Amanda Sloan runs a quilt shop in the popular seaside town of Wynyard in Tasmania, called The Fabric Parcel.
We have just wrapped up building a new web site for her, and I am writing to present it to you.
She can package up a wonderful array of fabrics for you, as well as templates, threads, and a whole range of other goodies.
If you’re not tied up, please visit her pretty new site at http://www.TheFabricParcel.com.au . You’ll be wrapt you did.
PS That’s a wrap.
PPS Sorry.
I have a web site http://www.cloverproducts.com.au where I sell the wonderful products from the Clover company.
But now, if you visit that site using a mobile device such as a smart phone, you will see a much easier-to-use mobile-friendly version.
If you don’t have a smart phone, you can get a “preview” of what the site looks like on a number of mobile devices, at http://m.previewmymobile.com/simulator/cloverproducts
I hope you like it!
Creating a mobile version of YOUR web site, even if it is not one that was built by me, is a new service I can now offer. When you update your original site, the mobile site updates itself automatically.

Joy Friedberger owns and operates a professional longarm quilting business in the small country town of Cohuna, in Victoria Australia.
She is very passionate about quilting and very proud of the standard of machine quilting that she offers.
Together, we have set up a very pretty new web site at http://www.ByJoyItsQuilted.com, so you can find out all about her services.
This is one of my “Express” web sites, in which Joy had full control of the design of the site, and I think you will agree she did a lovely job. OK, I helped her a bit, but it was all done with the built-in utilities so she has access to change the look whenever she wants to.
If you would like to now more about how you can get an Express web site for your business, and have it up and running without needing to go on my waiting list, please visit http://www.geckogully.com/websites/index.php?act=viewDoc&docId=14 .
But first, make sure you visit Joy at http://www.ByJoyItsQuilted.com and join her mailing list, so she can keep you up to date with all her news!

The Geelong Patchwork and Quilters’ Guild Inc, from Victoria in Australia, is a vibrant, active group of quilters.
With the parent Guild, and 11 affiliated area groups, they certainly have a lot on!
If you are in that part of the world, and are looking for friendship or guidance with your quilting, they have lots of activities, events and meetings that will keep you out of trouble (or maybe get you in more trouble!).
I invite you to visit their new web site at http://www.geelongpatch.org.au for more information.
Leesa Lewis has been a quilter for over 40 years. She has travelled the world, and knows good fabric when she sees it. And she has found some lovely fabric that she is now able to provide for quilters and sewers worldwide.
Leesa’s new business, International Fabric Creations, is based in Australia,but Leesa has spent several months recently sourcing some wonderful fabrics and other products from all over the globe. She can provide fabrics in any quantity, from small pieces for individuals making a quilt, right up to large quantities for those manufacturing clothing or other fine-quality fabric goods.
All are available online at Leesa’s new web site http://www.InternationalFabricCreations.com
One very special product that will excite quilters is what she calls Quilters Dream Fabric No. 3. This is a 58″ wide, 100% cotton fabric that is solid in colour. But what makes it special is that not only is it an excellent quality (at least as good as the best brand-name solids, and much better than the Homespun/Calico type fabrics that are commonly available), but it also comes in a mind-blowing range of colours. In fact, ANY of the Pantone range of colours is available, as they are dyed to order.
There are also two other Quilters Dream Fabrics, which are finer in quality – great for appliqué.
Another special fabric that quilters and embroiders will love is the Organdy. This is great for shadow work, as it gives a lovely soft glow when brighter colours are laid underneath.
Even wider fabric (110″) is also available for backing quilts. This is in plain white, and is very suitable for dying yourself. And the very reasonable price per metre makes it worth considering if you are dying fabrics to sell as part of you own business.
With fabrics ranging in weight from organdy to drill, as well as some beautiful ready-made products like caftans and hand bags, International Fabric Creations is certainly off to a good start. I encourage you to join the mailing list to be kept up-to-date with all the latest products as they become available. http://www.InternationalFabricCreations.com
