You better believe it Sazu!! It is located in Chadderton, 30 mins north of the city centre...anyway, if you DO come up north, you can let me know and we can meet up and go together!!!! We could stand outside the shop with all the sewing machines

Whereabouts are you deltadawn?

I have missed my group over in Spain so much, I didn't think I would find a local group, it's unbelievable that they are practically on my doorstep, having a shop is amazing too, although the prices are steep at least I can go and drool over them, it will be good to get wadding and notions etc....


Hi Izy I am in Northamptonshire .......so nowhere near you or would be lovely to meet up ! Perhaps something to plan for the future? !!
:D :D :D

So let me tell my story (LOL)....I already mentioned that I went to a very disappointing trade exhibition in the city centre last week, but while there I got speaking to a lady on a craft stall so I asked her if she knew of any other ladies who were interested in Patchwork, only turns out that there is a patchwork group in the next town and to check on the Quilter's Guild website...(why didn't I know to do that???( :roll: )

So I eventually checked the website, found the group, emailed the lady, got a reply, just as she was opening her own shop...unbelievable!!

Went along to the opening yesterday, met LOTS of lovely ladies, but discovered they have a 2-3 year waiting list for the patchwork group which is held in a local church and just doesn't have the space for any more members...so asked why can't we start a spin off group???? Well what a good idea that is, came the response from many, so we asked the owner of the shop...can we rent your upstairs room? Yes, she said I will even put tables up there for you!!!

SOOOOOOOOOOO I am going to be member of a new patchwork group, when I return from our holiday...I so can't wait!!

I am doing the very happy dance today!!!! :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:
Thats wonderful Izy such good news for you, and starting your own group Wow!!!
