Sewing brings you together

Apologies for the later than usual post, and its unusual brevity - I have just walked in from a lovely workshop over in Barrowford, Lancashire.  Led by Gail Pan, and hosted by Patchwork Chicks, the workshop consisted of nearly 20 friendly ladies all working together to produce a stitchery and appliqued fronted bag.  Sounds easy?  After nearly 6 hours I had just about completed most of the central part of the central banner (as you can just about see from the work in front of me)!  However I had also had a fantastic time, meeting new friends such as Jill and Christine on our table and Karen who runs Patchwork Chicks - not to mention Gail Pan herself (in the centre of the photo) who gave each of us a huge hug as we left - we really felt as if we had made some good friends.

As it so happens Christine runs her own blog - Patchwork Allsorts - whilst Gail's blog is here.  If you happen to get the chance please pop over and pay them both a visit.

As for the bag - well you heard it here first - I will pledge to finish the bag by this Sunday - if only so that I can show "Sewing Buddy"!!

    Yes you are late, been eager to hear your news, sounds wonderful, just checked out patchwork all sorts, lovely works.
    Can't wait to see the bag.
    I got my book last week, has yours arrived, very nice.
    I expect you are feeling exhausted now, hope you have a good nights sleep.
