A lovely day in Cheltenham!!

On Saturday last....

...I spent a lovely day in Cheltenham...

...with the ladies of the Cotswold Branch of the Embroiderer's Guild.

Well, actually I spent Friday night up there too..

....kindly accommodated by Veronica and David...

...who I had had the pleasure of meeting on one of my cruises last year.

It is ALWAYS so nice to meet up with folk again!! :-)

Anyway...

...back to the workshop...

Everyone was making a stenciled and stitched fabric book cover...

...but the theme was entirely up to them.

So...

...these are what came out of that lovely day...

Quite a few chose the "Lavender & Lace" theme...







...one fell for a dragon....




...another liked the fish....




..a couple went with the "Earth Spirit" idea...





...and coral did it for the hand stitcher!





There was a delightful old Singer machine in use...





...and lots of Markal Paintstiks and stencils....

...along with printed French labels...








The sun shone...

...the sewing machines whirred...

...and a wonderful day was had by all!


Have a great week...
