Autumn and Christmas incoming....
Well what a busy week we have had. Hours and hours spent cutting the gorgeous Merry Little Christmas range from Tilda. We started with the fat 1/4s and bundles, moved onto the pre ordered metres and part metres and finally managed to make lots of kits for you to choose from. Anyone who had pre ordered fabric and kits have had their orders processed and now we are able to offer up kits on the website. Below you will see which items we have chosen to create for you to drool over! We were lucky to receive a few extra bolts of the range this week but it is now sold out with the suppliers, so if there is something that catches your eye we do suggest that you don't delay too long as we will be unable to obtain more supplies.

We have obviously been thinking about Christmas, with being surrounded by the Tilda deliciousness, but we have also been feeling into the more present change of seasons with Autumnal weather landing more fully with us this week. There is a definite nip in the air even with warm days. We are finding that we are reaching out for our quilts in the evening to snuggle under. We are beginning to appreciate the rich autumnal colours and are enjoying the abundant harvest of fruit and veg. Pumpkins, squash, apples, plums and berries are filling fridge and freezer stocking up for the winter. Below are some of our favourite autumnal fabrics and patterns to get into the seasonal groove.

Look at these beautiful giant Christmas Stockings designed by Tilda using the Merry Little Christmas fabric. We have made up kits in three different colourways - putty white, burgundy and gingham. Each stocking measures approximately 15in x 26½in (38cm x 67.5cm) The pattern is free from Tilda but we include it with the fabric kit to save you the hassle of printing at home.

These cute Heart Garland cushions have been made into fabric packs complete with the pattern. Available in both the Putty White and Plaid Stone colourways. Made using piecing rather than applique and the easiest of the projects

Dear Santa Wallhanging can be adapted with buttons to use as an Advent Calendar. The fabric pack contains all the fabric for the front and binding so you can choose your own backing and buttons if required.

We have managed to cut more fat 1/4 bundles and most fabrics are still available as a single fat 1/4s but a few are running very low already.

We made a few of the Winter Birds fabric packs for customers who requested them and we have just one left in the petrol colourway.

The Tilda Creating Memories Ranges are available in four seasonal colourways and so we wanted to remind you of the Autumn collection. Warm oranges and browns with a hint of blue.
