Stitching News

Enid made a beginner cushion recently... not at a workshop though, she came to a few  weekday class sessions to make hers. Now she wants to make a quilt and really likes the one I made called Floribunda... there's a picture of it on the sidebar. We chose Enid's fabrics and set about making a test block... didn't she do well... she surprised her very own self... 

Jean Bean set up 'creative corner'... it's a steady and gently paced part in my shop... no rushing goes on there (not until the week the quilt is due for that is!!!) but... there has been a whole block made and several little block centres have been started! Do you know the story of The Tortoise And The Hair... not that Jean is racing with anyone but her very own self.

Carol was like a kiddie at playschool... carefully choosing her 'painting' colours then tracing and snipping and gluing ans sticking... then stitching and clipping.... She's making a soft play book with a pattern from our Kids Quilts range.

Annbacan had a brilliant idea.... She wants to make a kiddie cube...
All of the sides will have interesting things on them... fish, letters, Winnie The Pooh... there will be a zip and it will be washabubble... that's a tall idea eh...
Fish number two stuck in place. Both splendid fish were drawn by our resident artist... Jean Bean... who can work at the speed of light for other people... she drew them licketty-split after listening to Ann's brilliant and quirky cube idea.... Ann was delighted
