Spring Cleaning

As we see in the Spring fully this week with the clocks going forward on Sunday 26th, and we carry on with our stock take, we have had a closer look at our Spring themed products and are also having a clean up of our shop and website. We have some lovely designer patterns to give away to anyone who spends over £50 in the shop or online while stocks last! Just enter MYSTERY in the comments box if you order online or tell us at the till. There is a wide range of patterns from a variety of designers and all previously retailed for at least £9 or more, so who knows what you might win and create! This offer is limited to one free pattern per order.

Dare we say that Easter is not far away? Now is the perfect time to make Easter Baskets or decorations. We have specific Easter projects plus many of the kits and patterns below are perfect for this time of year. Leaping lambs, hoppy hares, and bouncing bunnies.

Our March Sale continues with bargain end of rolls, scrap bags and Fat 1/4 Lucky Dips so we take a look below at some of the patterns and books that use scraps.

Have a wonderful week that is full of love, laughter and sewing!
Best wishes
Sally & the girls

Around My Garden Quilt by Fee Ransley


This was a popular BOM but Michelle decided to use just one of the blocks to make a cushion. We love what she has done so we have split one of the complete quilt patterns to make 9 different cushion packs. They come with the fabric, the original pattern plus Michelle's extra instructions to make the cushion. We have also kept one whole set of the BOM and after this we are no longer able to purchase them so these are really last chance buys.

Leaping Lambs

We have a lovely selection of fabric with lambs and sheep having fun! These fabrics would make cute quilts or bags.

Easter Eggs Galore & Signs of Spring Bag

Back in stock are these two gorgeous spring patterns from Anni Downs.

Easter Eggs Galore is a Quick & Easy pattern featuring three different sized eggs to construct. You could make just one, or fill a bowl using your favourite fabric scraps!

The smallest egg measures 2” tall, the medium 2.5” tall, and the largest 3” tall.

Signs of Spring Tote Bag This bag has a needle-turn applique image on the front which is finished with a ric rac border. The back of the bag boasts a pocket, and the gussets and base have an interesting pieced finish with ties to gather the gussets a little and finish it off perfectly.
