Our exciting news……

 



Our trusty box room Aka sewing room we have outgrown it’s full to bursting and our bedrooms have the overflow. So our amazing mum and dad have decided the garage which was a wasted space of things we don’t us everyday.

Is going to be our new sewing space we can’t wait to cut, sew, and iron all in one space and have storage we can actually go and find our tools/fabrics at ease. And serve tea and cake to our sewing friends when we see together.


So operation garage conversion is underway by daddy he’s so clever and precise and us his helpers! Sometimes we are this ha ha!! 😁😁😂😂🤯🤯😬😬🥵🥵

Big big job but where soooooo excited.   

The feature wall with have homemade rainbow 🌈 cladding and the rest white and bright. A massive desk for all our machines. Storage and a cutting and pressing station.

Here’s the process in a few pictures…..

Updates coming soon.

Work in progress…….

  Hello  We are Leeann and Kayleigh 😀😀 known as @quiltingtwins on Instagram and to our friends and family we get a array of names “the girlies” “the girls” “the twins” “the girly whirlies” “the rainbow twins” Which we really don’t mind being identical twins you have to be easy with the names if there pleasant thats what counts and believe us we had some unpleasant ones. And all the questions a million times over we have an idea for a wall quilt on this subject we must get it designed and made.

We was wracked with nerves going into a large church hall full of busy talented quilters we was thinking how will we settle and get as good as some of these. But having the same passion was all you needed we sat down and people came by and had a chat and asked what we was working on and did we enjoy the course. Fast forward 11 years we really look forward to the two meetings a month with the bridge between the towns hence the name Bridge Quilters one meeting is held in Widnes then the other is held across the bridge in Runcorn. We have had many venues since it begun and many members come and go but we think we have a wonderful group and community now over 30 members 7 new members since lockdown we are all friendly welcoming and there for the fun laughter education, quilty fabric talk, laughter, compan
