๐ŸŒˆ Rainbow Ramblings ๐Ÿ“–๐Ÿชฒ


Hey Reader!

Thanks to the magic of scheduling and automation, Rainbow Ramblings is arriving to your inbox while I'm off on Norfolk Island, having a whale of a time ;) I'm joining Ange of GnomeAngel and 35 other amazing quilters to sew, eat and tour our way around this island that is just a tiny dot on the map between Australia and New Zealand! I'll be headed home in a couple of days time, likely brimming full of inspiration and ideas!

However there's still plenty to share in this newsletter - starting with a lil reminder about the brand new Book Binder pattern that's now out in the wild!

If you didn't nab your copy yet, jump in now and use that special newsletter insider discount newbook to save! Be quick though, that discount ends soon!

In case you're someone who likes to see how these patterns look with other fabrics (and who doesn't!), I thought I'd share some of the amazing books that my incredible pattern tester group created!

Top left is by Kat, right by Pat. Bottom left shows all four sizes of the book, pieced by Debra and bottom right by Judy.

Aren't they all fantastic? I love the different fabrics and options they chose to create their books! When you buy the Book Binder pattern, you get the pattern to create the full quilt, PLUS the patterns to create these books in four different sizes. Create your own layout for a quilt, make a library bag, or maybe a cushion/pillow for a reading nook. So many options await! The only decision you have to make right now is to buy the pattern!

Don't forget to use that discount newbook at the checkout!


Year of Flowers

Our next flower arrives tomorrow in a Year of Flowers! The August flower is here ahead of the new month to give you time to get stitching in case you'd like to make it for any upcoming August birthdays.

The new pattern arriving brings us the beautiful Poppy!

Each month we're sewing the birth flower for that month, so that by the end of the year we have a beautiful wreath of flowers!

Join today and you'll get all the patterns released so far, no need to wait to get started!


New to the shop

I've snuck a little something brand new into the shop. Some of you may have already spotted it, but if not, this might be just the little bug you need for your next garden quilt!

This beetle bug pattern comes with two versions - a plain bug (hello fussycutting opportunity!) and a geometric version. And both versions come in a range of sizes - 5", 6", 8" and 10". So you can make the bug size that best fits your next project!


Next we speak, I'll be back on the mainland, in the studio and ready to sew! I have a bunch of fun things coming up that I can't wait to tell you about.

I hope that you're having a brilliant week and finding time to dig into you stash and sew something that makes your quilty heart sing!

Happy sewing!

P.S. Don't forget to use that discount code newbook on the Book Binder pattern!

Click here to view this email in your web browser Hey Reader! Hard to believe our little jaunt to Norfolk Island for a quilt retreat was nearly 3 weeks ago! I still haven't become accustomed to having to cook dinner every night, or not having anyone to chat to while I sew (although gosh do I get a lot more done when I'm not yapping at anyone in the vicinity!). I'm also bemoaning the fact I don't have stunning coastal backdrops for my quilt photos. I shared a couple of Moonlit Stroll last...

Click here to view this email in your web browser Hey Reader! I'm settling back into routine after our recent trip to Norfolk island. It was such a wonderful retreat, and we loved having extra tours and sightseeing mixed in to our sewing time. In fact, Ange (from GnomeAngel) and I enjoyed it so much, we're planning to do it again next year! The island is such a beautiful community - everyone waves as you pass them driving, cows have right of way, chickens wander freely, tourists are welcomed...

It has been a huge few weeks here, full of so many good things and exciting news! Both personal and quilty.Let me tell you the personal news first - it has a quilty twist. Let me set the scene. It was the night before I was flying out to Norfolk Island (for the above-mentioned retreat). It was my partner's...
