Studio closed for most of June

The KoolKats will be away for most of next month.  The last day to receive quilts will be May 30.  We leave June 2 and expect to be back around Monday 20.  We have a workshop in Eulo on June 4, after which we intend to do some travelling in our van.  Some of this will be in remote country and we will be out of reach of phone and email communication.  Our mail will be collected during that period and if you wish to send a quilt, it will be collected and stored safely pending our return.
Bookings are starting to flow for “The Parrot Hilton”.  The Parrot Hilton has been named for the wonderful array of parrots and lorikeets that visit our 2 acre refuge just minutes away from Toowoomba and Highfields.  We have a 5 bedroom house, and only use half of it.  The West Wing, at Our Parrot Hilton, which can also be found on AirBnB. The tariff is just $55 per night for 2 people, and $20 for each extra person (maximum 4 people).  A basic continental breakfast is included.

Kiwi quilt set to fly out next week.

The first quilt is from Alison of Mudgeeraba who requested a pattern suitable for man, something without flowers.  KoolKat chose the plush e2e machine quilting pattern for this quilt. Liz from The Dawn near Gympie is heading off to New Zealand next week, and had a rush job for a king size quilt with a label and binding both sides.  As the quilt took 3 days to arrive, the KoolKats realised they would have to complete this quilt in today, and shortly before the post closed, the job was done.  It has been quilted in the budget meander e2e chosen by Liz.  The final Japanese quilt from Mavis at Roma, also required a label, and it has been quilted in the blowing pampass grass e2e.  Time to put our feet up!
