November 2022 - Jack and Jill

We have made it half way through your 12 months of nursery rhymes! Here we are on number 6 - Jack and Jill. The days are getting shorter and the rain is pouring here in Sussex, we are busy in the workshop preparing for Christmas, and Harrie and I are waiting patiently for the two new arrivals in our family. This month we have Jack and Jill for our nursery rhyme, a song of two love birds… or is it!? You’ll have to read the newsletter to find out the meaning of this popular ditty!

Are you stuck for Christmas gift ideas? Don’t forget all the free patterns and ideas we’ve given you each month on the website, this is your exclusive area and we try to fill it with extras for you! The quilter’s pail would make a great gift for any creative on your life and is a quick, easy way to use up scraps! And I’ve also included some ideas for Christmas paper crafts inspired by the second verse of Jack and Jill, a fun way to fill a rainy Sunday, decorate your house and bring that Christmas cheer!
