Felt kits and new inspiring books and magazines

What a busy week we have had. Lots of people popping in to see us, locals, visitors and day trippers, the shop has been buzzing and it has been fabulous to see everyone. Some have shown us their makes and we have added some photos into the Customer Gallery.

In amongst our deliveries this week are new books and magazines. The books are 2 1/2" strip Precut Companion by Jenny Doan of Missouri Star Quilt Company and Inspirations A Passion for Needlework 4. We have four new magazines to tempt you, Homespun, Quilter's Companion, Giuliana Ricama and Inspirations. Lots of reading and inspiring projects in them all.

Anni Downs has two new patterns using her fun festive range O Christmas Tree. A Father Christmas and Christmas tree Table Runner, and a joyful angel wall hanging Peace and Joy. We have kits available for them and are busy making kits for some of her other patterns.

The most exciting delivery was the big boxes of delicious felt kits from Corinne Lapierre. New kits as well as restock of our favourites. The waft of Lavender was intoxicating as we unpacked. We forgot the rain and the busyness for the moment and just enjoyed the sights and smells. We hope that you also have such a lovely time at work and home.

Happy Stitching and have a wonderful week.
Best wishes

Anni Downs Patterns


Two fun new Christmas patterns have arrived from Anni Downs of Hatched and Patched. O Christmas Tree Table Runner and Peace & Joy wall hanging. We have made up kits for each of them and are making our own samples as I type.



We still have some of the O Christmas Tree Panel which is also available as a kit, that includes the panel plus the coordinating fabrics and a pattern.




An old favourite is back in stock too, The Partridge and the Tree. A delightful little wall hanging with the 12 Days of Christmas depicted in tiny stitcheries.

Jenny Doan Books

Many quilters love to watch the cheery videos produced by Jenny Doan and the rest of the Missouri Star Quilt Company. We are lucky to stock two books by Jenny, The Quilter's 10" Square Precut Companion for using with Layer Cakes, and The Quilter's 2 1/2" Strip Precut Companion for using Jelly rolls.

Each book contains handy hints and tips for using the pre-cuts, plus 20+ block patterns for each. The hardest job will be choosing which one of our delicious pre-cuts to use! Or why not gift a book with an accompanying precut.
