Pinning has begun!!
We have started pinning poppies into our cascade fabric and hoping that it’s all going to start pulling together. Thank you so much to everyone who has made and donated poppies so far! We’ve still got several metres to go….. 😅

Our second advent panel sample is finished and up on display! This is the beautiful Nutcracker panel from @makoweruk , backed in their Dimples blender in Christmas Red.
The number squares for this one are individually made and stitched on, so it’s a little bit of a longer project in comparison to the Adorn panel we have which is a sneaky fold and stitch option.
Big thanks to Julie for stitching all of our Christmas panel samples for us!!

Our September in pictures! We’ve had a lot of new stock in to kick start the cosy season and start of Christmas shopping. 🍂
We’ve also welcome a new team member!! Margie will be in the shop on Fridays and makes her own beautiful clothes so has great advice for patterns and fabrics. Come and say hi!
We’ve had some fab workshops, although didn’t manage to photograph all of them, named our yarn throwing ghost, and been busy with lots of planning for our upcoming events and for next year! Lots of exciting things to come in October - sign up to our fortnightly newsletter so you don’t miss out!

If you are looking for something to do over the October half term week, we will have a little selection of Take Away or Stay and Play kits for you to drop in and have a go at. (Halloween and autumn themed of course!)
You can either sit and create in our studio space with our additional craft supplies/tools or take them home to complete. Instructions will be provided with the different packs.
There will be a small fee depending on the craft to cover our material costs.
No age limits, just make something for the joy of making something!!
These are first come first served drop in sessions. The studio space and packs will be available from 9.30am-12.30pm on each drop in day.

We’ve had a top up of @makoweruk blenders and cotton solids arrive in the shop this week. The colours have been picked to complement prints that we already have in, and some new collections due in at the beginning of October!
📸 1-4 : Spraytime in Christmas Green, Midnight and Daffodil
📸 5-8 : Linen Texture in Moss, Sapphire and Vanilla
📸 9-12 : Spectrum Cotton Solid in Ocean, Vintage Pink and Antique White
📸 13-14 : Dimples in Avocado
These colours are really lovely and hopefully fill in some colour gaps in our craft cottons. They are all 100% cotton and 110cm wide.

❤️ Poppy Project Reminder ❤️
We can’t thank you enough for all of the poppies received so far! There is still quite a lot of space to fill in our planned cascade though so if you are able to, we would love more poppies!! Knitted, crocheted, felted, stitched… however you prefer to make them. We need them by the last week in October please.
Swipe to see some of the gorgeous poppies we’ve had in so far!
A reminder if you are posting some in to us, to please put a note in with your name and email address so that we can add you to our list of installation participants, and email you some photos when it’s up!
