In Mapua's heart, a hidden door, To Crafty or Wot, and so much more. A wonderland of colour, bright and bold, A quilter's story, waiting to unfold. Christine and Steve, with hearts so kind, A warmer welcome, you'll never find. They greet each visitor with a friendly grace, In this enchanted, joyful space. Each fabric swatch, a painter's hue, A vibrant dream, both old and new. For every stitch, a loving thought, In this magical world, they have wrought.

I’ve only had the pleasure of being looked after by Katie and Trudy, however they are the MOST loveliest ladies I’ve ever met! they are so heartwarming welcoming into the store & their attentive service, knowledge & genuine love to be working there makes the whole shopping experience so much more special! & don’t even get me started on the BEAUTIFUL layout of the store! everything is meticulously placed, presented to such a high standard & care, with a WIDE range of products, from jewellery supplies, quilting, crocheting, knitting, tapestry, their DMC thread range is INSANE (in a good way!) I definitely will be a returning customer (perhaps even my new go too?!) and recommend Crafty or Wot to everyone!
