Not bad is it? Where would we be without good old IKEA though?!
Here are some of our lovely quirky hand printed and dyed fabrics ready for sale. See those white bags? They are our new workshop kits and here are three happy ladies...
They are proudly wearing their Sari silk flower brooches they have just made in a workshop with Hazel. If you would like to make one but can't make it to Sandown this weekend, then come and find us in the Quick and Easy workshops at this year's Festival of Quilts at the NEC in August. We are also running little foundation logcabin pincushion workshops. Each last an hour and you receive a kit containing all the fabrics ( which we hand dyed, especially for you!) wadding and threads you will need, you just need to add some wadding ( or sharp sand for a needle keeper) and a few stitches.
Talking of thread and a few stitches, did you spot our new market aprons, specially made for the event? Using fabric from our hand dyed stash they were quickly run up last night ready for us to keep everything to hand on show day. We received many compliments too ;-)

To keep staff spirits high we have new snack trays ( from the UKs favourite grocer, naturally) complete with healthy dried mango pieces, strawberries, vegetable crisps,and, oh yes, the cyclist's favourite snack, jelly babies!
It's always lovely when someone we know wins a rosette, this time it was Dot with her 'Dear Jane' quilt. It has been a long time in the making, Dot started it many years ago with Hazel when she first taught in Yateley. We didn't have a lot of time to look at the quilts, but we'll try and photograph and post some more before the show closes on Sunday.
However, we did have time to take a snap of the Theme Category though, because we both won a rosette :-)
