A long time fan of Wendy’s methods and of course her super fantastic quilts and cushions.
We were lucky also to be able to view a suitcase full of her works…. the detail in Over the Hill amazing… it’s very hard to pick a favourite.
The girls in the class worked well and were very happy with the day.

So along comes 2019 … my 14th year of trading ……
I’ve decide to try and get my blog happening again…it gets hard with Insti to always put everything that’s happening onto it…. my issue… I’m not a massive fan of Facebook but l have a very tiny presence.
So what do l do to get out there more:
Im getting a brand new website…… fingers crossed with a online shop ….aaaahhhhh
Sending out monthly newsletters…….via this website .
Annoying you with reminders about classes…. etc etc
So we will see how l go…..
The classes schedule has been updated for 2019 … any queries just call the shop.
Thanks
Mary
