50 Days until Christmas
Well, this week has seen us battered by very wintry weather. The rain has been heavy and the winds strong. We hope that our very depleted reservoirs are starting to refill as many were down to below 20% capacity. So while it's been wet and windy it has been the perfect time to catch up on some sewing and reorganising our shop stock to make room for more deliciousness!
|
Our biggest arrival this week and better late than never, is I Believe in Angels fabric range by Bunny Hill designs. 28 bolts of cheery Christmas designs. There are several patterns that coordinate with this range as well, including a new Block of the Month. Full details below.
|
New from Sarah Peel is her latest book of friends for Luna Lapin, Luna Lapin and Friends - A Year of Making. This book has patterns for exquisite clothes and characters including a Highland Cow resplendent in a kilt.
|
The Corinne Lapierre kits that arrived last week have flown out so we have already placed another large order. If you missed out on a kit then add your name to the waitlist and we will let you know as soon as they arrive. We also have a new addition to her kits, her brand new 2022 Advent Calendar. Available to pre-order we will send them out as soon as they arrive.
|
For those of you who purchased one of our Coast & Country Advent Boxes, we will be dispatching them by mid November.
|
So many ideas for gifts as well as bigger projects for yourself. What will you start with?
|
As always, have a wonderful week.
|
Happy Stitching
Best wishes
Sally & the girls

To accompany the new range, Bunny Hill have released this gorgeous new pattern that uses the fabrics. We have put a fabric pack together for this BOM. It may be a little late to complete it for this year but it can be made for next year or why not work on it as a group or family project?
