Art Quilting Studio Mag and christmas Shopping!

Just spent the day in Winchester Christmas market and managed to buy a few more presents.
Got home to find a copy of Art Quilting Studio Magazine with my article Beetles and pitcher Plants in. Not the Mag I had expected but even better. Going to see Blood Brothers this evening.

Basildon Guild and Canvey

Just got back from a good weekend with Mum on Canvey Island. She was better than I expected and managed to talk non stop for three hours on Sunday without loosing her voice! She also came with me when I gave my Embroidered bowls talk at Basildon Branch of the Embroiderers Guild and was made thoroughly welcome. They were a lovely bunch and also had visitors from other branches just come to hear my talk. Really looking forward to teaching them the bowls next year. Off ten pin bowling this afternoon with Sarah and Andy. At least I shall not bowl but will occupy Fraser while they bowl then going to Pizza Hut.

Winchester Guild Bowls Workshop

These three photos are of the Winchester Guild at their Bowls workshop. I think that they all look really happy and they were a delight to teach. I am always amazed at the diversity of the designs

Hampton Court Workshop Photos

These four photo were taken at my bowls workshop at The Embroiderers Guild Hampton Court. They show the group working and some of the pieces.

Had a busy week last week. gave a talk to the Beehive Quilters in Horley then taught the bowls and bugs workshop at the Embroiderers Guild HQ in Hampton Court Palace. Took us two and a half hours on the first morning to drive 22 miles!!!! The group I taught were lovely and the surroundings are beautiful. Off to Winchester Guild on Wednesday for another talk and workshop.

Here at last is the cover for my beetle kits.
I am off to teach at the Embroiderers Guild
tomorrow and will be teaching bowls and beetles.
Went to see grandson this morning. We are having him to saty
on his own for the first time this weekend.
