July has tiptoed away - almost - which means that is on again… this Saturday, 1st August from 10am - 3pm.

It’s been a busy July.. family visiting from afar, a special birthday, lots of rain, shuffling fabrics in the shop, lots of new bits in the shop, an unexpected dunk in the creek whilst clearing debris washed downstream in the rain (my neighbour now calls me “The Mermaid” 🧜‍♀️ catching up with old friends.. and so it goes.

A little stitching on my next block of the by on wool with fabrics for the baskets, and - all available in store.

As always, tea/coffee etc provided on Saturday.
This is not a teaching day - but I’m here if you get stuck 😊

is on again… this Saturday, 6th June from 10am till 3pm.

I’ve started big stitch hand quilting my Garden Variety Quilt using Garden Variety Wovens by Anna Maria Textiles. The quilting thread is Eleganza Perle #8.

Please note - my “big stitch” quilting is tongue-in-cheek.. it’s actually bigger than my usual quilting stitch - by a whisker 🤣

As always tea/coffee etc provided.
This is not a teaching day - but I’m here if you get stuck 😊

Please let me know if you are coming.

Today, 11th May, is the day we celebrate as my little pup’s birthday. She is 12 today and I thought I would make her a birthday cake.. something I don’t normally do - but did today..
A mulberry muffin, complete with candle..
Notice she was completely avoiding the muffin - didn’t even look at it - and evacuated the room.. until the candle had been blown out and the muffin chopped up 🤣
She is my little down-to-earth, no-nonsense girl.. happy birthday Pop ❤️
