Good Bye – Corris Craft Centre
Nov 1st
We are preparing to leave Corris Craft Centre by the middle of this month.
Its been a good few years, but the ever increasing costs in a recession have forced our hands.
However, its not goodbye to Bumble Bee Quilting – we shall be relocating to an old shop in Corris Uchaf (Upper Corris) just 1/2 mile north of teh Craft Centre towrds Dolgellau.
Find the Pottery in Corris Uchaf, and we are about 200 yards up the hill on the opposite side.
So, for all our seasoned guests, just come on up and visit us again; and to the rest – give us a go for all your fabric and quilting notions. You might be pleasantly suprised by a cup of tea as well ….
We shall continue to provide seating for spouses, and we shll continue with our courses as before. Even better – we can now provide accommodation (subject to availability) as well.
So, see you in Corris Uchaf …..

New to quilting ?
Jul 30th
Have you a latent interest in quilting, a burning desire to sew, but not sure where to start ?
You want to end up with something like this, a fairly simple design that any one can make?
log cabin design
Now you can – we have put together kits together with fabrics and full instructions that will set you on your way – colours may vary. Ideal for machine or hand sewing,
Can be used by the novice upwards.
Experience the pleasure of working with textiles and colours to create something lasting and worthwhile.
Come and see our range at our shop at Corris Craft Centre, Machynlleth, Powys, Mid Wales
Maldwyn Quilters – Carno weekend
Jul 27th
Just realised that this is the 4th year that I’ve attended this prestigious quilting festival in Carno, and the 6th year the event has been held
Enjoyed every moment, met many new quilters and I have really enjoyed seeing your creations, quilts and otherwise.
Also, I must commend your choice of fabrics in your quilts (I think I may have recognised some I have previous sold you!!!!)
Anyway, another resounding success – here’s to next year….
PS – to all of you who bought tickets from me for the draw on 26-July-2009 to raise funds for Hope House Hospice and BBC Children in Need— Sorry, but better luck next time.
The group also presented 6 lap quilts for the charity Linus UK.
As you missed out on the Carno draw, tickets for the Teresa Anna Quilt in aid of Breast Cancer Research are still on sale in the shop. The draw for this charity quilt will conclude the “Pink Weekend” at Corris Craft Centre on 25th October 2009
Carno weekend
Jul 23rd
I shall be at Carno for their annual quilting exhibition this comming weekend, but the shop will be staffed as normal.
We shall be open at Corris Craft Centre 10:30 – 17:00 approx, and the needle felting will be available for you all to join in and let your artisitic skills shine – just have fun and play with felt…. No-one’s too old or too young
Else, come to Carno, join in with the Maldwyn Quilters’ exhibitions and workshops. Don’t forget – Carno Community Centre, Powys, Mid Wales – open Fri-Sun
National Cask Ale Week
Apr 11th
We’ve been stitched up …. not only spending the day slaving over hot needles and threads we’re now helping out at the Braich Goch Inn, Corris, with their contribution towards CAMRA‘s Cask Ale Week. Open all this Easter weekend.
All in a good cause though……
So, spend the day in the Craft Centre and enjoy the warm Welsh spring day, and spend the evening sampling some fine real cask ales in the company of those delightful and exceedingly knowlidgable folk from the Braich Goch Cask Ale Society; some of whom can actually spell and ruminate over delicate hoppy flavours, occasionally at the same time.
Shop closed today – Illness

Our patchwork and quilting shop at Corris Craft Centre is closed today, 9-April-2009.

Apologies to all our customers, the perils of being such a small micro-business…..
UPDATE - Improved, and open as usual today (10-April-2009) … hope to see lots of you in Corris today
Introducing the people you meet at ‘Bumble Bee Quilting’.
Mar 22nd
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 =]
