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.

My new book – The Christmas Collection – an A4 soft back book, price £9.50 has now arrived!  I have had the idea of creating a Christmas alphabet for a long time and now had no excuse not to do it!  Finding projects for certain letters proved impossible and there were several ideas for some letters, so I called it the Christmas  Collection.  It consists of 27 designs.  I have made them into small wall hangings (finished size 7 inches) and linked them together by sewing buttons into each corner.  They could also be hung like bunting.  Some of the ideas I have used as Christmas cards over the years.  People are frequently telling me that they don’t need any more supplies but just ways of  using up what they have so I hope this will inspire them.  The cost is £9.50.  If ordered alone add £2 for 2nd class post or £2.50  for 1st.  For those of you short of background fabrics I have made some packs of 5 x 8in squares in various colours – £4.50

 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.
