Lemons, Spots, and Show and Tell...
October 08, 2008
What?? I hear you cry! Yes, let's start at the beginning. This Friday, Saturday and Sunday Rosie and I will be hosting our annual Spring Stitch-In Days at Glen Harrow Gardens (we are very excited!). Each year we like to try and add something a little more special and a little more personal. I so wish I could tell you (I am terrible at secrets) but I am sworn to secrecy once again.
I will reveal one little personal touch we've added. As we have a gourmet chef catering we thought we'd add our own personal touch of 'Rosalie and Leanne's Really Lovely Lemonade' (you may remember this recipe from one of my early patterns):
After a long week of designing, for many many Summers, Rosie and I have sat on her porch on a hot Friday afternoon and sipped this lemonade. Seeing as the Spring Stitch-In is all about sharing personal time with us we wanted to share our homemade recipe with you. So today I have been in my garden picking my lovely organic Spring Lemons to make you lemonade!
Spots. We have a few spots left if you'd like to join us. Due to some last minute cancellations we now have three free spots on Friday and three spots on Saturday. If you would like to join us contact Nel on (03) 9753 5459. These spots will go quickly so don't delay. The weather is predicted to be in the mid 20's each day so this is what you may enjoy:
To the ladies that are booked in don't forget to bring Show & Tell. Last year we had a ball with all the wonderful projects ladies came with. Here's Ramona's 'Journey of a Quilter' that we all 'ooohhhed and aaahhed' over:
Hope that you're coming to join us,

P.S. If you can't come and join us here's the recipe for our lemonade, maybe you can whip up a batch and sit on the porch with a friend and do some stitching:
Mix to taste. We find about 1:10 with chilled water. Enjoy!
Oh I really want to go...But I live in another state and my DH and gorgeous daughter are returning from a school camp in Canberra.. I so want to go.. I will try the lemonade and possibly put it with some bubbles. That may help a little...

The event sounds heavenly. If only I didn't live on another continent. Enjoy!

Thanks for the recipe Leanne! I was starting to feel sad that I would miss out on all your lovliness and then the recipe and the stiching idea! I will definitely be stitching on Saturday!

Hey Leanne! Thanks for the recipe! I have a lemonade recipe, but it's a bit different, so think I'll have to rustle up some lemons and try yours! Bear Hugs! KRIS (Tag Along Teddies)
