Each person will get a kit and there’ll be other stuff to rummage through as you create your piece. Once you’ve made your patch you can transfer the skill to make larger pieces at home, bags, cushions, lap-quilt, wall hangings, mug rugs, all sorts of lovelies!

Bags Of Stuff!!!

Posted on 18/11/2025 by admin

3m of fabric + I’m clearing thru a lot of fabric, also some my kits from when I was on Create & Craft TV, also haberdashery & patterns worth at least £65 rrp (most are a lot more) – fabrics are all good quality 100% cotton quilting weight fabric from well known suppliers – I’ll co-ordinate them wherever possible. (all at least 1/2m pieces)

Photos shown are just examples of the fabrics.

And of course ……I’ll also include a free magazine – these are mine, used, but still in good condition.

Cost has increased slightly, sorry, to cover the cost of postage as these weigh heavy – 2nd class tracked Parcels

Sorry, there’s no specific choice of fabric design, bags are prepped ahead of time and no returns.

Doncaster Quilting & Sewing Show

Hi All, I am really looking forward to seeing everyone at Doncaster!!

The Doncaster Quilting & Sewing Show, officially known as the Great Yorkshire Quilt Show, will take place at Doncaster Racecourse from Friday, 3rd October to Sunday, 5th October 2025.

The event features new designs, kits, patterns, fabrics on various stands, and a chance to join workshops and classes, with a detailed workshop list available through the Grosvenor Shows website. Visitors can expect quilt displays from well-known quilters and textile artists, and the event promises direct engagement with creators and retailers in the quilt and sewing community.

I will be exhibiting at the Doncaster Quilting & Sewing Show (Great Yorkshire Quilt Show) with new designs, kits, patterns, and fabrics available on my stand, plus running classes and workshops detailed on the Grosvenor Shows website.

Please stop by and say hello!

Abbie x
