We are delighted to share with you our recent success as Retailer of the Month (April) in Patchwork and Quilting Magazine!  Many thanks go to one of our regular customers, Mrs Jean Houghton, for nominating Laughing Hedgehog.  As you can read in the article, Jean wanted our excellent customer service to be recognised and we are very pleased that the editor agreed with her!  You can read the full article by clicking on this link, and we will be proudly displaying our certificate when it arrives.  Take a look at the website and share the experience of old-fashioned, caring, efficient customer service.

Lots of new goodies have been arriving - as well as additions to old favourites – so here’s a quick run-down of what’s new.  Four new ranges from Moda have been sampled: Papillon, Ooh la La, California Girls in Jelly Rolls, Layer Cakes and Charm Packs; and Howard Marcus’ most recent addition to his series, ‘Collections For A Cause’.  We have added to our collection of Animals, American Civil War, Children, Orientals, Retro and Seaside as well.  Our range of beautiful Batiks continues to be very popular, so we have not only extended it, but added charm packs to our shop-cut strip rolls by popular demand.  Those of you who like to work with co-ordinating strips and charms can now match them.

If you are a new customer, we hope you will enjoy browsing our fabrics – there are literally hundreds to choose from.  We look forward to you joining the hundreds of existing customers who already shop with us regularly.

We don’t offer discounts, sales or gimmicks, just quite simply completely free Second Class delivery on all UK orders, including BFPO addresses, because you tell us you like to know exactly how much you are paying, with no nasty shocks at the check-out!  Unlike other companies, there is no minimum order value to benefit from this offer.  However, there is the option to upgrade to First Class delivery for a £3.50 standard rate, if you need your fabrics in a hurry.  Just follow the instructions as you pass through the check-out procedure.  All orders are turned round in 48 hours and sent out by Royal Mail.

We have recently had a delivery of more beautiful batik fabrics, handcrafted from Indonesia. A variety of greens, golds, tans, earths, blues and aquas, they are stunning and irresistible! We are already including them in our shop-cut strip rolls, Woodland, Shoreline and Storm At Sea. If you haven’t worked with them before, we recommend you try them: the 100% cotton fabric is strong and holds its shape well without fraying, and because they are hand finished, no two fabrics are ever identical, so you can craft a unique creation!

We have some gorgeous summery prints from John Louden too: Fruit hearts, Fresh flowers and Patchwork hearts – bright, cheerful and something different to include in your summer projects. If you prefer to have your fabrics already matched for you and ready to cut and sew, take a look at the Ditsy print Fat Quarter Bundles in navy, blue, red, pink and cream - ideal for any spring or summer work.

Just a small sample of dozens of new fabrics about to arrive, so keep an eye on Laughing Hedgehog for new prints being added all the time.
