Two Day Sale

TWO DAY SALE!

I think I mentioned that  my tours of France and Italy  have been cancelled, and that has created a bit of a problem in that i was hoping to have my airfare paid for to get to Europe to exhibit at Quilts en Beaujolais in April and to do some teaching, but because of the cancellation  I now have to find the money for my own airfare. Airfares from Australia are never cheap because we are so far away from everywhere and they also need to be paid up front.So I have been pondering how to get the money together for the airfare.

Then the other day i was searching for a quilt and realized I really do have a stack of work here and  if I go overseas more next year, after my daughter goes to university, what am I going to do with all this work as it will need to be stored somewhere safe ...soo I thought I would have a two day sale at seriously cheap prices- the prices aren't much more than the material cost, many of the pieces have hours and hours of work and some have hand stitching as well. These pieces will not be offered at this price again apart from these next two days.All postage has been set at $25.00 regardless of weight or where it gets sent to.
