 25th June - 30th July

As promised for the month of July we have organised a variety of Christmas projects but before that you can wander round the remainder of the Westpoint Arena Spring Quilt Show that was held at Exeter and enjoy quilts by Patricia Archibald, and meet the Strawberry Fayre and Villavin Crafts. Strawberry Fayre are known for their plain fabrics and also were one of the group of winners to get a pattern in the book Jelly Roll Inspirations by Pam and Nicky Lintott and Jo Hendy of Villavin Crafts runs quilt retreats in the cottages that surround her shop down in Devon – what a brilliant combination – Plus there is a super pattern available from her that adds money to the Help the Heros fund.

You can also meet Lynn Quinn, quilter and teacher and she will also be at the Festival of Quilts at the NEC teaching this year.

Getting ready for Christmas we have a super new Rudolph fused appliqué wallhanging , by Anne Baxter, which has simple embellishments added to his antlers; a lifted star workshop from Sylvia Criticher; working with gold bias (which is ready-fused) by The Stitch Witch to produce a quick and easy wallhanging and then Mandy Shaw shares with us her advent calendars and festive bunting and there are lots of new products in the shopping section.
 

 

Don’t forget, Friday is the day the new films get put onto the site, so make sure you don’t miss them;

25 lucky subscribed members will win bundles of Robert Kaufmann fabric;  draw to be made in July.

 If you haven't seen the Faded Flag workshop with Anne Baxter then you won't have been able to make this delightful table mat from her pattern.

ER10.jpgER10™ - It’s “meshmerizing”!

 

The HUSQVARNA VIKING® ER10™ embellishing machine is designed to create beautiful embellishments on just about anything.

 

There is no threading, no tension, and no bobbin, just five special needles that felt layers of fabric together by meshing the fibers, fabrics, yarns, and more with the up and down movement of the needles. This machine can also be used to create fraying and worn effects, on jeans and other denim fabrics.

Move the fabric under the needles to felt your original design with textures and fibers. Personalize your garments, gifts, and crafts. It’s easy to place roving, fabric, scraps, fibers, threads, yarn, trim or any fiber or textile under the needles to achieve stunning one-of-a-kind effects.


Use the HUSQVARNA VIKING® ER10™ embellishing machine for all kinds of projects; garments, quilts, cushions, throws, wall hangings, kids stuff, scrapbooks and more. Set your creativity free!

Jennie Rayment
 
This skinnyish, red-haired, slightly wacky Brit is totally obsessed with 'Nipping and Tucking' - fabric manipulation and surface texture. Unique in her field, she's now internationally known for her quick, simple, innovative and original techniques with manipulated material and her hilarious lectures with real ‘Strip, Show and Tell’.
 
 Jennie teaches a wide variety of classes for all levels and abilities of sewers from patchworkers, quilters and embroiderers to fashion, soft furnishing and home décor enthusiasts.
 
Although, much of her work is created in simple calico known as muslin in the USA, her elegant ideas and natty notions may be adapted for any type of fabric and used to make quilts, wallhangings, boxes, baskets, cushions, table linen and of course fashion garments and accessories.
 
 
Indeed, anyone interested in any form of needlework will be totally captivated by her deviously ingenious textural designs and can benefit from the wealth of creative ideas arising from her magic manipulations.
 
 
  
With six books on fabric manipulation techniques - all still in print, many articles and a variety of patterns including a twiddled and fiddled Block of the Month quilt, Jennie’s material magic goes on and on.
