Send us a photo of your masterpiece and tell us what book it came from and your masterpiece could feature in
the next edition of “Crochet Extra”
Here are some customer comments and masterpieces for this month!
Just a note to let you know that I received
my order today and was surprised as I didn’t
know that you included a Fredo Frog in the
orders. I thought it was a nice touch, all the
order arrived in excellent condition thank you.
Sue G, Tuan QLD. Sue is a new customers
and hopefully will enjoy more Freddos from us.
Thanks for the order. Was at the PO yesterday and I picked it up
today on my way home from town. Australia Post seems to work
fast up your way! Alan got the frog again and says ‘thank you’.
Marg D, Yangan QLD.
June P, Landsborough QLD came for a visit and a cuppa and
showed us her exquisite doily worked in Cebelia #40. Pattern is
from the Spanish book Selec7 which is no longer available but we
Del H from Mooloolah QLD and her friend Margaret do have a large range of similar patterns in symbol books.
came to visit and spent some time browsing and say thank you for a lovely time spent in your shop.
Many Thanks for sending the Singer
knitting machine and also your prompt
service. I ordered my machine on the
Thursday and it arrived early Friday
morning. Eileen S, North Aramara QLD.
I have to say thank you for the quick processing of my order, it was
delivered this morning. I have had a quick look at the Interlocking
Crochet Book, and will definitely be starting something this week.
I will send you a photo when I finish. The yarn sleeves will
certainly be useful, as I am currently working on something and
the ball of yarn has been running away from me and my cat thinks
it is a wonderful game. Paula W, Werrington Downs NSW.
I would like to say Thank You for the service I just
received from you. I faxed my order yesterday
afternoon and it arrived this morning. Keep up the
good work, it really is appreciated.
Carol H, Eagleby QLD.
I just want to thankyou for your very special service that you give.
Your thoughtfulness and help is overwhelming.
Kathy C, Home Hill QLD.

Entering the competition couldn’t be easier. All you have to do
is place an order. All orders will enter the random draw which
takes place on the last day of every month. Good Luck!!
Many thanks for my latest order, it is a
pleasure to ring you. The help you offer is
appreciated. Your service is first class and
the promptness that orders are processed are
the best. A very satisfied customer. Enid S, Redcliffe QLD.
Thank you for my order last Monday, it arrived on
Tuesday. Also have a question - is sizing a form of
starch as I have this doily with blue bells on it and it says
to apply this sizing to make the blue bells preserve their
shape. Thank you for your prompt service I appreciate
it very much. Yvonne A, Woodridge QLD.
Yvonne has since purchased fabric stiffener for her doily.
YOU COULD WIN A $20 GIFT VOUCHER!

and find them easy to follow. Just love the baby rugs & shawls I
received today so looking forward to making a shawl for my greatgrand daughter who arrives in February. Laila G, Nannup WA.
I just wanted to let you know that
the order for my mother arrived this
afternoon and she’s thrilled. Having
only ordered it on Friday afternoon we
weren’t expecting it so soon and can’t
express how wonderful the service is
you offer. Mum loved the dolls saying
how pretty they are and has asked if
possible could you let me know when
you have the fair skin dolls back in
stock as she’d like to order a couple
of those. Thanks again for the great
service. Michelle B, Nudgee QLD.
