Christmas closure 2014-2015

I will be closing the shop for Christmas/New Year at 2:00 p.m. this Sat (Dec 13th) and reopening onTuesday  January 6th at 10:00a.m. 
I will be away for  part of this time, and as well as that,  our family will celebrate Christmas early this year, so there will be limited opportunities to make an appointment for me to open during this time. 
I would like to thank all of my customers for their support during the year and wish you all a happy and healthy Christmas and New Year.

One of my designs made by Pat Gray

Mystery Quilt no 1- designed many years ago.
This one was made by a long time customer Parricia Gray. After all of Pat's great work, she kindly donated it for a raffle. Well done Pat- and I am sure both the organisation and the  recipient were chuffed. Thank you for sharing this  with me and subsequently many others .
