Where’s Bunbury: 175 km south-east
of Perth, Bunbury was established in
1863, and is the third largest city in
Western Australia.
Where in Bunbury: Unit 1/13
Mummery Crescent – very easy to
find. As you arrive in Bunbury from
the north, you enter a roundabout.
Travel straight through and turn
right at the second set of lights, then
take the first street on the left, and
you are there.
Who plays host: Owner Glenys,
assisted by her wonderful staff ,
all of whom are very experienced
patchworkers. We pride ourselves
on our customer service.
Worth visiting because: When you
visit us here at Craft Collections,
you’ll find there are more than
5,000 bolts of fabrics from some of
the world’s most amazing designers,

Miller, Andover, Amy Butler,
FreeSpirit and Riley Blake, to name
just a few. Craft Collections also have
a huge range of Moda pre-cuts,
hundreds of the latest books,
patterns, notions, extra-wide backing
fabrics, Aboriginal fabrics and some
fabulous novelty prints. We also stock
a wide range of wool felt, supporting
the very popular wool-felt appliqué
by Australia’s Wendy Williams. Her
books and patterns are also available
in store, along with the wonderful
Sue Spargo Eleganza Perle 8
threads. Regular felt appliqué days
are very popular. And to top it all
off , we have ample parking, even

Where’s Esperance:Esperance is on the South East Coast of
WA. It is mainly a farming/fishing and port town, however we
are very famous for our fantastic beaches – you would be hard
pressed to find better anywhere else in the world! We have
many kilometres of surfing and fishing opportunities.
Where in Esperance: Unit 2, 41 Norseman Road. We are now
situated on the main road in to Esperance from the eastern states.
You will find us ideally located between a lovely Bunnings store
and a fantastic fishing shop – Tatey’s Tackle world. Win win for
husband and wife. If fishing and hardware are not on the agenda,

we also have a very comfortable ‘partners’ chair, complete with
magazines, so the customer can browse to their content.
Who plays host: Leonie de Haas owns and runs the store
with a little (lots) help from her friend, Jenny!
Worth visiting because: Just one More Stitch is a certified Quiltworx
Store, and Leonie is a Certified Quiltworx Instructor (currently the
only one in WA), so we stock and kit Quiltworx patterns and their
lines of fabrics. We are also the local Janome dealer. Along with these,
we stock wool, threads, haberdashery and much, much more.
Another aspect of our business is the quilting service that we provide
to customers. Our range of knitting and crochet yarns and patterns
is growing almost daily, as is our range of fabrics.
What we recommend: Of course, we recommend the Quiltworx
range of patterns and their gorgeous fabrics – Reclaimed West
and Seasonal Portraits, along with the batiks that coordinate with
them. Each year, we host a number of quilting retreats; these are
usually based on a Quiltworx pattern and are a huge amount
of fun. We welcome people from everywhere to our classes,
workshops and retreats and we love to host tour buses. Most
of all we recommend you pay us a visit, just because you can!
