    Evening

    Not been on here for a while as I've been doing a lot of knitting.
    Got the machine out today though as I needed to make a lining for a bag I've knitted and felted.

    Once I got going, I decided to make a couple of patchwork pin cushions

  • Hi
    I assume you have tried Easons for quilting magazines? You could try Page 1 in Newtownards. They have a great selection of craft magazines including lots of American ones.

    Afternoon everyone, Just had to share this pic of my GDD Kayleigh age 6 with her first attempt at sewing. She started doing it just after Christmas and finished it today to give to her mum for mother's day.
