You have to see this totally incredible video for the new James song. Made completely with wool! And not just any old wool but Rooster Almerino Aran in Custard that was bought in OUR SHOP!! The uber talented animator, Ainslie Henderson, bought up our whole stock while he was working on this and told us …
I can’t tell you how much I have been longing to show you my Feathers Quilt! I made it for Love Patchwork and Quilting Mag a few months back and this issue finally hits the newstand today. And I made the cover again this month! So chuffed!!! This felt like an important commission as the …
