What A Great Way To Spend A Saturday...
October 17, 2008
I just had to show you a few snapshots from last Saturday's Spring Stitch-In at Glen Harrow. Last post I forgot to show you my pattern for the day so here it is:
The ladies all received a cute little turquoise 'Yazzi Bag' with a kit from Rosie and a kit from me. My kit was the doiley you see above. Because I can never stop at just one of anything (I hear you laughing Gail) I popped an A5 journal cover into the pattern and a nice little stitchery that you can frame and hang next to your bed. I've called the pattern 'Pretty Bedside Set'.
The weather was perfect and lots of ladies sat outside and sipped lemonade (or champagne!) and stitched:
We had a ball:
The food was great:
Ladies came from near and far:
Some serious stitching took place:
And lots of lovely girl chat. Barbara (short sleeved white blouse) has introduced me to D.M.C thread number 3687 (how did I miss it?) and my life has changed forever!:
Karen got lots of stitching done on her version of my doiley:
All in all we had a wonderful time and I'll show you Sunday's Stitch-In tommorow. There'll be a giveaway too of my pattern from the Stitch-In.

I love the beautiful colors in the doily. I think I need to make something in those myself! Your design (and those scrumptious colors) is really really lovely.

To be honest: don't know any better way of spending a Saturday.
