...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...
