Block of the Month Clubs
Join a Block of the Month Club and receive a gorgeous parcel full of loveliness each month! We have been running our popular Block of the Month Clubs since 2016 and have had many happy stitchers from across the world take part! Our exclusive Block of the Month quilts are all designed by Sarah and have a glorious scrappy feel, with the fabrics included, chosen from across our extensive collection. They incorporate a variety of techniques, including Machine Piecing, English Paper Piecing and Applique (papers and applique templates also included) and to assist with the different techniques, you will find a whole host of tutorials on our Blog HERE. Plus we are only at the end of an email or phonecall should you ever need any help!
*NEW* Clubs starting in January '20
We're busy getting ready to launch two clubs for 2020! Choose from our very special new project 'The Happy Stitches Journal', where over the course of 2020, you will create a beautiful hand quilted fabric book, full of happy stitches. If you would prefer to make a quilt, we're thrilled to announce the 'Liberty Periodical' a lovely 'Baltimore' style quilt, is back for a second run!
Happy Stitches Journal
Join us in 2020 to sew a beautiful hand quilted fabric journal, designed by Sarah. It will be a keepsake of happy stitches, that we're sure will become a much loved family treasure. There will also be opportunities to add your own personal little touches on some of the pages, this could be a button or piece of lace with a memory attached, or add an embroidered word that holds a meaning for you..... making your journal unique and special to you.
A sampler book of sorts, the journal includes a mix of Sarah's hand drawn embroidery designs, (which are pre-printed on to a beautifully soft, cotton linen mix fabric) alongside applique and English paper pieced pages, incorporating more of the gorgeous cotton/linen fabric with the prettiest Liberty of London tana lawn fabrics. Each month you’ll sew a new 'page' and in month 12 you will also make a beautiful hand quilted cover.
We hope that you will join us for a year of happy stitches.
Liberty Periodical
Our 'sell out' club for 2019, is back for a second run in 2020!

Happy Hexie Club (Sep '19 ~ Aug '20)
SORRY FULLY SUBSCRIBED! It's no secret that English Paper Pieced Hexies are one of our favourite things ever to sew! We know that we're not alone, as our Happy Hexie Cushion kits are one of your most popular picks. We decided therefore, wouldn't it be fun to sew a lap size quilt version. We're thinking a lovely soft colour scheme to include our favourite faded reds, blues, taupe and greys on a scrappy mix of cream and white backgrounds for that quintesential English country look. This will be a perfect project for evening happy stitches whilst watching your favourite programme on tv or as a portable project for sewing out and about!
