These 2 piles of fabric were cut and piled onto the table at out crafting morning on Monday, by two (obviously) different people!
I'll let you guess who's piles they were, but I will give you one clue. The pink pile belonged to the same lady who finished off this gorgeous journal cover over the weekend.
I know where some of you would rather be..................
How great is that??? Just £6 to Hatherleigh K&N members - reserve yours today! (£8 otherwise).
Or maybe you're missing being here.....................
You can't beat a cup of tea and a little dream of our lovely market town.
Cover stories were the order of the day today at our workshop for removable slip covers, for journal and diaries.
It was generally agreed that it was lovely to be able to do a bit of uninterrupted sewing. Most people managed to finish their cover, with just one or two taking them home to complete.
Here's what we made.....
Country bunting made this such a pretty cover.
Made for her animal loving granddaughter, these pussy cats are sure to raise a smile.
All of the covers were lined with contrasting fabrics.
This cover had a cute little slot for a pen.
Not quite finished, but you know it's going to be useful with its pockets and tapes.
With more than a nod to Cath Kidston, this cover is going to be a really girly delight.
This morning we had our now regular, drop in craft morning. Where you are welcome to bring along any project you have on the go, and enjoy a couple of hours (10 - 1pm) concentrating on just that, whilst enjoying a cuppa & a biscuit.
Rag rugs was the order of the day today and they are progressing very well.
Dont they look great?
Next weekend Hathereligh hosts it's Festival with music and entertainment throughout the weekend. This week, in the run up there are workshops & exhibitions to keep you busy. Knit & Natter was asked if we'd like to take part, and we are delighted to do so, with our exhibition of knitted & crocheted Doorstops.
Here is a little taster, but you really must get yourselves along to the shop window to take a look.
This was a late entry, but we couldn't leave it out. The toadstool top is stuffed with dried herbs, so smells wonderful too.
I think they all look great. Congratulations ladies.
Some doorstops are for sale.
That was the story today. We began our rag rugs this afternoon with this popular and busy workshop which we will continue to do on Monday mornings, now that all our current patchwork projects are getting to be finished.
I'll keep you posted on the progress of our rugs over the weeks to come.
French Sue has been prolific in her craft recently and here she can be seen wearing a top she made the morning of our screen printing, so that she could decorate it in the afternoon! Beneath that is one of 2 matching quilts she made.
Good work Sue.
An inspirational gift & craft shop in a pretty market town.
