Everything about quilting and patchwork in Manchester
Are you interested in patchwork and quilting? So am I!
I live in Manchester and like to chat with other people in Manchester who enjoy quilting, but this site is for anyone, really. So get involved, leave comments, and get in touch.
If you live in Manchester, I’m really interested in hearing recommendations of where to buy quilting supplies in Manchester, so let me know the place you go to.
There’s also a lot of chat about quilting groups in and around Manchester. I’m trying to think of a better way of organising new groups – contact me if you have any good ideas of how to organise this better.
The site has recently been redesigned, so take a good look around. All the old articles and project are still here – with some new ones too.
