Dear Everyone,
The Holiday season is well underway and it's really not long now until Christmas. Whatever your plans for the holidays we hope they are taking shape.
If you're looking for a gift idea for someone who sews, we have some gorgeous new Liberty accessories in store, from cute pin cushions to useful sewing boxes, all in Liberty's scrummy new English Garden prints.
Don't forget our Gift Certificates too, which are sent out by e-mail, either to you to personalise and give to someone you love or we can e-mail them directly to the lucky recipient with a personal message of your choosing.
There's still time to make a gift with our Christmas fabric, which is now 15%-OFF, or maybe you could choose some other fabric as a gift in its own right for that very special person in your life. So much choice.
Whatever your plans, enjoy making them and wrap up warm against the weather (to our Winter readers); quilts are very good for that!
