We only have ten more sleeps until Christmas! I’ve got all my presents sorted, handmade and bought, so I feel a little smug. Have also written all the cards as well. Molly’s not quite got into the spirit of the season yet…
This will also be your last blog post of 2020. Sorry. I’ll be back the first week of January with, hopefully, a lot of festive stitching to share with you all. I don’t know about you, but I’m looking forward to having a few days where I can sew without feeling guilty about not doing the housework.
Last week was rather wonderful because I ended up with a free bottle of gin! WIN! Long story short, BrewDog, who make Lone Wolf gin, have changed warehouses and are having some teething issues. So instead of the Cloudy Lemon gin I ordered, I was sent a bottle of Cactus & Lime gin. Not going to complain. It’s free! I’ll report back once I’ve had some.
Here’s your final Moonstone and The New Hexagon 2 Sew-A-Long update for 2020…
I spent last Friday afternoon stitching away frantically trying to get the last of the presents made. Which I did, YAY! I also got round to making the folder cover I had started in September.
I made the rest of the cover using some free towelling samples that we were given by one of our fabric reps. It was rather stretchy stuff to work with to be honest. But I got it done. Finally.
I did have a little bit of help from a certain someone as well…
Cast your minds back to last week when I shared the Kona Cotton Color of the Year from 2021. Pantone only went and announced their COLOURS of the year just as I hit the publish button last week.
Grey and yellow. I will put my hand up and say that these have been very popular for the last eighteen months when it comes to customers making gender neutral baby quilts and gifts. Rather pleasingly it goes rather nicely with the Kona Color of the year.
We’ve had a shipment notification that our selection from the debut collection by Rachel Hauer (had to stop myself typing Karen there…Strictly fans will understand) from Free Spirit fabrics is on its way to us, and will be with us, hopefully, at the end of the week. Sadly, it means that if we have any orders, we won’t be able to get them to you before Christmas.
Mum managed to get her Quilting with a Walking Foot workshop sample finished, even though the workshops didn’t happen this year. But, there are plans afoot for them to be repeated once we resume our Saturday workshops.
And finally…
I did mention this a couple of weeks back but, put a note in your diaries on Monday 4th January 2021 – our Virtual Sale starts! And if you put this code: JANSALE20, you’ll get 20% off your basket (exclusions will apply). The discount is also available to those who are brave enough to venture out and join the inevitable queue.
Thank you for reading my rambles this year. I wish you all a very merry Christmas, and a happy New Year. Here’s to 2021!
