Ahoy Me Hearties and Shiver Me Timbers!
This week with the sun shining for a while, we have seen lots of boats back in the water along our Cornish Coast, so we thought we'd take a look at all things boat and sea related.
|
Coast by Sally Payne for Dashwood Studios has a soft hued colour palette with fish, gulls and boats. We love her quirky fun designs. Plus many other sea themed fabrics and kits to keep you all busy.
|
We have also just taken delivery of the latest issue of Quiltmania Magazine. Full of gorgeous inspiration and patterns.
|
Our talented Mary has been busy organising a Quilt and Textile Show at St Stythians Parish Church, Stithians TR3 7DH. It will run 1030-430 each day, Saturday May 27th - Monday May 29th, over the Whitsun Bank Holiday Weekend, so if you live local or are visiting that weekend, pop in and say hello. Only £2 entry and there are stalls, a raffle and light refreshments.
|
Have a wonderful week that is full of love, laughter and sewing!
Best wishes
Sally & the girls
