There's a lot going on behind the scenes in my very own shop. I've been having a bit of a declutter and spaces are appearing, they are teeny-tiny spaces and you probably won't even notice them but I know they are there. Many cardboard bolt centres had only a very small amount of fabric on them so I folded them neatly and discounted them, along with buttons and some thread. There are only a few fabric pieces left now and my rooting rack has gone back in the store cupboard (like a loo!)
It's all a work in progress.
Sister Suzie has been waiting for a sandwich making opportunity... kids on school holidays, Bank Holidays and a quilt show got in the way a bit but yesterday she was able to get it done. It's the 'Not Ugly Birdhouse Quilt'. Suzie's largest project to date... we will watch this one as it's quilted.
There are no longer 'regular' classes in my shop on Fridays which is good for catching up on jobs in the shop, like cutting a gazillion Fat Quarters, or for special request workshops. It's a good day to pop in if you need a little help choosing your projects and fabrics.
Fridays and Saturdays are available for workshops or for small groups to book to spend a luxurious day sewing with help on hand, should they need it. It's great customer service really!!

A lot folk lost the urge to get sewing during this pandemic. Groups have folded and shops have closed... But I AM STILL HERE!!!! So if you want to, you can book my classroom for you and your very own chums to have your very own one day sewing retreat.
Linda had this cow appliqued all ready for finishing. There's lovely embroidery detail on madam too, it's funny how cows are huge, bumbling creatures and somehow we see them as cute! This is going to be finished as a cushion, a Cute Cow Cushion!
Gina had purchased a pattern and templates to make a king sized Double Wedding Ring gifting quilt. She declared that she wasn't confident with the cutting so I stepped in and helped there. She went home very happy with loads of sewing homework!
Sally had a new machine to master. When I say new... she's had it for ages (2 years) but it was a first outing on Friday. Most machines work the same way so it wasn't too tricky. She finished her quilting and got the binding sewn on. Next time Sally comes I'll show her a few binding top tips as she said she doesn't really know how to get mitred corners.
Our Pam has piles again!!!
Watch this space!
