Would you like to be the next owner of The Peacock and the Tortoise?
After 10 wonderful years looking aft
er The Peacock and the Tortoise, we are looking for a new owner for the shop. It’s a going (and growing) concern in a beautiful city, and would make a fantastic investment for someone who loves fabrics and haberdashery. You don’t have to be a quilting expert at all! If you’d like to find out more, call Trudy on 01738 717009 or email info@thepeacockandthetortoise.co.uk.
Treat Yourself! Treat a Friend!
We all need a treat now and then. And of course a fabric treat is healthier than a cake! So we have made up these lovely treat bags: in the small one you will find two FQs (from the current ranges) and sone trim, alongside a A3 pattern sheet with suggestions what you can do with it. In the bigger bags you will find two half metres and more trim. If you look at the bottom of the bags, you can find a little more information about the colours/ patterns in the bag. We have them for Christmas too! £8.95 for the small one, £15.95 for the larger one. Treat yourself, or treat a friend!
The Peacock and the Tortoise is seeking a new owner
After many happy years, we have decided to pass our wonderful shop onto someone else! Trudy is set to retire and make lots more quilts and Mhairi is moving onto her next challenge. So our business is up for sale as a going (and growing) concern, as we want to ensure that our quilting community has a great patchwork and quilting shop on their doorstep. All enquiries welcome!
