I have just been up to post a mag to a friend up in Queensland. The postage is usually $14 something. I have taken the pattern sheet out of the mag and posted it on its own. By doing that the postage is $4.10 all up. That is a win against Australia Post, a saving of about $10.00, yippee.

If you are visiting Mrs Martin's Quilt Shop during Winding Ways you might like to set aside some time to visit other local shops. Monbulk has a lovely little shopping strip. I have listed some shops you might enjoy. - Winding Ways name tags.....
This is just a bit of fun. I see so many familiar faces and hate it when l don't know people's names. So decided l'd give the Winding Ways name tag a go. Feel free to download the pattern and whip one up. If you wear it to Mrs Martin's Quilt Shop you'll receive a small gift from me. - Winding Ways, First Prize 2013.....
How to win first prize..... Collect your Wild Goose Chase sheet at the first shop you visit. Each shop has 3 questions on the Wild Goose Chase sheet. You will need to make a $10.00 purchase at each shop and answer all 3 questions correctly to go into the draw for first prize. If you can't find the answers to the questions just ask. Have your questions stamped by the shop once you've made your purchase. Once you've visited all 5 shops and answered the questions leave your completed sheet with the last shop you visit.
Calendar
- June, let the Winding Ways Shop Hop begin.
A fun month ahead if you are taking part in the shop hop. Visit one shop or all 5.
