Our next mini batch of bolts have arrived. These Japanese fabrics are gorgeous. As well as the five bolts, we have charm packs. The charm packs have forty 5x5" squares from a large range of Japanese cottons.

  

  

 

The Pirates Are Coming!

Run for the hills! The Pirates have arrived!

Four new bolts of fabric from Makower, all with a pirate theme. They are great for patchwork and quilting, for dressmaking, or even curtains for a child's bedroom.

 

 

Makower Landscapes

These luscious fabrics are from Makower's Landscape collection. They are stunning. Over the next few months we will be buying more fabrics from this range.

 

 

 

Around the World

It's always exciting when new bolts of fabric arrive. We've had over 50 bolts delivered this month, with a few more to come. About 30 were plains or semi-plains, but there are some more exciting ones too.

This is from Makower's "Around the World" collection.

 

  

 

Footsie Dress

 

"Footsie", not just for feet!

Pam has knitted this beautiful little dress in King Cole Footsie, in the colourway 'Strawberry'. The yarn is marketed as a sock yarn, but it looks fantastic made into a dress too.

Heart Quilt

 

The shop looked a bit bare after the Christmas decorations came down. We decided to decorate with hearts. 

It's good working with two other quilters. One starts a project, and then we each progress it. Quilts fairly whizz along this way!.

Butterick Sale

 

All Butterick patterns are on sale, 50% off. The sale starts today, and ends on the 29th of January.

New Year Resolutions

 

New Year resolutions often work best if you don't start them on the 1st of January. It seems to be if you get back into your normal, non-holiday, routine it's easier to give them a good go.

This year, Laura plans on making (or re-making) one item of clothing each month. Janet is looking to make a serious dent in her WIPs and UFOs (Work In Progress and UnFinished Objects).

What are your resolutions and goals?
