An Ellie has a new home in New Zealand

Hi Everyone,

I have been laid low the last couple of weeks with a cold.
I started to feel the effects of it towards the end of my time in Perth when I went to demonstrate Millie at the WA Craft Show which was held at the Claremont Show-grounds.

Perth:
 By the way I sold (at the show) the three frames I sent over to test the packaging, I have not done this previously as I thought my customers would not want to carry the frame about at the show, how wrong was I? They jumped at the opportunity! I could have sold a lot more if I had had them there.

Adelaide:  
So_ _ _ I will be going to demonstrate "Ellie" at the Australian Machine Quilting Festival (AMQF) in Adelaide at the end of September so I will take a few frames over with me, pop in and see Libbie and me and check out the show specials for "Ellie"

New Zealand:
 I am so happy after selling my first frame to New Zealand, I am waiting on feedback regarding freight etc.

USA:
The plans for making  some "Ellie" frames in the USA for the local market are going well, with me just about to pay for my first order.
I have had a great deal of interest expressed from the USA and am very pleased with the product I will be offering for sale there.
Due to a number of considerations the USA price will be different to the Australian price but it will hopefully be a lot cheaper to freight.
Also I am designing a special frame for a customer who is in a wheelchair, she has said she will be happy to give me some feedback on her experience with the frame after she has used it.

Have to go now.
Happy Quilting,
Ann.
