Fabric Bundles
These are the bundles in one of the stages of their process of becoming a “Rich Pickings” bag. Anyone who loves fabric will love these and the picture depicts just how diverse the shades of one colour can be.

Rich Pickings
“Rich Pickings” bags are available to purchase at workshops and the shows I am attending. For more information on venues, please see the Workshop Diaries in the category listing.
PLEASE NOTE, these bags are not available by mail order.
New Workshop for the Autumn
Are you a Magpie like I am? Most quilters are and have a collection of Grannie’s precious buttons and lace just waiting to be used. We have some new “Rich Pickings” bags called “The Heirloom Collection” which will supplement the collections you may already have. This is an opportunity to use some of it up in a Heirloom project which will display your treasures to their best advantage.

This is a photograph of our stand at Westpoint, Exeter in 2008. Look out for me at other Quilt Shows organised by Grosvenor/Fabrications Magazine in 2009. See my Workshop Diary for further details. Looking forward to seeing you!
They say the art of letter writing is dead? In my opinion there is nothing nicer than receiving a letter or a card which someone has taken the time and trouble to think about and write. This “Blank Card Holder†would make a lovely present for anyone and can be further personalised with some hand made cards (not shown). The cards in this photograph are from Fabrications Magazine and feature various quilting images.
The “Blank Card Holders†are made using a similar technique to the one used to make the “Celebration Photograph Albums†This is a “quick make “workshop using lots of lovely scraps of fabric which were just too good to throw away!
Feature the fabric, stitch into it, embellish it and let your imagination take flight.
One of a pair of pictures made using the “Rich Pickings†textile bags and printed cotton fish images. This workshop uses lots of free motion embroidery and beaded embellishment. For those who are daunted by free motion stitching it is possible to achieve a similar effect using either hand stitching or the pre-programmed stitches on your machine.
