Mail Order - or rather, mailing orders
Although we don't operate a mail order scheme as such we are happy to post goods to you if we have them - indeed, we'll do our best to acquire them if they're not actually in stock.
If you are wanting particular colours or tones we'll also be pleased to send you several samples of fabrics that we feel might match your requirements.
My husband got very worried when I said that I was ' collecting shops' but of all the ones I have tried Midsomer Quilting - sadly three and a half hours away - is my very favourite. They open Friday to Monday but put their personal phone numbers on the door so if you were
Just passing you can call and if they are free they come and open up just for you.

Newsletters
We send newsletters now produced on this web site are changed every few weeks. We are actually concerned that not every one has access to them so if you have friends who might be interested but are not on the net, perhaps you would be kind and keep them informed. You might also care to let other friends know about our site.
Layering
We have plenty of space and tables for you to layer your quilt. The tables can be arranged to form a three metres by two and a half metres base. Ask for details.

Travel Bag
We're including the next item at the request of one of our American friends. We invite visitors to the shop to take our carrier bag with them (we're a bit greener now with hessian ones) and be photographed if they are travelling abroad or to somewhere of special interest. We've got quite a gallery now. There are a few below. When Dawn Cameron-Dick (right) was teaching in Natal Zululand she asked her hostess where she might be photographed with the bag. Where did you get that bag? asked the good lady. My friend along the road has got one of those.
The first of the two below is of Helen Conway in Morocco where she asked the two water carriers to advertise MQ - in return for which we are delighted to recommend their services.

The other is of Mike Carpenter who was once taught by De and
Chris. He now leads Volare, the British Freefall Champions (and coaches the Swiss Freefall team). When we suggested that he should do this, he jumped at the chance. (Sorry for that)
Jack and Jill Quilting
We did think about naming the shop after Jack and Jill as centuries ago (I don't know how many) Jack and his wife Jill lived in the village of Kilmersdon, just two miles away from our shop. You can find out more about the tragic pair on www.ficklehill.com (look at the Fickle Hill page).
