I was in my favourite material store and mentioned the quilt police, the lady standing in line next to me asked me if my name was Melita, when I said yes she said she was earthwalker from the quilting board, how was that for a suprise so we had a little chat and had to go our seperate ways, but what a lovely suprise,

I live in Casuarina (near kwinana or rockingham) I havent been to a textile traders for a while so might check them out. I usually shop at Spotlight but would like to go to Midland as have seen a big quilting shop advertised but just never seem to have the time. Nice to talk to someone local!!

franie 08-04-2010 08:23 PM

Cool!

earthwalker 08-04-2010 08:32 PM

It was lovely to meet "Litacats" yesterday...I had been reading the post about "have you met anyone from the board" and thought "Yeah, right, that's never going to happen" and amazingly it did!

Blahel, Textile Traders in Midland is one of the friendliest stores...staff are really lively and they have some pretty good bargains most of the time. Spotlight in Cannington is my next favourite, they seem to have a slightly more interesting range than some other stores. I haven't yet checked out the quilting store (I know the one you mean), but hope to in the next week or so, will let you know if it's worth the petrol money!

litacats 08-04-2010 09:17 PM

I went into the quilting store yesterday wow did they have some stuff, thay had finished quilts everwhere with the kits to buy to make your own, and quilting machines and a quilting table It brings the song to mind IF I WERE A RICH MAN, Oh I could have had some fun there I can tell you, but most of it was out of my price range, I will just have to save my pennies, I almost drooled over the machines infact when the sales person came up and asked me what I was after I did say I was just drooling over everthing. tightly packed but well laid out, everthing you could ever want under 1 roof. they do have layby if you want it and also teach different classes,

katiebear1 08-04-2010 10:34 PM

How very cool!

ksea 08-05-2010 06:38 AM

It's a small world, but we are a large bunch!!

Charleen DiSante 08-05-2010 06:42 AM

We are a large bunch and getting larger. It's nice to see how many log on internationally.

Yarn or Fabric 08-05-2010 07:36 AM

How cool is that??!
It's funny how small a world it is out there!

Crickett Sweet 08-05-2010 07:59 AM

I met a fellow quilting board member at Quilting by the Lake where I go every summer for learning, sharing and renewal. How cool, there she was in the same class with me. We found we had a lot in common and enjoyed sewing together for three days.

Annz 08-05-2010 04:40 PM

Wow!! What are the chances of that happening?

Matilda 08-05-2010 04:44 PM

That is really neat! How fun!

blahel 08-05-2010 04:59 PM

Hi Earthwalker...yes let me know what the shop is like and thanks for the info re textile traders in Midland. I do go to spotlight in Cannington and also find that the Spotlight in Rockingham is pretty good too. Often they will have a lot of marked down fabrics where the Cannington one doesnt. Spotlight in Innaloo while a lovely store hasnt had much on clearance but I love IKEA so usually make a day of it!

Hi Litacats, is this the quilting shop in Midland you are talking about? I am looking forward to seeing that store then as it sounds like it will be worth the trip especially with sewing machines in there as well..i just love the new Janome Horizon..but will be waiting a while to get it until it comes down in price...

litacats 08-06-2010 02:51 AM

yes it is the store in midland I think it would be well worth the trip, I will be in midland on wednesday, what day are you planning to go
