Sewing Sleepover

Home again after a fabulous weekend spent with eight lovely ladies and hosted by  my friend Sue.

001

We sent hours playing with our “Happy Village”…

004

020

and often asked each other why we were doing it..

019

I wonder how many of the villages will be completed?????? I still have a longggggggggggg way to go………..

On Saturday Loris ( one of our Patch Lady’s) come over with her pots of dyes and the visitors enjoyed dying all their white fabrics…

009

There was lots of oo’s and ah’s as the fabrics were removed from the bags, washed, then dried to reveal all the pretty colours…..

016

025


Sunday morning we all went to my favourite seaside cafe for brekky…

037

and then back to Sue’s for some more playing.

Thank you Sue and all the ladies for a great weekend… Hope we can do it again!!!!!!!!

    The village looks wonderful. How big will it be in the end?

    Those fabrics are stunning hanging out like that. I can understand all of the excitement over them.

    Looks like a wonderful time. You could even hand dye some matching DMC thread when doing the fabrics!
