Here to Help! with Tina Finbow – Friday 22nd August 2025 (10am – 3pm)

Here to Help! This is a new style of Sit & Sew Day with me in the background if you need a little help with your project.  This is mainly aimed at Patchwork and Quilting, or finishing off projects that you may have started on a workshop at the cabin.  It will not include Dressmaking, as this is not an area I cover.

It is help, not a full day’s teaching.  Often you know what you are doing, but need a little help and guidance with your project.

It will need to be booked in advance of the date.

Daily Fee – £20

Limited to 6 People

Saturday 6th September 2025 – (10am – 4pm)

Disappearing 9 Patch with Tina Finbow

This is an ideal workshop for Beginners. You will make a Cushion Cover using the Disappearing Nine Patch technique, which has so many possibilities with layouts.  Once the front is made it will then be layered up on wadding and quilted, before making it into the cushion cover.  If you love the technique it also makes a great Table Runner if you make 3 sections to join together.  This will be discussed at the workshop.

You will need your Sewing Machine with a ¼” foot and a walking foot is ideal for machine quilting. 

Workshop Fee – £45 (This does not include materials)

Limited to 8 People

Saturday 13th September 2025 – (10am – 4pm)

Daisy May Quilting Pop-up Shop of Extra Wide Backing Fabrics (10am – 4pm)

Valerie and John from Daisy May Quilting will be with us for the day in The Little Cabin with a huge range of Extra Wide Backing Fabrics.

Do put it in your diary and pop and see them.
