Workshops

Jennie’s Stripy Stripey Story Quilt started  last week with the Night Sky and next week she will be sharing with us the Flying Geese  row .  As usual with Jennie you get instructions not only on how to create the row but lots of other ideas and inspiration for future projects! Watch Now+

Don’t forget that we can offer fabrics and wadding to make the quilt exactly like Jennie’s  

Do you have an unfinished project in the corner waiting to have a border added – if so did you catch Valerie’s very helpful tip last week for adding borders to your quilt – it’s especially useful if you find that your quilt gets the better of you at this stage Watch Now+ 

This week Jennie invites us all for tea together with a little bit of history of why the milk should go in first! The tea-cosy will come in handy if you are planning to celebrate this year with the Queen on her birthday on 21st April;  and this is also the 200th anniversary of Charlotte  Bronte’s birth – so pop the kettle on. Watch Now+ 

Throwback Thursday

Did you catch our Throwback Thursday with the caddy pad – this mobile travelling iron pad is really handy for classes and travelling as it does what it says- it’s an ironing pad and keeps you from burning yourself when packing up.   The pattern contains enough Heat Resistant Fabric (HRF) for one pad BUT we have more HRF in the shop so you can make more! Watch Now+ 

Interviews

Janet Clare talks to us about The Wordsmith range  of fabric she designed  for Moda and which support her really lovely book of the same name- which is our Book of the Month;  it really is delightful;  full of little sayings and treats as well as the patterns for the Alphabet quilt, the Memory Quilt and the Poetry Quilt;  definitely a book to have with you and/or at the bedside. Watch Now+
