G Waddings for baby quilts We recommend either 100% cotton or wool are used inside baby quilts. In cotton we have two weights. The lightest, known as ‘Request’ is ideal for prams and cots whilst the medium weight, called ‘select’ is suitable for a toddler or as a playmat. These cotton wadding only require quilting every 6-8" and wash well with no shrinkage. Wool waddings are traditionally used in many countries for both their warmth and moisture absorption qualities. They quilt beautifully, like a hot knife through butter and will require quilting every 3-4". This could become a family heirloom Full laundry instructions are shown on each wadding package. Cotton Request £7.00 (46” x 36”) Cotton Select: £8.00 (46" x 36") Wool: £18.00 (46” x 60”)

Modern Quilt? What is this Modern Quilt? I am happy to see new quilters coming along, discovering the joys of cut-it-up-and-put-it-back-together with all the utterly delightful fabrics that are around these days. And I love the Modern Movement - quilts for using, minimalist design, clean colours, plains as well as patterns; all allied with skill in making, pleasure in quilting as well as piecing, and the desire to share skills and information.. So, I founded the Modern Quilt Group of the Quilters’ Guild of the British Isles last year, and I’m attempting to spread the Word as far as I can. So, from Thursday 20th to Saturday 22nd August, I will be at Quilter’s Haven with a display of Modern Quilts, demonstrations - hands-on mini-workshops, free patterns and ideas, and help and advice.. Bring your machine if you want to, bring your quilts to share, and bring your Debit cards… Helen Howes www.helenhowestextiles.co.uk

Mistletoe Lane Quilt Kit 65" x 70" A beautiful quilt that will make Christmas fun for the whole family. Featuring Mistletoe Lane fabric from Bunny Hill and Moda fabrics, designed especially for this quilt. A special panel has been created that includes 25 tags that fit in the pockets on the quilt. You’ll find Cinnamon Goose throughout the quilt as she helps you countdown the days until Christmas. She’ll greet you in block number one, and each day as you remove a tag from a pocket, Cinnamon will cheer you on. It’s fun to see what each day brings when you remove the tags, and if you hang them on a tree they become ornaments. The kit includes all the fabric required for the quilt top and a pattern. Quilt kit price £255.00. If you are a regular customer then we are happy to accept payment in 4 instalments. Deposit £77.50 followed by 3 monthly payments of £60.00.
