I had planned to go to Longframlington today to visit Anne, but because of the miserable weather, Malcolm decided not to come with me, as he didn't fancy beachcombing in the rain! So I set off all on my own, with just a bag of wine gums the radio to keep me company on the 90 minute drive. Of course as soon as I arrived the first thing I did was make a cup of tea (and a biscuit may have been consumed). We were a small company today, as regulars Margaret, Ros and Frances weren't there, but there was a newbie, Barbara. But the best thing was that Anne was there, looking much recovered from her recent bout of poorliness (is that a word?)
Sue was handpiecing hexagons
Barbara was working on her Whimsical quilt blocks
and Annie was prepping lots of circles, which she plans to use on a bag
after I had taken the photo of her circles, Anne reached under the table, and produced this stunning bag!
when I went (reluctantly) to give the bag back, Annie pointed out that I hadn't taken a photo of the side of the bag, which she said was her favourite bit
as always, there were lots of lovely new fabrics in the shop
did I buy anything? Of course I did! I'll show you tomorrow, and I'll also show you what I was sewing. But to finish - very good news if you are going to be anywhere near Longframlington next week ........ head to Stitchin' Heaven for their fabulous sale (Anne very kindly gave me the discount today, as I won't be there next week!)
