Jubilee Stitching

60 years ago today, on the 6th February 1952 Queen Elizabeth II came to the throne.  Her coronation was held on the 2nd June and 2012 marks her Diamond Jubilee (only Queen Victoria before her has celebrated a reign this long).  Over the weekend of 2-4th June there is an extra bank holiday and a number of national events and celebrations to mark this national occasion….

We are proud to be British at JACQUI P and I have over the years created quite a few patriotic things to stitch… as well as some new lines which we are launching over the coming weeks..so why not be crafty in celebrating this great event…

New Decorative Gift Tape

Our new decorative gift tape designs have landed at our sister brand Pearl and Earl‘s HQ and we have been playing with them all weekend.  The kids favourites are the BOYS AND GIRLS tapes.. which they have have fun making cards with.
Personally we think they make a great quick wrap idea teamed with our candy striped bags…  or to jazz up some simple brown paper wrapping…. we have 2 versions of our NO PEEKING tape – one is a simple big stamp (240mm long) and the other is a typographic montage which works really well as an alternative ribbon (whether its Christmas or any celebration)

Easy Living Best Websites (yes us!)

We were super thrilled this month that the lovely folk at Easy Living Magazine have picked little old Granny Knits as one of its very favourite websites.  “Where bright bold colour meets nostalgic tradition” … Bea has summed us up perfectly!

Plus we were one of the top 3 draught excluders too..  one of our old favourites Baby Its Cold Outside.  It is always so lovely to see our hard work in the press – thank you!
