Some of you may have thought that 
I was not Blogging anymore 
or that we have been Quiet
I can assure you that 
 I have been super busy with 
making custom Quilts and finishing 
up for the year here at Darvanalee Designs 

So for this post I am just putting up the pictures 
of the Quilts that i have done throughout the 
month of November 2014 

I must say there are some very 
talented people here in Kingaroy and Surrounds 
I love to see your work and help you finish of your 
gorgeous Quilts ...these quilts are in no particular 
order...but you can get the general idea 
about what I have been up to in the 
the last month

I hope you enjoy seeing what the ladies 
have been up to :) :)

What’s New
As some of you may or may not know
I have been dipping my creative toes into
the world of Crochet...and I must say I love it
but have found it difficult to find some
of the different yarns that they
use in some of the patterns online
and even harder to the supplies I need
here in Kingaroy or even Australia
so over the last few months i have doing some
research...and the most exciting part is
we are Now Stacking Lion Brand Yarn and
Bernat Handicrafter yarns
as you can see in the pictures in the Album on Facebook  ...we have only a few colours
but I will be getting more in
I have mainly been looking at Cotton at this
point as this is what myself and few others
have been chasing so if you are
looking for something lets us know
and you never know we might just be
able to get it for you :) :)
we are now seeing some of the Knitting and Crochet notions
starting to arrive in store too

We have some other Brands arriving to and we hope to have a
fantastic selection by the time our winter Rolls around
Supplies have started sell so get in fast so you don’t
miss out on some of these fantastic Yarns :)
for latest stock you can head to our Facebook page and
look for this Album Cover
