Let's get sewcialising today!
Who runs Stitchscape? What's it all about?
My Story - the brief version
Hi from me: Diane, who runs this friendly, sociable business, who's purpose it is is to provide colourful patchwork and quilting events for you to escape away to. Welcome to my corner of the webosphere. To create a sewing community where you can be inspired and motivated with your projects and make friends at the same time is a pretty awesome task.
Stitchscape is sewing studio servicing the southern Merseyside region and into West Cheshire.
I have been running workshops and sewcials since I set up my first studio in Newton-le-Willows in 2015, when I lived in Warrington. When I moved to Neston, I opened a small space at a fabulous venue in Liverpool called Merseymade from November 2019 but you can guess which pandemic ruined that for me.
In the summer of 2021 I started a patchwork sewing group in Moreton Community centre on the Wirral. I now also have a brand new fabulous sewing studio in Little Neston, which I started teaching at from February 1st 2022. All kinds of kits, quilt patterns and haberdashery are available at those sessions, with an online shop now albeit very basic at the moment - we all have to start somewhere.
I have run two brilliant sewing retreats at Thornton Hall Hotel & Spa. It's so fabulous that such activities are all underway again after a very trying 2 years! Hallelujah!
I am also now a joint owner of a longarm quilting machine and have set up a business called Mollie is a quilter. There Laurel Byrne and I provide opportunities for you to have a proper go on a longarm machine. Check out our website at www.mollieisaquilter.co.uk

The Glass room
My new studio is in a building called the Glassroom, on the Oaktree Court business park, Little Neston.
It was such a lucky find as I've looked for a long time and know what I want and clients need. It's located next to a livery and a field, which often has sheep in. So all feels very rural but we're right on the edge of the A540, so access is good. It's on the ground floor and there is parking all around the building, making it very easy to bring your machine and other 'gubbins'. It has a very practical yet cosy feel, with all the tools to help with your sewing, as well as people to form a community with and understand your enjoyment of all things patchwork and quilting.
The sewcials will just have 4 people attending, so that's a nice small group to give inspiration and support to and receive lots of help, advice and friendship in return.
Let's get sewing.
