News and What’s New

This long enforced period of being at home has given me the time to sort out a lot boxes and finish off various projects – like my leaf jacket.  For years I have been saving small scraps of Liberty fabrics to make into cards.  Now I have done so and am selling them for charity – £2.50 each.  The small squares are bonded onto iron-on Vilene.  I then attach ribbon, using double sided super sticky tape and finally attach a small sequin to the centre.  I started using buttons but found that they will not go at the normal letter postage rate.

I have also been making masks from Liberty tana lawn fabric – again for charity (£8.00).  These are pleated so they come down over your chin.  They also have wire in them so you can mould them to your face and there is a pocket for putting in some paper tower or other  disposable filter.    Liberty tana lawn is beautifully soft.  The Duchess of Cornwall was wearing a Liberty fabric mask made by a designer when she visited the National Gallery at the end of July (and it will cost £48)!!!!

Shows for 2020

We were due to  attend the following shows:

29-31 October (Thurs-Sat): North West Quilt Show, Haydock Park Racecourse, Newton le Willows, Merseyside, WA12 OHQ (Sat Nav WA3 3QP) – Stand 10

 New Christmas fabrics have started to arrive, including some from Hoffman at a reasonable price.  We once more have a stock of Anni Down’s panel the 12 Days of Christmas which never looses its appeal.
