A couple of days
Aug 18th
And a couple of busy ones at that. Its been hell for leather in the shop. Lots of visitors, some new and some long-standing. But I enjoyed speaking and working with all, thanks ….
I’ve not done much yet to mend the quilt top I mentioned before here, but I have taken some time to look over all the completed squares and maybe it’s not quite as drastic as I thought earlier. Won’t really know till I start unpicking in earnest.
But I haven’t been entirely idle, nor spent all the time in frivolity with my visitors.
We have seen quite a few people of all ages having a go with needlefelting, either by machine or by hand, and crafting their own designs with felt and nothing more except some exceptional imagination and creativity.
I have also been busy making fabric items for a charity fair, to be held sometime before Christmas. I have made several Welsh themed cushion covers, some fabric Christmas decorations, and quite a few cake or pastry covers with different but seasonal motifs. Hopefully the fair will raise a bundle for their charity. When I have more details, I’ll share them. But for the two days I have been joined again by Hazel – and some fun but creative time we’ve had as well..
Tea Time now ……
Holidays
Jul 18th
Yea — I’m going on my holiday tomorrow with my family for a break in the wilderness of Center Parks and then for a weekend with youngest at his home.
Really looking forward to it – an escape and a complete break.
Anyway, looking forward to the location, relaxing and being with my loved ones …. my assistant will be in the shop all week – so its almost business as usual. Be warned however, he cannot sew for a toffee. Otherwise he’ll try to do you justice, is enthusiastic and helpful …
Needlefelting will also open for you to enjoy your creativity with felt
I’ll still logon and update if I can – let me know of any problems ….
Byeeee — See You all in a week xxxxx

- First course is a taster day for ‘Needle-Felting’ run by Pfaff demonstrator, Sheila.
Monday 27th April, 10am – 3pm approx, only 10 places available. £5 booking fee is the only cost to you. (check the full details on our homepage.
-Coming soon – ‘Stained Glass’ SPRING… dates & times TBC. Course to be run by Local Quilter – Kay Anderson.
3. To get up and running a small newsletter (email/hardcopy) email me if you would be interested in receiving this by email… January issue 1 is done so (ticked) to that as well
My Daugher Jemma, my spouse and Cassie (who you may have met on Saturdays) will hopefully be helping me to make our blog busier, with greater news and content… so to all who still read this and to all new readers – Thanks for bearing with my ramblings
