Shop News – December 2011

Dare we say it but Christmas is fast approaching and we’ve already sold out of most Advent Calendars and they’re only a few stockings left. Rob reckons it’s because of his new shelving, being able to display things so much better. Verona’s of the view that it’s her choice of fabrics. Why is she always right?!

We had a really wonderful response to our Quilt show in July, raising £2500 over the two days which does not include the Prize Quilt raffle which is still ongoing till the 16th December. Thank you to everybody who helped in so many ways. Along with other fund raising we sent just under £3000 to the orphanage in Thailand. We had a letter back recently to say that although the building is safe, the roads and surrounding homes have been washed away in the dreadful floods. The orphanage is therefore also being used as a refuge for the homeless! …and we think we are going through hard times!

We have now released the new class and workshop programme. We will now publish the programme twice yearly rather than three times. If you would like to receive the new programmes by email as soon as they are released please click here to sign up.

We have a wonderful new Lynette Anderson fabric coming in very shortly from Lecien. If her last, “Scandinavian Christmas” was anything to go by it won’t be in the shop very long. Also starting in January, we will be running a block of the month “William Morris” by In the Beginning Fabrics, please call for details. As you know we have new fabrics coming in all the time so don’t be too long before you pay us another visit.

All that remains is to thank you all for your support and wish you a Very Happy and Healthy Christmas and New Year.

May God Bless us All .
