Quilt News

Hello everyone!

Hope you are doing well out there. Gaynor is in lockdown in Wales now, and many others are in Tier 2 and 3 areas. Hope you are doing OK and please keep safe.

Fabric is in shorter supply at the moment, Gaynor has been talking to one of the wholesalers who says Covid has slowed down supplies arriving from the US (possibly being bought up to make items such as masks). We have a lot of stocks in so we are OK for the moment, but Gaynor has put in a back-order for colours that we use frequently.

We have all been very busy in the last 2 months or so, and 55 quilts have been delivered, with another 2 currently in the post. What a lot of good work. Let's have a look at them:

Hello everyone, we hope you are having a pleasant summer despite the COVID restrictions!

We first must pay tribute to our quilters who have been very hard at work clearing the backlog from our pause during lockdown. They have done an absolutely amazing job and we are lucky to have every single one of them. Thank you ladies!

Our designers have also been hard at work recently with a lot of new patterns hitting the files section of our Facebook group. Also, thank you to Clare Bray who secured permission from Transport for London to chart patterns for the London Underground.

Washing squares
We have asked stitchers for a long time now to wash their squares (and iron them out just after washing) before sending them in. Please could you start to do this if you haven't before - even if your squares doesn't look dirty - to account for shrinkage as well as cleanliness. We know some are nervous about doing this, but remember - your square will be laundered many times when it is part of a quilt! For full details see our Stitching directions page. Please also check your square carefully for dirty hoop marks!


Square News
We have received 320 squares since our last update! Many thanks to all those who stitched them, what an amazing amount of work. We are so grateful for your continued support
