Oakapple Haberdashery

Books restocked!
I've just restocked the books that sold out at Festival of Quilts, including Lori Holt Prairie, the one the had the pattern for more sunflower quilt in.
Please let me know if a book you wanted is out of stock and I should be able to reorder it for you.

Just arrived!
I'm really pleased to be stocking Alphaclippies, these are the much loved Alphabitties quilt marking tool but with a clip to hold it to your carefully cut fabric. They even come in their own little storage box.
Gamechanger! How has it taken so long for these to appear?

Elizabeth Hartman Patterns now in stock
I love these cute patterns - and there's no paper piecing invilved with these, it alll pathwork, and most of them are reasonably beginner friendly. Each has an option for quilts of different sizes and a cushion pattern.
Who's Behind Oakapple Haberdashery? About me
I'm Ellie, owner of Oakapple Haberdashery. You can find me in The Palace Hub, right on the seafront in Redcar, Cleveland. I have a studio rather than a shop, so there are not regular opening hours, but if you're passing just pop in and ask the receptionist if I'm in. I can also arrange to be in at certain times if you email me.

Sustainability
I'm working towards being a sustainable company, so I use cardboard packaging as much as possible, and I reuse packaging when I can, e.g. bubble wrap or packing peanuts. I recycle as much rubbish as I can within Redcar Council's recycling policy.
