The bliss of stitching and chatting all day!
Since I last wrote to you, we have been very busy indeed. Our Together We Stitch Weekend at the Hilton Leicester was marvellous. I think the Hilton Hotel excelled themselves – the food was particulary good this time. A challenge for yours truly as I had to weigh in at Slimming World on Monday! I might add that this is my last attempt to lose weight- if this does not work you will have to put up with me as I am!
Yesterday, we had our Luxury Stitching Weekend here at Pinks Barn and we had sunny weather and a lovely lunch with champagne and smoked salmon.
Hand Turned Acorn Needlecases
Our lady wood turner, Jo Freeman has created these attractive wooden needlecases exclusively for The Cross Stitch Guild. Each one is slightly different to the others and are made from two different hard woods to create the acorn cup and the egg form. Go to Wonderful Wood for more information.
William Morris Tote Bags
New this week, our William Morris Tote Bags are now available from our on line shop. Each bag is made from linen union with linen band handles and Zweigart Cork 20-count linen pocket. The fixed button keeps the pocket from gaping when full. Each bag includes a charted alphabet so that you can personlise your pocket if desired. Go to Ready Made Stitchers Treats for more infomation.
