Currently Exhibiting in Store Please enjoy this page Heaths Country Store recently celebrated its 10th Anniversary. For this week we held workshops, have a go days and demonstrations and all topped off with two days of sale. There was also a free raffle with over two thousand pounds worth of goods up for winning, all donated by our best companies. We also raffled a quilt very kindly donated by Makower in memory of Dee and this helped us raise over a thousand pounds for the John Eastwood Hospice.   The Monday Group was a whole day of knitting with Bev from Knitting4fun (Bevs the one with the funky hair).   The purpose of this day was to knit a bag with the intention of felting it once it was taken home. All fancy yarns used were free and donated by Stylecraft and ourselves. And Bev donated all her time for free.   Tuesdays Group Now we could only fit a few people in on this day, wet felting requires a lot of space, and yet you would not have believed the racket these people made! Above you can see the process of layering out a design.   After arranging your design its then a case of fixing it into position by rubbing a solution of water and detergent over the roving.   Once the design is firmly fixed into place it is then rolled up.   And after rolling up you begin scrunching. Several hundred rollings later and you have your finished felt. On this day the group made a scarf in the morning and a bag in the afternoon.   This is Yvonne, with Steve she was the cause of all the noise. Bless her!   Wednesday This was my own have a go day. It was day when anyone could come in and learn a new craft. This little laddie is learning needlefelting.   Thursday Group This was a lovely quiet day of patchworking a heart shaped scissor keep. Run by our in house patchwork and quilting expert Maureen chocolate biscuits and cups of tea were abound.   We billed this day as learn how to patchwork but in reality it was an excuse just to have a nice day of crafting.   Friday Marian is one of Nottinghamshires best spinners. She spent all of Friday spinning away, allowing customers to have a go while all the time the madness of a sale was going off around her.   This is Amy and Beth Is Amy Britains youngest quilter? The quilt here was made when she was just five years old! She came into the shop on the Saturday as I had some fat quarters to encourage her to continue crafting. She received a lot of attention and since then has appeared in several newspapers and the national Popular Patchwork magazine.   This is the quilt donated by Makower in rememberance of Dee, the founder of the shop. Alone it raised over two hundred pounds and with other donations reached over a thousand.
