Latest from The Fat Quartes

Hi
I am sure a lot of people have now read the article in The Telegraph this week that says Quilting is good for you.
Researchers in Glasgow have discovered that quilting helps cognitive, emotional & creative well being.  The use of colours can be uplifting, it has a social side.
Well all of us who have been quilting have always known this.  I have a Doctor who attends regular workshops who has always said she wishes she could write it on a prescription.
It's so nice to read that something is actually good for you once in a while.
On a different note 'Petite Noel'  & 'Sewn Toy Tales' have arrived in store, and we have taken further deliveries of the Vignette magazines as well as Petra Prins book 'Treasures from Holland'.
We have added some lovely new Fat Packs
