Jackie has been over for three days, which has led to a craft filled long weekend - a great time!
We started with an afternoon at Chertsey museum - painting hessian (jute / burlap) bags
And we spent Friday night with washing lines! Yes, four 15m cotton washing lines and two sewing machines and we ended up with these
Saturday morning introduced us to the joys of Dorking: The Quilt Room, Gillian's GladRags, and Georgous Gerties: possibly the best shop in the world! I love Dorking!
Saturday afternoon saw two more Everyday Tote bags being created
Sunday morning showed us how to make mega credit card wallets - holding 38 cards each,
and purses and glasses cases.
And in the hour before having to take her back to the airport we managed to whip up these two from Noodle-head's design!
Thank you for a fab weekend Jackie - roll on August!!!
I started this blog for me - it expanded to show BFF Jackie what I was doing - and a few others have invited themselves too - everybody welcome! Mostly about patchwork, with random comments about embroidery, family and life in general, come on in, put your feet up, and I'll put the [virtual] kettle on.
