Glenda from Toowoomba dropped in today with two quilts. Glenda was her normal bright, bubbly self and certainly livened up our day. She has chosen the clover e2e and budget meander e2e machine quilting patterns for these quilts.

Referrals bring new work to KoolKat
The first quilt (top left) from Jennine of Toowoomba and the middle quilt from Robyn in Victoria demonstrate the power of referrals in bringing new customers to KoolKat. Thank you those existing KoolKats who referred their friends to us. Jennine chose the budget leaf meander e2e, while Robyn is having the Stars and Loops e2e machine quilting pattern. Last but not least, we welcome back Trish of Toowoomba who made the bottom quilt for her grand-daughter. Trish chose the Nautilus pattern for her quilt.
Kaffe Fassett adds bright note to this week’s quilts
Allyson from Ipswich’s Kaffe Fassett quilt below is one of two we received this week; it is being quilted in orange thread using the clover e2e machine quilting pattern. We usually team these with a batik backing. Allyson’s second quilt is being quilted in the I Love It trailing hearts pattern in a olive green thread.

Machine quilting vouchers and start to our quilting year
Hello everyone, we have started work in the KoolKat Quilting studio today. Starting today and continuing during the week, we are also emailing this year’s machine quilting vouchers to customers who gave us $200+ of quilting business during 2014. Meanwhile, the year is off to a quilting start with a quilt from Tricia of Wallumbilla being quilted in the chicken-wire e2e machine quilting pattern and a quilt from Ali at Engadine, NSW which is being quilted in the Yin Yang e2e pattern.
