We are actually just about to get the third free project from one of the designers for the swap tomorrow...can't wait!! Anyway just wanted to check in and read some blogs.

Stitcher's Angel News

Hi there!! Well it's official....I'm a stitchers angel. The cut off date has been reached and now we are all waiting for our angel's names. So I thought I had better do a post so my angel knows I am still alive and kicking.

Shop News

We are still going strong with the Freeform knitting and soon we will be starting a beginner's patchwork class (just as soon as I get the sample finished LOL). I think I had better give you some background.

I bought the shop 2 1/2 years ago very run down and not a lot of stock as the previous owner had not been well. So the last two years have been spent restocking and doing the odd class. It's a small business with just me at the helm so hence the reason I'm always busy. I can now afford a staff member part time and on that day I will teach which is something I've wanted to do for a while. So things are starting to pick up for me. I'm soo in my element as I've been crafting all my life with one thing or another. At the moment it's patchwork, knitting, crocheting and odd bits and pieces. We are also just about to change the name of the store so look out for that one.

Well I've now to go and finish the blocks for the sampler quilt which I will post shortly...just very basic. And then I will bind my flannel quilt.

Till next time take care and bye for now
