Road Trip with Dad & Building a Design Wall.

First of all, A HUGE MASSIVE THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO CAME TO OUR SUMMER OPEN DAY!

I thoroughly enjoyed myself and it was so much fun to meet you and have a good time sewing the little keyrings! Don't forget to use your discount codes for any workshops before 31st June 2026 (it can be combined with the codes below!)

This week’s Studio Vlog is a little different as I take you along on a road trip with my Dad to drop off and collect my sewing machine from Barnyarns near Ripon in Yorkshire.

Once we get back to the studio, we finally tackle building my design wall. I talk you through what you’ll need whether you have a stud/plasterboard wall like me or a 'proper' brick wall, so hopefully it gives you a good starting point if you’ve been thinking about making one yourself.

I was actually surprised by how quick it was to put together, it only took us around an hour. The longest part was lining up the design wall flannel grid properly, which definitely tested our patience a little but we got there in the end. We'll do it again when I get more flannel, so that it's fully covered.

I’ve wanted a proper design wall in the studio for ages, so I’m really excited to finally have one! It's about 8 foot square!

I hope you enjoy coming along for the journey and maybe pick up some helpful tips along the way.

I have ordered all the pre-orders of the Aurifil Advent Calendars as well as THREE extras for sale in the shop, so if you would like one, please order ​here​.

I have also ordered THREE Tula Pink Legendary Collections! If you want to order one, you do so ​here​.

I've made payment plans for both of the Aurifil Advent Calendar and the Tula Pink Legendary Collections so that it's more affordable to you. The Calendar is £117.60 or three monthly payments of £39.20. The Tula Pink Collection is £82.56 or three monthly payments of £27.52.

Please note: Your pre-order is secured once the first payment has been made. The remaining balance must be paid in full before dispatch in October. Failure to complete the instalment payments may result in the cancellation of your pre-order and any payments already made being non-refundable. 

As you know from previous blog posts, we now have a shop for all your Quilt Room Essentials and it is called 'Quilt Room Essentials' if there is anything specific you would like to see in the shop by replying to this email and I will try my very best to get it for you!

I've finally got the online shop sorted out! You can visit and shop online with us ​here​!

Please join us for our Summer Open Day on Saturday 13th June 2026 from 10-9!

On the day you can book in for any of our Summer Workshops and see what you will actually be making in the classes, there will also be an activity that you can do while you are there, to be revealed soon!
