The date of our Stitch & Craft show is drawing closer so here's a quick update on what's happening, plus details of an extra treat for mums!
Stitch & Craft is running 19-22 March 2009 at Olympia 2 in London. The show is hosted by us and our sister craft titles: PaperCraft Inspirations, Simply Knitting, Cross Stitcher, You Can Craft, Cross Stitch Collection, and newest kid on the block, The Knitter. So if you know a card maker, cross stitcher or knitter bring them along!
A few things you won't want to miss...
Best of British Scrapbooking gallery
We're displaying all the winning layouts from the 2008 competition. It's your chance to get a good look at all the detail on these gorgeous designs.
Free Make & Takes!
We've teamed up with Fiskars to bring you a selection of free Make & Takes. The Fiskars demonstrators will be on hand to show you new techniques and then you can have a go for yourself.
Workshop programme
Looking for a more in-depth introduction to a new technique? Then the workshop programme is the place for you. There's a wide selection of classes on offer and pre-booking is essential - get all the details at the dedicated Stitch & Craft website now.
Did I mention the shopping?
A huge part of the show is given over to the stands so you can stock up on the latest crafting products. I have two pieces of advice for you: wear comfy shoes and bring a big shopping bag!
Bring your mum along for a great day out

Sunday 22 March is Mother's Day, so to help you give your mum a great day out we've got a few extra surprises: bring along the April issue of ScrapBook inspirations (number 51, shown above) and your mum gets in free! Plus, we'll be selling cream teas so you can both enjoy an extra tasty treat.
You can book your tickets to Stitch & Craft now, as well as book a place on a workshop, join in the pre-show chat and get all the details of what's on day-by-day over at our dedicated website: www.stitchandcraft.co.uk. We look forward to seeing you there!
