Lynette Anderson's Scandinavian Christmas is selling out fast!
We are now out of stock of many of the fabrics in this popular range. What is left is indicated on the page of our website where there are also 2 remaining full sets of fat quarters for sale. The image below shows a six inch square of the full range of 25 fabrics. We will be taking our remaining stock to the Knitting and Stitching Show in Harrogate.

Ann Mayner interviewed live on BBC Radio Derby
Aleena Naylor was discussing the benefits of quilting on her radio show on Tuesday 14 May and Ann was asked if she would do an interview if the outside broadcast unit came to the shop. However, they didn't tell her beforehand that she was going to be live on air. She did quite well though!

Success at Uttoxeter Quilt Show
Darren entered a quilt in the special category at Uttoxeter and got a second place! This is quite an achievement as it is only his third completed quilt and his second competition entry. See the page for a picture and more details.
We'd also like to congratulate one of our customers, Anne Gosling from Stalybridge, who was awarded first prize in the wall hanging category and also overall winner. The picture below shows her standing proudly next to her beautiful quilt with a larger picture of the quilt below.
