There is a lot of sewing happening in my classroom but, as I've mentioned before, I can't show you any pictures. I could tell you that it's all secret sewing but the truth is, though a lot is secret work, I just haven't remembered to take pictures. Luckily, some customer remind me!

I'm not sure a title of Stitching News is realistic. There is a lot of stitching getting done, but it's secret sewing time, so I can't show you. Not that I've had a minute to take pictures anyway.
You will, I hope, be pleased to know that most of the last large order of new fabrics has been found a home, either on a shelf or in a trolley, it took some sorting I can tell you. There's not a lot of wiggle room on my shelves! All their Fat Quarters are sorted (the new fabrics) and ready for you too.
Then last weekend, I ran out of the wonderful, and very popular, 6-Packs for the Eye Spy quilts. They take a long time to prepare with 31 x 6 inch squares in each pack with no repeating designs.
As it's now December, of course you noticed! It's crazy in the 'other' shops! I keep my shop pretty calm for you, no jingle bells tunes, no white Christmas etc, at all!
That leads me to Holiday Time opening hours for my very own shop. Decisions have now been made with the class ladies, so here goes, please take note:-
The last shopping day is Saturday 21st December.
Then it will be all closed up for Sewing Prevention Season.
My shop will re-open, and be getting back to normal-ness on Tuesday 7th January.
That's not too tricky to remember is it?

A Yappy Advent Calendar! I have Cat Advent panels too.
And... there's still just enough time to make one for your very own cat or dog, or human!

Christmas Corner has been very popular in my little shop this week. Advent Calendars are being stitched, Festive Buntings strung, little bags and table toppers made for gifting, it's been a very Christmassy themed week. I'm not a massive fan of Christmas, except for the holiday it gives! but I do like all the festive stuff we make.
In my classroom though, lots of inspiring sewing has happened...

Friday this week, was a sandwich making day again. All part of the excellent customer service I like to offer, saving your back and your knees from el mucho pain-o. In between sandwich making and shop customers I was able to do a lot of I was sorting out in my Christmas Corner. It's a very popular corner this week and the Fat Quarters all needed topping up, I still haven't finished cutting the Fat Quarters but I did find a couple of bolts of fabric that I had hidden behind the shelves. In particular, Advent Panels. I have way too many for a little Christmas Corner. More on that later, and it might be interesting.

Half way through October already! Where is the time going? It's true, the older I get the faster the days pass by. I have spent quite a few luxurious minutes in Quilty Quarters since returning from our lovely retreat. I wanted to get my Randolph & Rudy quilt finished.
