I am happy to announce.....

That we have raised about $5 200 for the Monbulk CFA. This amount will probably increase a little over the next few days, we are still waiting on a couple of community groups to donate money. I'll share the final figure as soon as l know it.

I am thrilled to bits with that figure, its the highest amount we have raised to date. I know the Monbulk CFA will put it to good use. When they tell us what they have purchased l'll let you know.

We can do better next year!

Winding Ways Shop Hop

Winding Ways

All you need to know.....
These 2 pages are full of information you might find helpful while you're taking part in the Winding Ways Shop Hop this year. It includes each shop's details and information for you if you are doing one shop or all five.
While you are here....
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.
