Welcome 2013!

I've been a bit naughty and haven't blogged for a little while. I just don't know where the time has gone. After the West Country Quilt show I was somewhat panic stricken by the fact that Christmas was just around the corner and I hadn't bought a single present! I got there in the end, presents were bought, wrapped, received and enjoyed. My little boy had great fun ripping up the paper and the whole festive period was thoroughly enjoyable.
I also turned 30! For a while I felt a bit weird about it, its kind of a land mark. I am a fully fledged grown up and there is no turning back haha!
I hope you all had a lovely Christmas and New Year and are looking forward to lots of lovely sewing projects in 2013!
So back to the West Country Quilt Show...... We had a really good trip. As it was our first show there was lots to learn and we met some lovely people both customers and traders who were very supportive. The show was a little quiet, the appalling weather didn't help with so much of the west country experiencing flooding. It was a very positive experience and we came back buzzing with ideas for our next show which was supposed to be Exeter in April.

But then I got a phone call.! A stand had become available at Ardingly at the end of January. I had been pestering the poor lady at Grosvenor Shows but to be honest i didn't think a stand would become available as things book up a long time in advance. So now its full steam ahead to get read for Ardingly in a fortnights time! Ahhhhh!

I am busy working on some lovely new kits and hopefully they will be making their debut at the Ardingly show. I had planned on doing this for April so I am working all hours of the day and night to get everything ready.

I also have some fantastic new fabrics on the way including these lovely little fellas! They haven't arrived yet but should be here in the next few days so don't forget to check out the website!

Also our new class programme begins on January 20th and spaces are starting to fill up so don't miss out! all details can be found at www.thelittlehouseofpatchwork.co.uk
