A Delectable Twist with Tina Finbow
Due to its popularity – I will be teaching this workshop again – working with Delectable Mountains to create a lovely panel that can be used as a Table Centre Piece, a cushion front or side panel for a bag. The choice is yours.
This workshop is suitable for a Confident Beginner – you will make this lovely panel which can be used for all sorts of projects – on the day I will discuss with you all the options – but I will teach how to finish it off for the table centre piece.
Workshop Fee – £48 – (This does not include materials)
Limited to 8 people

Tree Table Runner/Bed Runner with Tina Finbow
This is a Brand NEW Workshop – and, if I am honest, due to it being a tad wasteful with fabric, I wasn’t going to teach it – however, with a bit of arm twisting I have agreed to teach it and use the wasted fabric for the border.
It would make a perfect Table Runner – or even Bed Runner – and it doesn’t have to be Christmas themed either – I can picture it in gorgeous browns and greens too.
Suitable for a Confident Beginner.

Frank the Badger with Aitchbee
SKILL LEVEL: Confident beginners and upwards
NARRATIVE: Meet FRANK who’s busy foraging in the undergrowth for his supper, he’s having a good look around for something tasty. Even if you have never tried FPP before, I will walk you through this amazingly useful technique. The centre panel finishes to approximately 14 x 14 inches (18 x 18 with the border) perfect for a cushion or wall hanging. Each student will receive a full set of instructions, with colour photographs, diagrams and additional FPP templates, so they can complete the bag at home. This is a machine sewing class, knowledge of rotary cutting is also useful but not essential.
Workshop Fee – £55.00 (This does not include the materials)
Limited to 8 people

Snowballs & Charms Quilt Top with Lizzy Curtis
This is a Brand NEW workshop with Lizzy Curtis.
This gorgeous quilt was made using a Charm Pack (pack of pre-cut 5” squares).
On the day Lizzy will teach you the technique to make your Snowball Charm squares, as well as teach you about the finishing off with a Flange Binding.
Any Charm Pack can be used for this quilt along with contrasting fabrics.
The actual quilt is on display at the cabin as the photos do not do it justice.
Suitable workshop for a confident beginner.
Workshop Fee – £50 (This does not include materials)

Christmas Lantern with Mary McIntosh
I always like to do a Christmas themed workshop near to Christmas and have a keepsake item that I can bring out each year.
We are fortunate this year to have Mary McIntosh teaching her Christmas Lantern and having made a similar one earlier this year, I know how much fun I had making it.
In Mary’s words:- Create a delicate filigree style lantern to be displayed around a glass vase and with a battery candle or fairy lights inside. Choice of designs and colourways. Option on straight stitching or free motion stitching.
Using Lutradur spunbond fabric we will stitch then colour with transfer dyes and add foiling before burning and soldering. This technique may not be suitable for those with breathing problems.
There will be a charge of £6.00 to cover materials payable to Mary on the day. The glass vase 20cm x 10cm is available from Hobbycraft for £7 or Mary can supply at cost if ordered in advance.
Other design options are Snowflakes or Stars.
Workshop Fee – £55 (This does not include materials)
