my story

Welcome to ‘The Wonky Giraffe’; a dream that over the last few years has grown into a wonderful reality!

My name is Louise and I live in the Scottish Borders with my husband and two dogs. I am passionate about all things crafty and can’t ever remember a time when I wasn’t making something – cards, wedding stationery, curtains, cushions, cross stitch, embroidery, knitting, quilting; the list is endless... as long as there’s not a dot of glitter in sight!

In 2020 I made the decision to pursue my passion and created an online needlework and quilting shop that would provide a range of high-quality needlework and quilting products for like-minded crafters. Alongside this, I opened a small workshop in Kelso; a place where you could browse the products in person before buying. In the first year of opening, the business grew and in order to respond to the growing need of the community I relocated to a bigger, more spacious and accessible premises. In time, I then opened a dedicated training space next door to the shop where classes and workshops could be held, and in the last year have added a Longarm Quilting Service to an additional room within the same building. I am just thrilled with the support that I have received, and am so grateful to be able to share what I know and love with others.

I do hope you love browsing the selection of fabrics and equipment available, either online or in person. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or would like to know more.

I can’t wait meet you all!
