Where’s Katoomba: In the heart of the picturesque Blue
Mountains, west of Sydney.
Where in Katoomba: 100 Lurline Street. Our beautiful shop is
located in a lovely little yellow cottage. Lurline Street is the main
tourist road that runs down to the famous Three Sisters and is
the gateway to the World Heritage Blue Mountains National Park.
Who plays host: The shop is owned by Karen and Brendon Kirk.
You’ll find Karen in store on Tuesday through to Friday, and on
alternate Saturdays, you will be greeted and looked after by
Leisel and Marg.
Worth visiting because: Linen and Threads is both a
patchwork and needlework shop, but now our focus is primarily
on needlework. We started out as a needlework business 16
years ago, and have now decided to make that the main part
of our business again, although we do have a great deal of
patchwork supplies still. Our cottage has eight rooms packed
with supplies and lovely samples to inspire you. We have many
ranges of embroidery threads and beads, and we are always
happy to order in anything we don’t have in stock that you
might have trouble finding. Our patchwork ranges are mostly
Civil War and reproduction fabrics. We also have a Christmas
room, which is enticing all year round; after all, it’s never too
early to start some Christmas stitching!What we recommend: We have hundreds of cross-stitch charts
and we specialise in antique reproduction samples, although
we do also have a full range of Mirabilia Designs. We have also
launched our own range of beautiful hand-dyed linens under
our Under The Hedgerow brand.

Where’s Leura: Approx two hours from Sydney, just before
Katoomba in the spectacular Blue Mountains. Leura has some
amazing shops and cafes, so it is definitely worth a full-day visit.
Where in Leura: 1/152 Megalong Street. We’re in a sweet
cottage behind Leura Mall (the main shopping strip). Just travel
down Leura Mall, turn left at Megalong Street and then left into
the car park, and we are there, opposite Woolworths, so there
is plenty of parking right outside our door.
Who plays host: Pamela Davis and her helpful staff

Indigenous prints and our full Jinny Beyer Range are just a few
