They Stitched with Helen & Nat

'

we head yet another wonderful day of stitching and sharing on Sunday here in Hobart.

As always my wonderful friend Jo added all of the special touches, this time aided by Judy – another one of my wonderful team who keep me on track..

the room looked amazing, in fact many said they felt like they were walking into a wedding!

One day I think Jo will be an event organiser or decorator…http://www.thebirdhouse.com.au/http://www.thebirdhouse.com.au/

Natalie Bird of The Birdhouse had travelled down from Brisbane to share her project on the day (and sorry I don’t have a pic of the gorgeous little needlebook she designed for the day – but Im sure someone will share it)

My project was this useful little project bag. It is perfect for storing your project for stitching on the go – in fact I think I need to make about ten of these…. I went a complete blank on a name for this so it is called ‘Vicky Victoria’ – meaning nothing at all, it just came to me..It has a little clear vinyl window so you can see which project you are grabbing to take to stitching group today. I included some gluestick applique (and I even pre printed all the shapes onto the Applique paper for the girls so they could get right into learning and appliqueing) And I used one of my favourite lace zippers so no insertion required

of course there was plenty of stimulation, inspiration and retail therapy available…

a little instruction and charity work to be done..and as always, we put a lot of love into yummy treats to keep the energy levels going.. Thanks once again to my three very clever girls for catering..We finished the day with lots of show n tell – Dee and Diane are always gold star finishers – they had many more to show…

a huge thanks to all who travelled from near and far to share the day, to Jo, judy, Linda, Molly, Tess and Tilly for working hard to make it happen and of course to Nat – it was lovely to chat and catchup for a few days

our next day was announced and details and bookings can be found on our website here.

hugs for today
Helen

PS: we have a few spare kits for Vicky Victoria available on the website also.
