Paula and Dulcie are back from the trade show

Whoooo hooo, Paula and Dulcie had a jolly over the weekend, they will say that it is work but who can complain about squidging wool for a day. It was the wool trade show in Birmingham, a mecca for all wool shop and sewing shop owners throughout the country. Of course there are many different stalls and I have yet to find out the true extent of the loveliness that was held in the four walls.
I do however know that the lovely Paula and Dulcie have chosen wisely and decided to add to their James Brett range, new colours of marble and the King Cole yarn. They also have brought back with them a small selection of cross stitch, only the small sampler kind though. I'm sure that they brought back and have ordered more exciting stuff but I have a tendency to forget. I suppose that we will all have to wait and see until the orders roll in.

knit and natter...what about sewing bee and tea

Knit and natter has expanded again and there is now an extra club on  Monday afternoon, if you want to join a session you will need to put your name down at the shop as there is now a bit of a problem with space, chairs and dreaded "elf". Don't let that put you off though as there is plenty more sessions and classes that you could join.
Patchwork for beginners starts on Saturday with the delightful Carol. There is plenty of new materials that you can choose out of to create your first masterpiece. There is an array of different coloured fat quarters to choose out of priced at £2.50 singularly, or 5 for £10.

Carol has also made up colour coordinated scrap bags that are great value for money and proving to be very popular, all scrap bags are individually priced.

On to the next exciting club, we are starting a sewing bee and tea on the 3rd March. It will be along the same lines as knit and natter but with people bring their sewing. During the sewing bee and tea there will be chat and at some point there will be yummy tea and cake. This little package of fun will be £2.

There will be more course and workshops coming so check out the website and the blog for more info....I will remember to write on the blog more often.
