Yes it’s time! You can finally buy your Stitch Gathering tickets NOW! We have had nearly 200 people registering their interest on our website and we’ve been teasing them with bite size pieces of information about the Retreat over the last few weeks.

Blimey, two and a half weeks since I last posted! After that big Stitch Gathering announcement in my last post I did a quilt show, got ill, did a show at the SECC and taught loads of classes in between – phew! I do manage to pack a lot in but the last few weeks …
I have been dying to tell you about this for a while now and at last I can! I am organising a quilt retreat in Edinburgh! I started seriously thinking about this last year but it didn’t start coming together till my workmate, Sarah, came up with the idea of a quilt exhibition at our …
