2025 Sewing Calendar
January
Quilters Fair 2025 - Farnham Maltings
Sunday 12th January 2025
The actual show is also a favourite with customers for many reasons including the crèche for children and partners with the Sunday papers which means the shoppers can really get on with the business of buying fabric. Farnham itself is also a very pretty little rural market town, with many other attractions aside from the Maltings and only 32 miles away from London. The list of other exhibitors is also quite vast considering it’s a small village in Surrey; these last year included both the Quilters and Younger Quilters Guilds and the Patchwork corner. This all makes it an ideal place for any quilter to start the year.

February
Spring Quilt Festival 2025 - Newmarket Racecourse

May
Quilts UK - Malvern Three Counties Showground
Thursday 16th May - Sunday 19th May 2025
In May we have the Quilting Festival and what is truly lovely about this show is its location, at the foot of the Malvern Hills it really is as picturesque as that sounds with rolling hills and the odd sheep. And our fun facts about Malvern is that, it's been famous for bottled spring water since 1622 and was the planned location for the evacuated British Government during WW1.
June
Thread Festival - Farnham Maltings
Saturday 13th and Sunday 14th June 2025
We will be there with a great selection of dressmaking cloths with everything from viscoses to pretty light weight cottons. If dressmaking isn't your thing, we will as always have all our best selling furnishing fabrics too. And we have gone big this year and we have taken over the entire cellar bar - a whole room of FG imagine...

Now, this is a show we have been coming to for many years and this year again we will pack up our fleeces, fat quarters, quilting cottons and even a few dressmaking fabrics like corduroy, jersey and boucle. But we are really looking forward to seeing Stonehenge on our drive down.
