Having worked for Doughty’s a while back this all sounds very familiar! They do put a great roadshow and always appreciate a well organised group, especially when it comes to cake! Glad you had a great day!

Hello Joy! I’m sorry I haven’t found your wonderful and very kind blog before now, I’m so happy you’re enjoying making up my All Squared Up kit in those gorgeous Alison Glass prints. And you’re right, sometimes you just want to get stuck in and start sewing, and pre-cut kits are perfect!
Happy sewing Joy, I look forward to seeing how you quilt it 🙂 x
