Exciting times ahead


This week it has been all hands on deck as we have had countless boxes arriving filled with gorgeousness. Fabrics, patterns, magazines, kits, books and stitchery panels. There has been lots of cutting and labelling and adding new products online.

At the same time we have been preparing kits and goodies for those who are coming to our first workshop offerings since 2020. We are all super excited to welcome Gail Pan to the shop on Tuesday and Wednesday. We are buzzing to have customers back on site creating and sewing together and to have the opportunity to work with Gail fresh from her visit to the Festival of Quilts. We are also excited to be able to offer more workshops within the next few months. Our new workshop space we hope to have operational for regular groups by October and offer workshops for Christmas. Watch this space!

We have two new editions of popular magazines, Quiltmania and Simply Moderne plus the stunning 2024 calendar from Inspirations. Also from Quiltmania are restocked books including those from Jo Colwill and Sue Stichbury.

The July issue of Tilda Lovers Club has arrived. A lovely bag designed by Claire Turpin.

Two new festive ranges are adding more colour and fun to our Christmas collections. Blizzard by Sweetwater and Ombre blender fabrics from Moda. We are busy cutting them but there is a sneak preview below.

A lot of customers have been waiting for the stitchery panels from Natalie Bird. Heartstrings, Willowbrook and Make Ready for Christmas are on the cutting table as I type. We also have another supply of the Owl and Hare border fabric.

As always, enjoy your sewing and have a wonderful week.
Best wishes

Magazines

New in are two beautiful magazines, Quiltmania and Simply Moderne.
Both magazines have exquisitely illustrated articles and projects to inspire and create.
Plus the sumptuous Inspirations Calendar for 2024 brim full of lush designs.

Stitchery Panels

We can never seem to stock enough of these stitchery panels from Natalie Bird despite the number we order in each time all the way from Oz! They are great little stitchery projects which are easily transportable, so a perfect holiday project!

Also from The Birdhouse is the border fabric for Owl and Hare.
We stock the Owl and Hare extra wide backing too!

Tilda Lovers Club

We always look forward to opening the Tilda Lovers Club when it arrives each month. This month is a gorgeous bag from Claire Turpin using Bloomsville range and it can be completed with Tilda Solids or Chambrays. Most of our issues are ordered for subscribers but we sometimes have a few left. If you want to make sure you don't miss any issues then contact us to sign up to receive one every two months.

Beautiful books

More stock of Quiltmania Books are back in store along with the newspiral bound booklet from Lori Holt - Quilter's Cottage. Full of ideas for a quilt and smaller bonus projects.

Blizzard by Sweetwater

This gorgeous range is ready and waiting to be cut and added online (we will be frantically cutting this week & will revisit next week when we have more to show you). Click on the photo to see when it is all there including a stunning quilt pattern. We just couldn't resist sharing it with you now.
