  4. Hi in response to Christine G, she rented space in Botany Bay, which is a big retail unit near Chorely, she did so well through it that she sold her business and was planning on settin up another. They bought a lovely house in the Ribble Valley, which is near me, which is why I remember it! Good Luck! x

  8. Just wanted to say how much I am enjoying the Kirsties Homemade Home series. It has been an inspiration to someone who enjoys crafting and recycling. Not only is the series practial but it also promotes the wealth of talented craftspeople that are on our doorstep, up and down the country. It is an inspiration to everyone and certainly helps people to look at what already is in circulation, I am all in favoutr of that rather than supporting the throw away society that also is emerging. Well done Kristie and all the team. P.S. Is the pattern available for the knitted lettering please ?

  9. Hi, I particularly enjoyed the quilting feature in the 7th May episode of Kirstie's series. I would be grateful for further information on Jo's courses and tips on applique quilting. Thanks Louisa

  12. Kirsty was making a lampshade in the last episode. Having trawled through your website, I can find only one site offering the adhesive lampshade stiffener and that is white. Can you direct me to an online site supplying the transparent product? Also where is the special fabric double sided sticky tape available fron?
