Corris Uchaf, Wales
Introducing the people you meet at ‘Bumble Bee Quilting’.
Heya Everybody, I’m Cassie,
I’m 15 years old and live about 5 miles away from Corris, which is a place called Machynlleth.
I live there with my mum, dad and sister. And go to a school called “Ysgol Bro Ddyfi”. It is a good school, and I will be going back there after my GCSE’S to do my A-LEVELS.
On the weekends, I like going out with my mates, I enjoy shopping and going to the cinema with them!!
Every Saturday, I work at Bumble Bee Quilting at Corris Craft Centre, I love working here, because I get on really well with Jane and her Family, and they are very nice and very friendly.
Recently in the shop, I’ve been cutting really colourful fabrics for new kits that Jane has decided to make.
I have been working at ‘Bumble Bee’ for nearly a year and I really enjoy it =]

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
Kids enjoyed themselves

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
Children’s Day

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
Cutting Fabric
about 2 weeks ago - 2 comments
As we all know, the design process for a new quilt not only involves the creation of shapes in coloured fabrics with stitching patterns, but also includes the templates for the cut fabric. This process is perhaps the most enjoyable for me, followed closed by the creation process where you sew the top together and
The Quilt Index

Found this when looking for something else, just as you do. It seems such a good idea as well, catalogue properly all quilts that it can, together with details of the quilter and where it is currently housed. Not sure I can say much more as a whole waft of the website is about copyright
Corris Show

It is the Corris Show on Sat 4th September 2010 The usual type of village show including veg, fruit & flowers, and handicrafts. I’m thinking of putting an entry into the handicrafts section. But, I’m also thinking that I should stay away from all the fabric sections, most especially patchwork and quilting. That just would

Just stumbled upon a picture of the Heroine of our tale as discussed here. So here she is (with just a hint of her work in progress at the bottom of the picture) although looking very much less animated than usual probably because of the camera! Ladies and Gentlemen – may I present Ollie of

Stitched: art quilter documentary
about 3 weeks ago - 2 comments
A film about quilting? Or perhaps more pertinently a film about quilting against time, against tradition and against other adverse circumstances? We can all identify with at least two of these and maybe the other as well. Stitched: art quilter documentary. Should be an eye-opener, I hope to catch the full version when released, but
