Oh! Di is helping Maria to do a bit of free motion quilting! Seem like it worked too. Well done Di!
Quite a productive day again and lots of laughter too. Plus some scrummy cakes and meringues from Pat. What better way to spend a miserable Monday.
Keep an eye on the Blog ladies for more information on the heating situation. Looks like we may have blagged a toasty venue for Wednesday, and maybe for next Monday too, if the boiler is still poorly.
Thanks Jo, Have been meaning to make one of these stockings for a year. One crack of your whip and Hey Presto! finished!! Fab cakes too. Mmmmm
ReplyDeleteYep, another fun day. I also had a great lunch with two helpings of Apple pie..Yummy afternoon tea for me included cream filled meringue ...... did I come to the same meeting or was I just there for the food????
ReplyDeleteWhat wonderful work and a very Happy Day did not notice the heating was off. Must have been the wonderful cakes and lots of chatter. Thank you Jo a Great workshop.Has any one got a birthday next week?. Never mind the heating.
