Corris Uchaf, Wales
The builders commeth
On a cold, damp, blustery day in our craft centre in Corris, Mid Wales, the builders commeth.
They have removed the whole of the front to our craft unit and are in the process of fitting the frame for the new front. Very cold at the moment, we are struggling to do any quilting as the fingers freeze on the needles. But this should be over soon.
Hopefully by the weekend you will see a nice new shiny shop front with lots of glass to let in the light to help us sew and to better display all our textile products and our quilting fabrics.
Lets hope this proves to be the end of our ram raiding nuisence.

Frosty Fingers

Been busy in the shop – trying to combat Ye Olde Jack Frost, preparing for Saturday and finishing all the (late) Christmas commissions. I have prevailed somewhat in that I have beaten numbed fingers and I have now finished all the outstanding commissions; and before you tell me that Christmas passed by several weeks ago,

Corris Show

It’s that time of year again in the village – time for the village show. The occasion where everyone can show off their exhibits from crafts to cakes to vegetables. After threatening to enter “something” for so many years, I have eventually taken the plunge. I am entering a mini flower arrangement. It’s about 4.5
Corris Music Festival

The rolling hills of southern Snowdonia will rock for 4 nights commencing 2nd September 2010 to the sounds of bands, singing, choirs and general harmless frivolity. Corris Music Festival again hits the scene of this largely forgotten corner of Wales under the watchful eye of the Mother Mountain – Cadair Idris. With most of the
Celtic Knotwork designs (1)
about 1 year ago - Comments Off
I have a commission which I have worked on bit by bit over the past few weeks. As you all know only too well, design for another is an iterative process, especially when locations are far flung. Anyway, the idea was to create a celtic knotwork inspired quilt top, with a post-modernist fairly strict geometric

Ah Well – the kids had a field day … for it was indeed their day. Mostly lousy weather so they were all dry and safe indoors being constructive and learning new worthwhile crafting skills, as well as using some imagination. Designing, choosing fabrics and colours, sewing and needlefelting. Every single one of them managed

Monday 23-Aug-2010 is Children’s Day at Bumble Bee Quilting. The shop will be buzzing to the happy sound of young ‘uns beavering away, being creative and learning something about needlework and quilting whilst they are about it. We hope to demonstrate basic design techniques, colour matching and the processes involved in putting it all together
Patience

Perhaps that should read Patience and Trigonometry. And this is not a new card game with triangular cards. I am creating patchwork squares for a new quilt top. These squares are made up in part of triangles. These I overcut. This is far better than undercutting, but a pain in the proverbial I’d rather do

how do I attach a 3inch finished sleeve to a piece of work. I know I attach it under the edge binding but do I pull the material tight? What should the original width of the material be? Desperate for information. LILY
