Hi Col and Sue,

I just wanted to thank you for the most amazing couple of days ...... everything was just perfect.......  the view, accommodation, meals and class room.

Meeting Sylvia Pippen was a dream come true for me, she is such a caring and giving person.  She has inspired me to do more designing work and I can't wait to get started on a new project.  I'll send a photo of my retreat project when I finish it.  I would highly recommend any future retreats you plan as I am sure they will be just as successful.  I look forward to our trip to Japan next year ... PICK ME,  PICK ME.... I can't wait and also going over to Hawaii to meet Kitty Pippen will be just as exciting.  I value your friendship and those of the other girls I met on the retreat..... and look forward to future workshops and retreats with Indigo Niche.  Thank you for a wonderful time.

I started doing a Sashiko Panel two years ago after about a dozen of my friends in my Craft Group decided to put in a bulk order from an advertisement in a magazine.  We enjoyed working together and planning what we would make.

I became so keen on Sashiko work that I bought a new sashiko panel that became available at a Craft Show in Brisane.  My daughter decided she would like a Queen Size bedspread using my work.

I could not visualise how to best use my work in one quilt.  I started adding fabrics as best I could, but I became increasingly frustrated by my results.  It simply could not be done successfully, or so I thought.   My son-in-law suggested a double sided quilt with one panel on each side - a reversible quilt.  I had doubts.

Then I heard of the Sashiko and Fabric Workshops coming to town.  These ladies are marvellous.  The impossible became possible.  They advised me immediately with a "Can Do" attitude.

I love the result, and everyone else does too.

Best value for money that I have ever had.

At the recent Melbourne Quilting and Craft Show I purchased a Sashiko table runner kit.  I had never seen them before and this has filled a small 'hole' for me to do  in the evening as I have a kitchen reno on and my quilting projects are packed up to avoid the dust.  I brought the kit to work and the staff were interested in it.  Also there will  be some Japanese students visiting us next week, so we may have something we can talk about with them.  My quilting class also loved the simplistic concepts.  Thanks for your time in showing me your completed projects  in Melbourne.  I love the embroidery.

If you have a passion for Japanese fabric as I do, then you must visit IndigoNiche.  The range of beautiful fabrics - colours,designs and textures is just fabulous and there is always more arriving! Also available are some stunning Aboriginal prints, bag patterns and sashiko threads and fabric and much more. Colleen and Sue provide loads of friendly service and advice.  So if you are interested in things Japanese a visit to IndigoNiche is a must.
