We will have an automatic 15% off all gift cards until Dec 8th so you can give the gift of craft. ✨ One of my favourite historical figures is William Morris. A key proponents of the arts and crafts movement of the late 1800s Victorian England, he was also a poet, a fantasy writer, a socialist, and above all things a lover of art and skilled craftsmanship. As you are bombarded with emails to buy stuff this week, I’ll leave you with some of his greatest quotes: 🌸Have nothing in your house that you do not know to be useful, or believe to be beautiful. 🌼Nothing should be made by man’s labour which is not worth making, or which must be made by labour degrading to the makers. 🌺I do not want art for a few; any more than education for a few or freedom for a few.

40% OFF!! ALL FABRIC ON SALE! Including our $5 clearance wall, and all our new and premium fabrics. Today and tomorrow only 10-3pm see you soooooon 🥳
