The Tent Makers of Cairo

Back in September we were lucky enough to visit the West Country Quilt Show, at the UWE just outside Bristol, where Valerie learnt about The Tent Makers of Cairo – truly amazing craftsmen. We get to see the extraordinary designs and fabrics developed from a very traditional and ancient textile tradition which for practical reasons, was originally a male dominated industry.. Watch Now+

Vintage pinkeepers with Mandy Shaw

In this lovely workshop from Mandy she shares with us a great idea for making little pin keepers and she has found a great use for the old, but beautiful embroidery that is often lurking in cupboards. They are easy to make and you get to learn about ladder stitch and blanket stitch – both stitches that Mandy uses a lot and finds very useful.
