Merry Christmas

It is lovely to have the whole day today to prepare for tomorrow. Food to prepare, tables to set, presents to wrap. It's starting to feel a lot like Christmas.



The musical toys are all lined up ready for the grandchildren who love them, their parents aren't so keen. I hope we have enough batteries.



Santa looks happy he has his roast turkey and plum pudding, he will need a bigger suit next year.



I have a collection of salt and pepper shakers just a few Christmas ones so now to set the table.

The shop will be open Wed Thurs and Fri this next week and then from Jan 3rd.

I hope you all have a happy and safe Christmas

What to buy?..

Hi everyone,

I am sitting at home making a list of who I have to buy gifts for (yes I am yet to do this there is still plenty of time). I thought I might be able to give you a few ideas!





How cute are these two! The owl and koala come on the one panel and are super quick and easy to cut out stitch around stuff and close the seam. How easy is that.




Cats and dogs are also available and all these panels are designed by Saffron Craig.



This fab stitchery is a new one by Rosalie Quinlan and the pattern comes with preprinted linen and the red thread to stitch with. Now that's a great gift because the receiver could stitch it ready for next year.

If your still unsure, a gift voucher for Patchwork with Gail B would make any quilter happy.

I don't think any of my three sons would appreciate these ideas! I had better get back to my list.

Happy stitching

My first post

Hi welcome to my first post I have at last been dragged into this century.
My blog is going to try and keep you up to date with what is happening in the shop, what's new, what is coming soon, where you can come and see us at a show and a little info on the family and maybe even the occasional bit of gossip about the girls behind the counter!

Want to see what has arrived lately???????





Woodlands by Natalie Lymer Isn't this a cute range look at the toadstools!
Wouldn't this look great for Christmas!









Outfoxed by Lizzie House....this is a fresh modern range (and Clair loves it!) The pearl bracelets are so gorgeous and as for the foxes and hedgehogs...yum!




It's starting to feel a bit like Christmas. There is still time to stitch up a Rudy kits and patterns available in store.




Over 80 different minkee fabrics in stock and just to make you happy we have reduced the price to $32.00 mt. Keep in mind it is 150 cm wide.....that wide!

I am now feeling brain dead. This is toooo much technology for me in one day!!
