Christmas in July 2024, Registration forms

Thank you to everyone who has booked in for my Christmas in July event this year, I have once again been blown away by the response. The registrations opened at 9am this morning and within 5 minutes there were 110 names on the list. I still have a few places left on either Saturday 20th or Sunday 21st July, so if you forgot to ring, please contact me to book your place.

For those who have registered, I have sent you a message to confirm your booking. The payment of $75 is due in full by the 15th June. If payment is not received by this date, there will be only one reminder sent out. After that, your place will be opened up for anyone on the waiting list.

Please download the (relevant) registration form below, and return it by the 15th June.

Retreat Registration Form, 2024

Thanks everyone for the amazing response to my 11th Retreat Weekend to be held next March. Apologies to those who missed out, but the venue is not huge and can only take a certain number of people. For those lucky enough to be coming along, there are a couple of things that you will now need to do. Everyone who is attending will need to fill in the registration form (link below), fill out and return.....this helps me to keep better track of those who have paid, how much, contact details etc etc. Please make sure that you pay the deposit and balance by the due dates so that I don't have to chase around following you up. You will get only one reminder! It is also super important that you mark on the registration form whether you will be bringing your sewing machine or not with you. This helps me to plan not only the table placement, but how many people I can put on each table. If you have booked in with a large group, you may be split over 2 tables. Please also note that I will be unable to cater for special dietary requirements on this weekend.

The countdown is on!

It's all now starting to get serious. The big move isn't that far away, so I thought that I would remind everyone about a few important dates.

In June last year, we purchased the old Post Office building in Timboon.

And in just 4 weeks the shop will be closed at it's current location......486 Princetown Road, Cooriemungle......and we will be packing everything up ready to move into 13 Main Street, Timboon. I honestly thought that this day would never come, and now it is approaching very quickly! I have lots to do over the coming 6 weeks in preparation for the Grand Re-opening on Wednesday 11th October.

 

 

 

I am busy stitching up lots of new projects which (most) won't be available until I re-open. I have ordered lots of beautiful fabrics, notions and a little bit of gift ware too. I have a large area to fill up.....and by heck I'm going to give it my best shot......lol!

Linda   :)

Shop hours - update

Yes it's been a while, and I really must use my blog more, but in the meantime, it is what it is.

There is a lot happening here at Gum Valley Patchwork at the moment. With that in mind, I have decided the easiest way to cope with everything, is to temporarily close the shop front. 

The shop will be closed from Monday 3rd July through until Wednesday 16th August 2023. It will reopen on Thursday 17th August at 11am for normal hours. During this time I will be attending the Craft Alive Show in Adelaide, holding my Christmas in July event, shipping my stock to WA for the Craft Alive Perth Show in early August. I then have to wait for my stock to arrive back in Ballarat, before I can collect it, put the shop back together, and have it ready to reopen on the 17th August.

But wait there's more!.......

The shop will close again on Monday 25th September, so that I can start the huge.....yes I mean HUGE!.....job of packing everything up ready to relocate the shop in to 13 Main Street, Timboon. Yes I will be a townie once again......lol! I am born and bred Timboon, so I am excited to be back as a 'resident'. We will still be living here at the current shop address, but will have more room for family when they come and stay.......which will be lovely. The big reopening.....at this stage.....is planned for Wednesday 11th October 2023. I will keep everyone updated with the details a little closer to the date.

Don't forget that my online shop will remain open while the physical shop is closed, and I will process and post out orders as quickly as I can during this time.

Cheers

Happy Scrappy Backgrounds, update

I have finished my version of Gail's Happy Scrappy Backgrounds Quilt, and I must admit I had great fun making it.

I added a final border to it and had it quilted by Wendy @ Clever Ducks Quilting in Colac.

I added a few of my own touches to the quilt.......I like love birds and birdhouses so added these to make this quilt mine. As a special gift from me to you, I have popped a few of the designs on a sheet and they are available for you to download if you wish to use them on your quilt. They are for your personal use only, so please respect that.
