I am so pleased to be able to tell you that I have just had a stand at The Festival of Quilts at the NEC. It felt so good to be amongst like-minded people again and the show was really well organised in a very safe way with loads of space and safety measures. We were all very happy and it was a joy to be out again after so, so long! It also bodes very well for The Knitting and Stitching shows at Alexandra Palace and Harrogate as they are both put on by the same organisers and I have just heard that both shows are to go ahead.
I have been busy whilst locked away at home but actually I have to admit that enthusiasm waxed and waned a bit at times – a bit more sunshine would have helped! Now, after the show, I am ready to rock and roll again!
I have now finished a cushion and pincushion panel using the same pattern as my Oriental Doorstop and a set of cubes as pincushions or scissor keepers that will double as bookmarkers, all with a tiny stork scissor charm included. I took all these with me to The Festival of Quilts but now they are all loaded on the website for you all to see.

I so hope that we will all meet again at one of the shows but in the meantime stay well, keep stitching and have happy holidays if you are going away.
If you have any problems or if you prefer to place your order with a real person do feel free to telephone. It will be lovely to hear from you and I am always happy to chat on 01452 741685.
