When we arrived each person received this nice bag containing all the patterns the designers had designed especially for this weekend. (I will share more about them next post except to say we were extremely spoilt for choice.) We also got a very cute pouchy thing. I'm embarrassed to say, I'm not sure what it's for! (I'm sure someone will enlighten me) but I like it very much.
Here's what it looked like opened up on the front -
.... and the back. Aren't the cupcakes cute?
If you've been following my blog you'll know that Anne Ida was the postman for May Britt. For winning her WISP challenge she sent me this gorgeous hanging heart in one of my favourite colour combinations - red and white. Also a very cute stitchery pattern of two little trolls. It is by a Norweigan designer so very new to me. Thank you so much May Britt.
Miss Marple is about to start so I'll finish with this nice photo of Anne Ida. It was lovely to meet her and I hope she enjoys the rest of her stay.
thank you! i was reading through my blogs and i forgot the time - i nearly missed miss marple.
ReplyDeletelooks like your weekend away was fun - i can't see what you made. is the pouch thing a pencil roll?

What a wonderful weekend with all these talented people you met!!
ReplyDeleteLove the photos of a great weekend with fellow stitchers. I have a roll like the one you received and it was from the Bareroots range and it is a roll for keeping your embroidery floss's in nice and straight, that is if you don't wind them onto cardboard. Quilty hugs Dawn x x x
