The New Year Ahead

  The festive season is almost over and as we all think about the past year it's time to think about the coming one and with that in mind I want to tell you about an exciting new project that is happening at Cowslip Workshops.
I've just had a happy time with Jo whilst the shop and cafe has been closed over the the holiday season where she was preparing for Di Fords block of the month.You can see the centre of it here.

Here are some of the lovely fabrics for the Di Ford block of the month. If any of you want to sign up for this project you had better hop over to Cowslip Workshops to sign up. 
As it was closed over the Christmas period I took the opportunity to take some photos of the shop and cafe. 
Lovely flannels and wool. 





You will never see  the cafe this quiet again. It opens again from the 3rd of January with lots of yummy food and cakes. 
Jo's beautiful Christmas quilts are still adorning the walls. It's looks so welcoming.





Hope you enjoyed a belated bit of Christmas from my favourite quilt shop and cafe 

Happy New Year and here's to lots of sewing in 2014.

  5. Is the cafe IN the quilt shop? That's brilliant! When I'm at my favorite quilt shop, (you know the one....Busy Thimble!), that's the only reason we feel a need to leave, is to go and get some lunch! Imagine if there was a cafe inside! LOL We'd NEVER leave! HA!

  11. What a wonderful shop with lots of gorgeous goodies that look so tempting. I love anything that Di Ford makes but I must stay focused this year. I'll see how long that lasts.

  12. Beardie mom, you are a no reply blogger so am leaving the information here. The quilt is a Bom by Lynette Anderson called friends for Christmas it's available on her site.

  13. I love Di Ford's quilts. I live in the USA and have signed up for this BOM from a USA shop. Besides offering the magazine they will be offering Di Ford "fabrics". Can hardly wait. Will be interesting to see what the Cowslip offers. Will you be joining their BOM.

  14. Cowslip is offering the full package of fabric too. That's what's in the boxes.
    Not sure if I will join in. If I don't i think I will somehow regret it when I see the quilts emerging in on Internet.
    Enjoy you bom journey.
