cost of $5.

The Hands On sewing days are FREE and will be a FULL DAY session (due to time required to complete embroidery and project) – however due to the complexity and space required for embroidery machines, you MUST BOOK to come to these sewing days.  Like normal Sewing Club, your requirements for the hands on days will be available to download from our website or you can collect in store the month prior.

Embroidery Club membership is covered in your normal Club Membership fees of $45 per year.  However if you do not feel that you wish to come to every month, then you are welcome to come as a non-member for $15 per visit.

Hello, it’s been a while, but here is the Latest News from Lily Lane.

New fabrics arrive almost every week at Lily Lane.

To name a few of the latest arrivals…

Garden Party from Moda,

the most realistic Elephants you will see,

and a pretty and modern range called Marabella.

We now offer pre cut packs of “Fabulous Five” for quick and easy quilts. Take home a pack, sew it up in a day. All cutting is done, colours are chosen for you. All you need to add is a border if you would like one, some wadding and backing. We can cut any five fabrics you choose into this layout. The 30 blocks make a queen size topper, or you could make two quilts by dividing up the blocks and adding borders. Keep checking back the Fabric/PreCuts page for more colourways which I’ll post as I cut new ones.

A “Westalee” ruler demonstration is being held at Lily Lane on May 11th at 10-30 am. Please ring the shop 03 51 992 777 or email me to reserve your place. If you have any of these rulers and would like to know more about using them, or if you just want to see how they work this will be a good way to spend your morning on May 11th.

You can join our block of the month programs at any time, there is a very flexible starting date schedule at Lily Lane. Playing with angels is a gorgeous block of the month from Kookaburra Cottage. You can also see it in the picture gallery along with some other pics.

If you are coming to the shop I have a big pile of fabrics going out at $10 per metre. The little shop is getting a bit crammed, so you get the bargains!

Until next time, Happy sewing

Jennifer
