Missenden Abbey

We are the suppliers at Missenden Abbey on Saturday. Don’t forget to let us know if you need anything specific. I’m teaching at Wey Valley Workshop tomorrow, so an email is the best way to let us know.

I’ve also just listed a number of new colourways of the Sassa threads, they are linked from here, but you will have to keep scrolling down to find them all. All the listings today are unrepeatable collections and two of them have already gone. Click each picture over there to find them, payment is via PayPal.

Textiles in Focus

Forget about queueing for parking at Alexandra Palace, or the NEC for that matter. No charges for parking and less than half the entrance fee! Why not visit Textiles in Focus in Cottenham near Cambridge instead! There will be an exhibition that’s worth seeing, lots of demonstrations, and, of course, good traders. All the suppliers are specialists, so they know all about their products and there is good food and drink to sustain you too…… How can you resist? Dates? 15th – 17th February. There are also workshops and a lecture.

More information can be found here, I’ll be there with Winifred Cottage, so please come and say ‘hi’ when you visit. On that note, if you have any special requirements, for instance Kunin Felt, make sure you let me know in good time beforehand. I won’t be taking much of that with me, and may have limited stocks of other things too.

This is a photograph from last year. It’s a lovely show, and well worth a visit. Hope to see you there.

 

 

Festival of Quilts

Well, it’s ‘that’ time of year again, and no doubt many of you are preparing to travel to Birmingham over the next few days.  This is the 10th Festival of Quilts, and will be wonderful, I’m sure.  How many of you came to our stand five years ago?  If you did, you might like to catch up here….

However, we won’t be there this year.  Last year we had advance warning of a family wedding, so that’s where we will be later this week.  We’ll be meeting up with family that we haven’t seen for some time, so I’m really looking forward to it.  I might make a very quick trip to the Festival on Thursday or Friday, but that isn’t finalised yet.  Mail order will continue to operate as normal as we don’t need to stay away for long.

Enjoy the Festival, and I’m sure that business will return to normal next year……..
