Sew fun!

Couldn't resist the title, corny as it may be!  Well, Sunday lived up to my excited expectations.  it was so lovely to spend a day with other sew-y people.  Jo bearpaw did a great job getting us together and hosting us in the craft room of her wonderful Avery Homestore shop.  She really has some lovely stuff and not just fabric, wool and haberdashery.  I could have spent a small fortune.

We were from left to right,  Fiona poppymakes (just as lovely as I'd imagined and very good at explaining FMQ!), me, Katy littlest thistle (with the most mountainous supply of very talented show and tell), Lynz domestic light and magic (so fun and I was so pleased to see her again), Jenny who is Sarah narcoleptic in a cupboard's mum (what a cool mum, with some beautiful quilts made from thrifted cotton), and Sarah narcoleptic in a cupboard herself, all the way from Shetland (always so funny and making amazing blocks with stripy fabric).  Unfortunately Jo isn't in the shot as she took it.......I don't think anyone else remembered.

Photo 'stolen' from Jo Bearpaw - thanks Jo, the only person organised enough to remember to take a photo!

I came home with this lovely lot - little Elmer cup and spoon for Katie, pretty fabric from the shop and fabric from our swap. Perfect way to round off the best day.
I seem to be having serious formatting problems here..........think I'd better stop before it goes even more pear-shaped.

Thanks girls for such a lovely welcoming day.

Looks like you had fun and I'd be fighting to keep the Elmer spoon for myself lol.

It sounds like a wonderful day. I used to belong to a quilting group which got together once a month for an entire day of sewing and eating. It was one of the most relaxing things I've ever done - like a mini-vacation.

Lovely fabrics!
