Wednesday 9:30am-4pm

It’s that time of year again where lots of people have started crafting for autumn, Halloween and Christmas. My favourite time of year! The nights are drawing in…which incidentally whenever anyone says that to me I’m reminded of my Grandad, it was his favourite saying and came out literally the day after the longest day of the year šŸ˜‚ I’d inwardly eye roll and chuckle whenever he said it!

But for me, I love nothing more than sitting by the fire sewing/crocheting/knitting in an evening and this time of year you’ll rarely see me in an evening without one of those projects on the go!

This week felt has been making it’s usual autumn comeback šŸ˜‚ as lots of you are busy crafting decorations and all sorts so today’s post is just a reminder that we do indeed have felt. In pieces or on the roll, and theres around 50 different colours to choose from so hopefully we’ve got you covered!

Everyone who’s attending the workshop with me tomorrow will be happily playing with felt and fabric…well that’s the plan at least anyway!

Have a wonderful day all 🌈

Momma G has just whipped up this cute ABC quilt using the panel, but adding some extra fabric to jolly it up 😃

Since we come from a farming background we always love it when we find farm themed prints. When I grew up we had dairy cows and a few chickens so this really reminds me of my childhood šŸ„ šŸ“ by adding the fabric squares it’s made the panel a better shape for a quilt….not quite as long and thin!

You could cut the panel up just like mum has and add any fabrics you like. You don’t have to stick to the farm theme like we have, but If you’d like to make it just like hers then we’ve got all the fabrics to make it the same way.

Panels are Ā£9.80 - if you’d like one saving let me know and I’ll be sure to do that for you.

Have a wonderful day all šŸ«¶šŸ»

A conversation starter to share with you today….!

As most of you will know we have an extensive collection of Christmas fabrics, and lots of fabrics with metallic detail…. Personally I love the fabrics with this details added, but I do appreciate it’s not for everyone, it can be a marmite thing.

Our most recent delivery of ā€˜metallic blenders’ are in. A couple of them quite Christmassy and the others less so. Except this time there’s one big difference….they’re not actually metallic! They’ve been cleverly printed to look like it, and on our shelves you’d probably never notice!

So what do you think? Would you prefer the finish to these without the actual metallic?

Needless to say, they’re cleverly designed and printed, and a welcome addition to our collections. You’ll have to check them out when you’re next in- see if you can spot them!

As ever if you need anything today just get in touch, lots of amazing things in our little shop for you to take home and get making!!

Have a wonderful day all šŸŽ„

ā„ļøĀ£30 which is split - Ā£15 deposit to reserve your place, remaining Ā£15 paid on the day of the workshop.

A reminder that I’m running another workshop in a couple of weeks to make these table centrepieces, and there’s a couple of spaces left, this one I’ve made completely by hand except from attaching the binding…so there’s no need to bring your machine. So if you fancy a workshop where we simply put one of these together and hand sew in a relaxed friendly environment all day then get in touch to book your place.

I’ve thoroughly enjoyed putting these together - the starting point is the pictorial fabric but you can change the rest of the material colours to your own preference if you don’t want to make them exactly like mine, there’s plenty of options from our extensive fabric and felt collection 🤣 I could have made quite a few different samples! Lots of options being picked, so I’m looking forward to seeing what you all create on the day. As yet nobody will be making one just like mine - I love it when you all experiment šŸ™ŒšŸ»

It is possible to make them on the machine. If you’d rather make one on the machine then you can still do that too - you’ll just need to bring your machine to the workshop with you.

Any questions drop me a message and if you want to book on you can drop me a comment or message or give us a call on 01772780998.

Have a wonderful day all ā„ļø

Thursday - bonus post

I’ve just been cutting some extra wide backing for a customer and come across not one but two breaks in the fabric šŸ™„ neither of them big enough for her quilt. So before I wind them back on (hugely annoying) I wondered if anyone needs any extra wid in a white on cream?? It’s a pretty print!!

First piece is 1.6m ( 62ā€ x 108ā€) Ā£38.40

Second piece is 2m ( 78ā€ x 108ā€) Ā£48

Let me know if you’d like to order either piece and I’ll pop them to one side for you!

Have a lovely day everyone šŸ«¶šŸ»

Saturday 21st November

Over the last few years a few of you have shown an interest in me hosting some workshops to share some of my more personal quilts and techniques with you. When I recently shared a post to ask who’d be interested I was quite overwhelmed by the feedback 🄰 so as a result I’m going to be holding some ā€˜slow stitch’ workshops where we can all just sit, chat and sew wherever the needle takes us.

I know that this has been high on the list for a few of you, it takes time to dye the fabrics that I’ll be putting together into kits for you along with other things. And all the best things take time!! We’re not working towards making anything huge, just a couple of small samples…but enough to learn some bits and bobs and rekindle the love of hand sewing.

If you’d like to attend either of the workshop dates or you’d like some more information then simply get in touch and I’ll happily send over more information. There was a huge list of enquiries when I initially dropped this here, so if you do miss this time or you aren’t available for the dates above, then don’t worry there will probably be more dates…at some point!

Did you know that my degree is in Embroidery?! If you asked me to choose one of my all time favourite crafts it would be like asking which of my children is my favourite…all I know is is I started this journey in handicrafts at 3 making a hand stitched Christmas decoration and here I am over 30 years later still loving every stitch I make 🄰

And just for some little bits of joy, here’s some close up images of my first rust dyed quilt. Dyed with some precious things - you’ll get to hear all about it in the workshops 🄰

Wednesday 9:30am-4pm

I didn’t get anything done yesterday, after the weekend I haven’t caught up on sleep and I just felt like I was floating around on a cloud somewhere not really in the room. But thank you all for the lovely well wishes for Izzy ā¤ļø Maybe today will be better šŸ¤žšŸ¼

Someone mentioned snowmen yesterday….šŸ‘€so I couldn’t resist sharing one of my all time favourite panels today. šŸ˜‚ Sorry Gina (not sorry)! It’s absolutely beautiful šŸ˜ and I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again…we can’t be friends if you don’t like it šŸ˜‚ so be careful what you say!!

I absolutely love Hannah Dale’s Wrendale Designs and these fabrics and panel absolutely do not disappoint.

If you’d like a panel it’s Ā£12.50, we’ve got just 4 panels left, fat quarters of the coordinating fabrics are Ā£4, plus we’ve got some more Wrendale fabrics including a fabric covered in the jolly robins (and you definitely need a piece of that šŸ˜‚) ā¤ļø

So if you’d like to order a panel today then let me know and I’ll be sure to save you one. If there’s anything else we can help you with then be sure to get in touch.

A reminder that today it’s knit & natter at QQHQ, there’s two sessions, morning and afternoon. If you fancy joining us for either session, just get in touch. As always, all money raised at the sessions goes to charity ā¤ļø

Today I’ll be continuing with this week’s crochet along instalment, just one week left to go after this week! Looking forward to putting the blocks altogether - I’ll keep you all posted!

Tuesday 9:30am-4pm

Well after a very yarn heavy week last week I’ll be sure to share lots of fabrics with you this week!

Plenty of joy to share over the week. And since it’s still early in the month it’s time for a bargain box post!

As always I’ll add a comment to each photo with the fabric number, description, size and price.

Buy 3 or more pieces and receive a further 10% off all of your fabric choices.

Lots of sorting for me to do in the shop today (when isn’t there?), it’s a constant thing and I know you’ve all grown to love that I can’t sit or stand still!

The sixth week of the autumn crochet along that I’m doing is released today so I’ll certainly look forward to cracking on with that tonight! šŸ šŸ‚

Monday - closed (as always)

A few of you asked if Mark & I had made any gifts for our anniversary this year….we didn’t but we both bought gifts to make together.

This weekend we made something, this is one of the kits that Mark bought for me, that we decided to do together with the children. We each made one of these mosaic coasters….can you guess who made which one?

This weekend we had our first ever visit from the tooth fairy, she had a busy weekend as she had to come back the following night for the second one! Izzy now has a huge gap at the bottom…it was definitely time, they’ve been wobbly for so long!

We also had a little visit to hospital because she was struggling to breathe in the early hours of Sunday morning, she was seen super quickly by some wonderful doctors and nurses. We were soon home armed with an inhaler and she’s improvingā¤ļø

I’ll be ready for a rest at work tomorrow after our rollercoaster of a weekend šŸ˜…

Have a lovely day all 🧚
