Wednesday, 8 April 2020

Mrs P's is back with some more pictures for you. Please email direct to mrspsamherst@gmail.com to place an order and arrange for pick up or shipping.

Canada is now suggesting/recommending having a mask to help prevent you from transmitting the virus when your 6 foot/2 metre personal space cannot be maintained. They are not not a replacement for personal space or frequent hand washing!

In case you want to try making a cloth mask ... let's look at some 100% cotton fabrics in stock! First up... Cats! These are the newest ones that came in the first week of March.

Please note: Mrs P's Amherst does not have elastic. :)

Paw Prints on Black/ Cats on White/ Packed Cats

Other items available include some Canadian Prints ...

And to end this post... Some bright sunflowers, yellow dots, daisies and beehives!

Welcome to Mrs Pugsley's Emporium Inc...

Covid-19 era!

Currently, I am more active on Facebook and can be found under https://www.facebook.com/MrsPsAmherst/

Today, I wanted to post a lot of pictures and this is an easier platform to do that on. (There are a lot that follow at the end of the post.)

We have a great selection of batiks in from Island Batik! A batik is a tightly woven cotton. If you are sewing with batiks, use a fresh sharp needle! Besides being closely woven, there was a lot of dyes and wax used in their process to achieve those great colours! If marking a batik for quilting, or other reason, check your mark can be removed!

They feel 'thinner' than a regular quilting cotton but that is because they more threads per area as the individual threads are finer. Unfortunately, hand quilters are unable to quilt easily through a batik but it can be done! You need lots of sharp needles. :)

You can email myself (Beth) directly at mrspsamherst@gmail.com to order anything on this page or for other enquiries. First come, first serve.

We rip these batiks so only Fat Quarters (FQ's), 1/2

metres and metres or larger can be ordered per bolt.

Prices are FQ's= $5 each

1/2 metres are $8.25 each and

$15.95/metre.

Once you decide on a selection, I will invoice you and we will decide a pick up time from the shop for you. Shipping is also available via Canada Post.

Thank you for your support! Respect the 2 metre distance rule and #FlattenTheCurve!
