Introducing our new brand, Jomil!



We’ve got an exciting new brand to introduce to you today… This Sunday, Sue Amphlett will be joining us for two hours as she demonstrates the beautiful products from Jomil!

Don't miss these shows at 8am and 1pm this Sunday, 16th October.

Who are Jomil?

For over 30 years Jomil have been a leading supplier to the craft & sewing industry, providing a wide range of products to retailers and manufacturers throughout the UK and Europe. Based in West Yorkshire and still a family run business, Jomil are now one of the UK’s leading independent distributors of sewing and craft products.

Who is Sue Amphlett?

An all round crafter who found a love and passion for all things creative whilst she was growing up, with her parents having a handicraft shop, to developing her skills as she studied soft furnishings and upholstery at night school and then fashion at college.
"My earliest crafting memory is of my mum teaching me to knit when I was just 5 years old - I was hooked!
My first love is sewing - the first thing I remember making was a lime green cotton skirt when I was 11. Unfortunately, I wasn't told to secure the seam ends and so when it was washed for the first time, it started to come a apart.
When my children came along I became an avid knitter - I particularly remember being very proud of a jumper I had knitted with a very intricate willow pattern on the front.

I took up card making in the late 1990s when the craft was in it's infancy and there was nothing much more than peel-offs and coloured paper. Since then I have developed quite a reputation as an expert card maker and have given many demonstrations in stores across the country.

Since 2001 I have been a consultant for Habico, a leading wholesaler of crafting products. I help them with product evaluation, sales staff training and demonstrations at trade shows and exhibitions.

I love sharing my passion for crafting with other people and giving help and advice for resolving crafting related problems. Please don't hesitate to contact me should you require any help, assistance or guidance."

Meet the Presenter - Matt MacNamara

1.      How did you first get introduced to crafts? I’ve always loved craft and had such great respect for anyone who makes and creates crafty items. At craft fairs it is always me that holds up everyone else in the group while I chat to the people on the stalls about what they have made. My wife Karen, or Mrs M, is very crafty too. She’s into the classic decoupage, upcycling old boxes and furniture. She also makes her own jewellery and I sometimes help her run the stalls at craft fairs.. 2.      What have been your highlights so far on Hochanda? We have a very talented pool of guests, so there is always something so creative going on in the studio, so honestly, every day is highlight. I’ve also had the good fortune to have tried several crafts for the first time ever. It’s pleasantly surprising to discover that to be a good crafter you don’t necessarily have to be artistic, you just need to be imaginative and creative. We all have our own...
