British Patchwork & Quilting Magazine awards Cross Patch
'Retailer of the Month' September 2007.
Mrs Sue Williams of Findern, Derby tells us:
"After seeing the 'Home is where the heart is' wall hanging in Retail Therapy I phoned Cross Patch to order the kit explaining that I was a novice. My kit arrived the next day and on taking up there offer of assistance, should I have any queries, I rang and found them to be extremely helpful. The excellent verbal advice was followed up by instructions by post."
(an abridged form of Sue's original letter).
Also, featured in the magazine on page 53 is a review of this Web Site!
