A bit of glitz, witch and book wizardry ....
Hello lovely customer. It is a tad breezy and wet as I type. Lovely weather for ducks! Hopefully you are snuggled up and safe. However, despite the chilliness outside, we are finding our hearts warm knowing we will be seeing so many of our lovely customers next week with our Autumn Get Together and pop up shop. The class is full but anyone can pop in to visit the mobile shop. We would love to see you there. Full details below.

This week we are bringing the good news that we have received an order of Tilda books and have created some special scrap bags to accompany them. We have created a limited selection of Tilda Merry Little Christmas scrap bags! These are made up from the end of rolls of the range, some of which have sold out completely, so these are the last chance for many of these fabrics. We have also made some very beautiful Sparkly Scrap bags using our metallic fabrics. A great way to get a selection of fabrics for those little projects or applique embellishments.
|
Although we are looking at Christmas, Halloween is just a few days away and there is still time to make things for the celebrations. We have plenty of witchy fabrics and even a panel to make party decorations if you are hosting a spooky get together. The party panel is now at a knockdown price and all Halloween fabrics have a 10% discount this week. Don't forget to click on the coupon at the checkout to take advantage of it.

|
Thank you for your support and custom. We enjoy chatting with you online and over the phone, helping you to get the right fabrics and threads for your projects, and hope to see many of you in person at the various events coming up.

With our Very Best wishes

Tilda books are always such great value for money, being packed full of absolutely tons of Scandinavian inspiration and patterns. From quirky dolls to large quilts and pretty cushions. Crafting Christmas does not disappoint and includes snowmen and angels, heart decorations and Santa Sacks.

Winter Delights is really full of delights! A gorgeous polar bear, Christmas Angels, Stockings and other decorations.
|
|
This is Sally's own Tilda Polar Bear, made using the pattern in Winter Delights. The Tilda fur is no longer available so it has been made in our high quality woolfelt. Perfect for toy making. There are three sizes of the Polar Bear pattern in the Winter Delights book. For the small size you will need a long quarter of woolfelt, & for the medium and large polar bears you will need 1/2 m each of woolfelt.

Homemade and Happy is filled with cushions, quilts, stockings and dolls including the gorgeous quilted Father Christmas and the reindeer that were always a talking point in the shop with their twig antlers. We have Tilda Doll fabric which is perfect for making the deer and other soft toys, such as those in Crafting Springtime. It has a slight give to make the sewing and stuffing of thin limbs extra easy. Osnaburg or linen can also be used.

We know Spring is a long way ahead but no harm in planning ahead. Look at these cute bunnies, hens and geese.

A lot of this gorgeous range was sold out within the first few weeks. We see why. Such pretty vintage style prints in glorious colours that are more wintry than just for Christmas. We have managed to make a final few fat 1/8 and fat 1/4 bundles using the majority of the range and also a few rather gorgeous bespoke Merry Little Christmas Scrap Bags. They contain a selection of the range and are a limited edition as they contain the last pieces of some of the fabrics.

Whether for festive projects or others, sometimes we need a little sparkle in our lives but don't want to buy lots of fat 1/4s. That is why we created these Sparkly Scrap bags. Each contains the equivalent of a fat 1/4 of fabric. These metallic beauties add a little glitz and glamour to any project. Sparkly paper pieced decorations, applique stars and moons or a halo or wings for an angel.
