Dans les Yvelines.....

...and in some SUN at last!!!!

I went to take part in a lovely (applique bag) workshop yesterday...

...with the extremely talented Reiko Kato.

It's the largest workshop I've ever been to, with over 50 participants.

Being in France .... one starts with breakfast :-D

...and only afterwards does the cutting and stitching begin!!

Lots of lovely samples to entice...

...and the usual messy worktables!

The "Demo Huddle"...

...more samples...

This was all arranged by Cecile Franconie of "Facile Cecile"    Thank you Cecile!!

We will be meeting again on Thursday at Nantes ...

...for the Salon Pour L'amour du Fil.

Just because I'm supposed to be on holiday doesn't mean no stitching or shopping - right!!??

Cushion U.F.O. - finished at last!!

I bought this little panel pattern/kit at Ste Marie-aux-Mines back in 2013...

...and only today has it been finished!!

Turned into a small cushion for one of the living room sofas...

Another U.F.O off of the U.F.O. pile! :-)))

On page 45 is my little house project!




Instructions for one of my little pointy-top houses....

I've put together a kit, with all the textile materials required to make two house panels. These are available here.

Other projects are in the pipeline too....

...but I have to keep quiet about them for now ;-)
