Last Sunday was our memorable annual Autumn Gathering -  a little earlier than usual because of a very busy couple of months ahead - but the sun shone and we thought of everything but the impending change of season.

The lovely Marg Low was our guest tutor this year. I have always loved her work - small and oh so cute little projects using combinations of painted wooden buttons, felt applique and cotton applique and I knew that our group of ladies would also love her.

RasberrychocolatebrownieJo as normal with the help of Judy and myself came up with a beautiful setting with lots of goodies and treats to make the day extra special for all.

We were in two minds as to whether to continue our gathering events... everything has its time and we were wondering if maybe we were ready for a change.. however of course everyone pleaded for another - so our Christmas gathering dates have been locked in for Sunday 24th November - lock it in ladies

or to be sure, you can book and pay your deposit now to hold your spot..

I look forward to seeing lots of finished projects on Instagram ladies....
