New website design - 14 January 2009

Today I have uploaded the site with our new design. I hope you like it.

The aim was to make a website that looked light, fresh and inspiring for quilters but also to make navigation easier. Therefore there are links on the left hand toolbar straight to the main category pages. Hopefully this will allow you to navigate straight to the area that you are interested in.

There are a number of ways that you can move around the shop.

If you know what you are looking for then you can use our Quick Search feature on the top right of each page.

Also when you are in the Online shop there is a breadcrumb trail at the top and bottom of the page. You can use this to move up and down the shop. So for example if you were looking at the Rachel's of Greenfield Kits then you could use the breadcrumb trail to move up to Quilt Kits & Box Kits or Patchwork and Quilting Fabric or to the Online Shop main page.

The Top button on the top toolbar will also take you to the Online Shop main page.

If you need to find out information such where we are located or our Opening Times then you can click on the About Us button on the top toolbar to show you.

I hope you enjoy browsing our shop. David
