Well, I have now completed my week in the shop covering for Jane’s holiday.

First off, I hope that she and her family had a brilliant week, and that they return fully refreshed and recharged.

Secondly, for those who have never run a small shop before Wowee it is hard work. And I did no designing or sewing or quilting as Jane would have done. I did cut some fabrics from the bolt into fat quarters and then bag them. I did label those bags until the label gun broke in my hand. I did deliver several boxes of fabrics to Carno. Else, I did little but for the visitors we had to the shop in Corris Uchaf.

Many Thanks to them, it would have been very lonely without them.

To all those who drove past wrapped up in rugs and blankets to escape the summer chill — drop in next time we have some very exclusive alternatives to said wraps in the form of quilts of all sizes.

For all those who have ordered from our online fabric shop here these will be dispatched tomorrow as I said in my confirmation emails.

All that remains for me to do now is to collect the unsold fabrics from Carno later today.

But, if you are in the northern part of Powys do not forget to visit Carno and/or Llanidloes for their quilting exhibitions – you will find, I’m sure, very few more agreeable ways of spending a Sunday.

Meanwhile, thanks again to all my visitors this week – till the next time, as Jane returns tomorrow so normal business and quilting restarts then.
