Getting Started with a Paper Piecing Sampler and Easy Precut Applique Sampler
“Getting Started”, the hand piecing and machine piecing group that was launched last year, by The Quilt Fairy and Lavender Quilt, in response to public requests, has a new improved meeting venue:

Yule Avenue (off Roe Hwy) , Middle Swan
***Venue change March4th Due to storm damage at Swanleigh we will meet at The Bruce Douglas Pavillion, Brown Park, Swan View for March 5th and 19th
We thank our loyal ladies of 2010 and can’t wait to continue in friendship this year … more sewing, more learning, more talking and more fun.
Beginners are most welcome … we would love to get you started If you would like to have a go at English Paper Piecing or Buttonhole Applique email: thequiltfairy@iinet.net.au or some new Machine Piecing projects email: thequiltfairy@iinet.net.au to register your interest.
We meet every second Saturday afternoon for a relaxing sewing afternoon from 1.30 – 4.30pm. There is a small cost of $12
You can try some of our projects or just come for “social sewing” … make new friends and work on your existing projects.
We hope to have Charity Quilts on the go this year for you to be part of, if you wish.
We will be starting on Feb 5th, 2011.
Retreats are in the planning process for May and September. More information will be given soon. You may be interested in our inexpensive, informal ” Sharing our Skills” workshops and demonstrations that will be held at our retreats.

This year, The Quilt Fairy has two sampler quilts for you to try.
Neither quilts need a large financial outlay to get started. They are both “pay as you sew” … buy the blocks as you need them … you set the pace.
The blocks start at $15 and as they are Quilt Fairy projects they are precut and ready to sew. Or… choose from any other Quilt Fairy kits
Easy Applique Sampler … new and traditional designs
Paper Piecing Sampler … Precut Piecing Papers and Fabrics
“Getting Started” will also be able to supply you with Backing fabrics,Wadding, Rasant Thread and other Sewing Notions. Lavender Quilt Fabrics will be there each Sewing Day to help with your fabric requirements.
