Last weekend I had the absolute pleasure in participating in Stitching On The Bay here...
Upon arriving this is the scene that greets one at the door...
goodie bags for everyone...and then towards the back of the photo are 2 shop stalls
set up by Stephanie and Emma...
This is the table that I sat at...the farthest seat on the right at the head...
Some of the Fat Quarters available at Steph's...
The Raffle Quilt put together by one of the local Sewing Groups...to be drawn later in the year...
Starting from the left and going round we have...Trish, Mary, Shirley, Jenny and Marianela ...
Marianela took this pic...I won a Lucky Door Prize!!!
Aussie Stitching magazines, a Tilda Stitchery at the back and a Thread Holder...
The stitchery says...chugs for all that centers! Not entirely sure though of what it means!!!
Back of the stitchery showing some of the other designs...
Tilda originates somewhere in Europe...
The board out the front showing the projects for the day...
all of the projects had most of the materials available in a kit
with minimal pre-preparation!!!
And hanging on the board was this sweel little strawberry pin cushion and Clover Thread Cutter holder...that made my decision easy for today...I fell in love with it and I was determined to finish one today!!!
All I had to supply was the thread and the Cutter!!!
Lunch ended up being a gluten free one...lucky for me!!!

Dzintra, your little pincushion and thread cutter is beautiful. It looks like you had a really great day. I would have loved it. Shame, I dont know of anywhere in the Uk that does this sort of thing. hugs xxx
What fun! Your doorprize looks wonderful - good for you. That lunch looks tasty too.
What fun Dzintra! I love your thread cutter and the little bag at the end! Seeing all the fun inspires me! I can't wait til I'm done with my garden stuff to get to my stitchery! I pulled it out last evening... and laid out all the pieces, read the instructions and am getting ready to make my try at it.
