NEW WEBSITE LAUNCHED!!

I am so pleased to announce that my new website has been launched.  It's taken me some time to build and it's not all finished yet but it is ready to go as is.  

Find it at

cutandalter.com

All the information relating to my longarm quilting services is on the new site with a lovely customer gallery so that you can see what the quilts look like finished.

There is also a blog attached to it where I will keep you updated on news, WIPs, book reviews and handy hints and tips.

Hope to see you over there!

Festival of Quilts Celebration Giveaway :: The Final One and It's From Me!!!!

So we've made it to the end and here is the final #cutandalterfoqgiveaway .....

EDITED ON 04/08/20 AT 12:00 :: THIS GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED

This one's from me to you .....

So now it's my turn on the #cutandalterfoqgiveaway but I find it so hard to write about myself ...... Let's start with what I am - I am a daughter, sister, wife, mother, quilter, educator, one time home educator (we did it voluntarily for years ;)), reader, crocheter and lots more things beside.

I have been a longarm quilter for 5 years now and have been quilting for others for 4 1/2 of those.  In 2018 I became a Handi Quilter Educator and I have found my passion - I love teaching.  Hopefully classes will be up and running again soon and I am also going to be teaching patchwork and quilting on domestic sewing machines aswell.  I give talks and run workshops for Clubs and Guilds and I have to say that I love being in this quilting community.  I get to sew, chat and teach like minded people, generally with coffee and cake thrown in.

Giveaway Prize:  Quilted, zippered pouch along with 5 long quarters of Kona Cotton and maybe, just maybe, there's something in the pouch!

Apologies to overseas readers but due to postage costs this prize is limited to UK addresses only

Sew Me Something is a regular trader at shows around the country and would have been at Festival of Quilts this year selling their patterns and fabric.  If you are into dressmaking you have probably already come across the SMS patterns designed by Jules in her wonderful studio just outside of Stratford upon Avon.  It is from this studio that a range of classes and workshops are held which will hopefully be back up and running soon.  In the meantime there is a lot of digital content you can access from FB lives every Tuesday and Friday or why not join Jules in The Sewing Studio, a new virtual venture offering online classes for numerous projects and techniques.

Giveaway Prize:  One paper pattern from the SMS online shop
