In 2010, we shall continue to teach, in Sydney, at our new shop at Shop 2, 293 Pennant Hills Road, Thornleigh. Please note the major change in our teaching schedule: In order to be more efficient and adjust our face-to-face and hands on teaching to compliment our online teaching (the more I work on the video teachings, the more future I see in online teaching! Watch this site), I shall only teach full day classes - hand quilting and hand applique and jacket making are the ones need a full day course. The rest subjects are better taught online at a much cheaper cost and flexible timetable to suit your life. The shop will become a hands on tuition place as an addition to the online teaching: Let me help you trouble shoot your problems whenever and if ever you need throughout the week from Tue -Sat; Sunday the shop opens if there is a class on and Mon totally closes so I can get a real day off. Find more on hands on tuition on the Sydney class page.  

We shall also organise teaching retreats around Australia at State Libraries starting from May in Perth, July in Melbourne, Oct in Brisbane and Nov in Adelaide.

Please help us to spread the word, so more quilters can join us. Let's work together to keep making perfect quilts affordable in difficult times and still have lots of fun!
 
You can also book by phone and mail. You are more than welcome to print these information off for your friends who are not computer savvy.
