Hello Donna,

Sandy has done a wonderful job with her website. It's great to see another shop opening in Australia instead of closing. Thanks for letting everyone know about it.

Happy days.

What a pleasure to be able to move around the online shop just as if it was a brick n mortar shop- moving from each category as if I was walking . Great job and love the kit section as it's always so much easier if the decisions have been made for you. Good luck.

gracie said...

A lovely selection and good pricing . As a novice quilter, it is nice to visit an online shop that is easy to navigate. I wish her success.

Thnak you for the information and the chance to win.
I looked at the website and love the way it sounds, the pictures were blocked, but that could have something to do with my end here. It sounds great, earthtones, traditional sewing, I love to read more about it and signed up for the newsletter.

Yvonne W said...

How wonderful to have a patchwork shop. I had wondered what happened to Sandy, as she had a blog post which said she was opening her shop and then no further posts. If my memory has not failed me, you helped Sandy and I at about the same tome to start up our blogs. Have signed up for her newsletter and looking forward to shopping.

I like her website, it's bright and friendly and easy to navigate. I like her flat rate of postage $6.50, which is a good idea. Cheers and good luck to Shiralee Stitches!

That's exciting for Sandy to be online now. Her site is well set out and very user friendly. I might have to look to see what tempts me before my next trip over to Oz I'm sure my Mum would wonder what was arriving in her mailbox for me to pick up.
