Well so much for January being a slow month! The workshops have started with a vengeance, we’ve had some lovely new stock as well as lots of Liberty and a selection of new fabric from Art Gallery. The website is up and running with online payments for workshops, and this month we should be able to sell our fabric online too. The workshops are my favourite and it’s
Hi  been lovely to see all the creativity emerging from the workroom.

Free Machine Embroidery with Appliqué

Beautiful and simple fabric collage – reminds me of North Cornwall coastline

This Felted picture has been hand embellished using free machine embroidery! Stunning 🌟

Lovely inchies

I love these just beautiful – use up all those miniature treasures you can’t bear to bin – make an exquisite artwork.

The resident Elves have been busy making Valentine cards – £2.75 each or two for a fiver 😉

Go on treat yourself to a lovely unique and handmade card!

Also lots of lovely fabric packs. The Elves’ biggest achievement this month must be sorting and colour coordinating the buttons!

We had a few firsts this month – our first bullet journal session – this is a chance to get motivated and achieve our goals. We meet the first Tuesday of the month 10.30- 11.30am. Also ‘Stitchfulness’ – take time out and do a bit of embroidery in the moment – we meet the last Monday of each month 10.30-12. Both sessions are student led so only the cost of a cuppa.

We also have our regular Knit and Natter every Monday 10-12pm in the tearoom.

I need a large G&T having got to the end of this blog AND managing to insert photographs😳 maybe I don’t need a 14 year old to do it for me after all 😊

Have a great February keep warm

Two weeks back at work and it’s been lovely and warm in the shop with lots of activity going on. Our beginners sewing group has started, Quilt and Crochet groups have resumed and our new ‘Sewcial’ monthly sewing group, has begun. We had the first workshop of the year on Thursday with 6 people learning the delights of Free Machine Embroidery ! It sounds really cheesy but it is so nice to meet and connect with other creative people.
I’m busy planning lots of new workshops, and trying some new techniques to introduce to you such as sashiko and shabori.
We’ve had some new arrivals in the shop, a delivery of Liberty fabric, some beautiful Art Gallery Fabric and Tracy has brought us some more of her beautiful journals.
Check out our new website, all the workshops are there too and can be paid for securely online.
As I write this snow is coming down – it’s a cold January night, but this afternoon I noticed some snowdrops pushing up, and evenings are getting lighter. Keep warm everybody and have a great weekend.

I can’t quite believe another year has rolled around! I hope you all had a lovely relaxing Christmas and New Year celebrations. Despite Betty’s having been closed Julie and I (and a few helpful Elves) have been splashing on paint and giving the place a general freshen up.

I’ve also been planning workshops for you –  some old favourites and a few new ideas too, anything to keep the winter blues away. I’ve also been visiting a few textile companies and have decided to stock the Art Gallery Range of fabric, so keep an eye out for that. We’ve also just made another Liberty order, Liberty have put their prices up for the new year, but we can keep them down for our cherished customers  until the spring.

I’m looking forward to seeing you soon, the shop and tearoom open on Monday January 7th.

heres to a happy and safe 2019🥂
