Festival of Quilts
This event is now behind us but it was great to see so many of you and also our lucky Facebook ticket winners; dates for next year are 11-14th August 2016. As well as catching up with our contributors Valerie did LOTS of shopping (and not just for herself!) so keep an eye on the Shop for the new products.
New Video Layout
We have recently upgraded and improved our video system on the website, as some of the eagle eyed amongst you may have spotted. It will also help those of you who may have recently experienced difficulties seeing the videos, caused by browser updates.
For those of you unsure about the new controls, here’s a picture to help you, but if you still need help just click here to contact Juliet with your queries.
Happy Sewing
Valerie & Jennie
