Got an idea!

I have just gained some inspiration for next year's National Quilt Championships entry. I am unable to enter this year due to family and business pressures which is a shame but it does give me a whole year to work on an entry for next year.

I was thinking about Cornwall the other day and how I haven't been there for a while. This led me to think about the wonderful rocks and cliffs in North Cornwall - the colours and textures have always appealed to me and I used to take photos and sketch them regularly when I was visiting.

So after a frantic search I found some lovely photographs, sketches and collages I made a few years ago. Et Voila! Inspiration.....so now starts the work!!!

Steams up!!!

I am spending the weekend firing on the narrow guage railway at Hollycome this week as it is now re-opened for the season.  It was very wet yesterday (Good Friday) so not many customers but the weather is looking a bit better today. If you're around and haven't got anything to do over this Easter weekend why not pop down and see us? Visit http://www.hollycombe.co.uk/ for details!!! We will be starting railway rides at 12pm and the fairground rides start at 1pm

Main website updated

I've just finished updating the main website to tie it in with the online store a little better. I have redesigned the layout to offer a fresher, more easily navigated site - I hope you all like it! Take a look at: http://www.julytextiles.co.uk/

NEW IN!!!! - our new range of embroidery backings and stabilisers!

I have been very busy over the last few months sourcing great new products for the shop.

The range of embroidery backings and stabilisers is now complete.
We can now offer: Tear away (two types), Iron on, Sticky and Skin soft backings. We also have heavy, medium and lightweight water soluble film type backing as well as heat removable fabric and water soluble fabric as well. CLICK HERE to take a look

There is also a removable stabiliser trial pack now available for you to buy for £1.50 - this contains full instructions and small pieces of our removable stabiliser range just large enough for a standard 10cm x 10cm hoop. CLICK HERE for details.

By the way I have more stock arriving this week so I will update you all then.

Tyvek fabric available!

We now have Tyvek fabric available in the online store. It has the same properties when heated as our Tyvek paper sheets but is softer, more flexible and has a slight surface texture, making it ideal for stitching into either before or after distorting!
