'Behind the scenes' in Craft Land Workroom

Long Arm Quilter

Hello everyone from Christel and the ‘behind the scenes’ team, Amir, Jocelyn and Ailyn, in the My Craftland workroom. We are based in Al Khor, where we make some of the items for the shop to help inspire fellow crafters.

Latest Quilt hanging in Jumeirah hop
 

For the quilting ladies, we prepare the Layer Cakes, Jelly -, Mini and Maxi rolls and some of the beautiful quilts you will see hanging on the walls in the Jumeirah shop.
 
This is also where we sew quilt top, batting and backing together on the long-arm quilting machine for our customers and at a request can finish the quilt by sewing the binding.

Another part of our responsibilities are to assist Danielle and the teachers in the shop by making kits for the clubs on Wednesday mornings and also more Embroidery kits that you can choose to buy in the shop and either make at home or come to a class or clinic.



Amir has inspired us all with this quilt he made mostly by hand stitching!

Join the Club!!

Craft Land's club season is upon us. Join us for one or more of our monthly clubs and get a bonus sign-up gift!

Clubs are different from classes and clinics...at club meetings, we'll have refreshments, guest speakers, interesting demos on the latest techniques, show and tell sessions where members can share their own work,  and also a new & fun "Make & Take" activity each month. We have different clubs for different crafts: knitting, quilting, hand embroidery and machine sewing - each has one meeting per month. Meetings take place on Wednesday mornings 10am-12noon in the Town Center Atrium.

And membership has its privileges! When you join one of our clubs, you get a generous sign-up gift, reduced meeting rates, and special discounts in the shop on Club days. You'll also be the first to see new products and techniques before they hit the shelves in Craft Land!

Stop in soon to join one or all of our clubs! Membership is only 50dhs for the club year (September 2012 - June 2013); meetings are 30dhs and include refreshments and activity kits; guests can attend meetings without joining for 50dhs.
