big news, my friends, big, big news. after oh-so-many years, i am hanging up my onegirl apron and moving on. i've craved a change for a long time now and as each year passes i feel less and less like onegirl is a good fit for my work, the quilts and fabric designs i've been working on this year especially. i've been hesitant to list them as onegirl and last week, with my thirty sixth birthday looming in early november, i made the solid decision to change. a new name, a new logo, a new webpage, a new shop, a new facebook page. and it feels so GOOD to finally commit! now, not to worry, onegirl isn't going away entirely. i'll be closing my bigcartel shop for good in january but my onegirl etsy shop will remain open for any future onegirl pattern sales. i will be clearing out all my remaining onegirl labelled stuff at north melbourne market on november 13th and december 4th and maribyrnong makers market on november 26th (and i'll have a selection of the new goodies, too).
but now i am super excited to introduce you to maze & vale, named after my two crazy, sweet girls. my original designs, handprinted in small runs of custom mixed colours on linen and cotton cloth. improvisational and beautifully organic quilting. toys that are as unique
as they are cuddly. that is what maze & vale is all about. my new little shop is just stretching its legs with a few fabric listings but soon i'll add quilts, quilt kits, pillow covers, oobees (yes, there will still be oobees!) and whatever else i can dream up to create with my own fabric.
and as a huge thank you for all of the love and support you have shown me as onegirl for the past six years and to kick off my new identity, i am super happy to offer FREE SHIPPING within australia for the entire month of november in both my maze & vale shop and my onegirl shop! no coupon codes needed, just shop away and have it arrive for free. and if you could pop over and like my lonely new facebook page, that would be ace : )
Congrats on the move! Sweet name too. I've been working on giving my blog a facelift for months now, just waiting to find time to put the finishing touches to my banner. You've inspired me to get on with it. x
