We had wonderful traders and a great speaker, a big crowd of 242 people and everyone seemed to have had a great day.
I left my phone at home so I have pinched some photos from one of the Bellarine ladies
The crowd doing the stretching and breathing exercises, out President is an ex Physio 😊
Our speaker Veronique Diligent explaining her work
She does the most beautiful applique, the ones above are her stress stitching, that is she does it to avoid stress, beautiful little birds and houses and trees, the embroidery is done with one strand of floss.
Some of her blocks are made into beautiful books, the colours are wonderful.
Some shopping happened
End of roll for backing and fabric hopefully foe an upcoming class
Special pens and doilies
An Indian thread spool? Is that what I should be calling it? That has a use that will be done one day 🙄🤔
And I have had one finish
Blogger has gone sideways!
A child's quilt. Another one is on the machine, but thus afternoon I am off for grandma duties so the parents can go for a coffee and chat uninterrupted.
Happy stitching.
What a great event! I like the books. I have some odd bits and blocks that I don’t know how to use. This might be an idea for me.
ReplyDeleteOh wow, looks like a great day. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeletesideways photos....I can see your face! So frustrating isn't it! Looks like a fun meet and some shopping.
ReplyDeleteGosh your speaker had some wonderful inspiring work there Sue. I would have loved to see that in real life. Your purchases are great - that spool might make a snippet roll perhaps?? Love those tiny doilies you bought. Love the finished quilt too Sue. xx
ReplyDeleteWonderful... what I would give to be there :-)))
