Winter weekend

Well there's nothing else to do on a cold weekend except stitch,apart from the ironing,washing dusting...........but all that can wait. I've made a few Xmas gifts for people this year and I thought you might like to see one in progress. This is a wall hanging that I'm making for my mums new kitchen, shes just bought a lovely cream dresser and the kitchen has a modern country feel to it. So I thought the Cup Cake design with the floral fabric would look great together. Hope she likes it after all the time spent hand stitching!

Latest news

Well by now I was expecting to show you some photos of my shop being built but as you can see the weather has put a stop to that!



I have however still been busy organising next years classes and as soon as I have finalised the Program I will post it on the Website. As well as organised classes there will be an informal hand sewing group meeting once or twice a month and maybe a knitting group .There would be a minimal charge for these groups, just enough to keep you in tea and biscuits!

As I don't have any photos of my shop I thought you might like to meet the Family!
