Welcome to our shop . . .

Come visit us in our new surrounds - a beautiful sandstone church built in 1865.  We moved to our new location and re-opened on Saturday 7th August 2010.

Surrounded by wonderful stained glass windows, timber beams and other original features, it is a great place for a quilt shop!  en

Both of us love traditional style quilts and most of the fabrics in our shop are reproductions, both from the 1800's and 1930's.  We also have a great range of retro fabrics which appeal to the young who are starting to get into sewing. 

Our other love is 100% felted woven wool.  We are one of Australia's largest suppliers and a lot of our designs use this great medium.  We exhibited at the International Quilt Market in Houston 2009 and again in Minneapolis in 2010.  Our designs were well received by other quilt stores in the United States and we now have a large presence over there, which is great for our followers in the US!

We never tire of admiring this beautiful place and we would love to share it with you, so whether or not you visit us in person or here on the website, we hope you enjoy the surrounds as much as we do.  If there is something you are after and you have not found it on the website, please don't hesitate to drop us an email and we'll see if we can help you.

Same Day Dispatch

We pride ourselves on same day dispatch for all our mail and phone orders received by 3pm.    We use Australia Post Satchels for all of our postage.  Depending on what is being posted, parcels weighing up to 500g will cost you $5.90 and up to 3kg $10.80, but if you are anything like us and can’t wait for it, we can Express Post it for a little extra charge!  Obviously, where just a pattern or small piece of fabric is being posted, the postage will be cheaper in a smaller envelope and we will adjust it accordingly.

Gatherings

Twice a year we host a “Gathering” – the first in April  - “An Autumn Gathering” and the second in October – “A Christmas Gathering”.

We previously used to hold these Gatherings in a charming old hall in Campania, 20 minutes from Hobart but now that we have this wonderful building and all this space, why wouldn't we have it here!

We generally have about 60 ladies at each one, some even from interstate, who enjoy a day of hand stitching, friendship and laughter.  They may not get a lot of stitching done, but they sure have a great time, also getting in a bit of retail therapy!   In the past we have had designers such as Rosalie Quinlan, Leanne Beasley, Helen Stubbings, Lynette Anderson, Kerry Gillespie and most recently, Anni Downs, Natalie Bird and Natalie Ross. 

Our next Gathering will be held on Saturday 23rd October 2010. Our guest designers will be Sue Daley of Patchwork with Busyfingers and Simone Gooding of May Blossom.  Be sure to book early for this one so you don’t miss out!! 

We hope you enjoy your journey through the pages of The Quilted Crow and can visit us next time you are in Tasmania.
