There was something for all levels of skill at Phillippa's crewel workshop, our October meeting. We had several visitors, and we ranged from relative newcomers to this particular embroidery, to the very experienced. Everyone seemed to enjoy the day, and we all left knowing about (and able to stitch) laid and couched work. It will be interesting to see all the peonies when they are finished, and the little crewel work example on everyone's challenge sampler!
Those patchworkers among you might like to check out the Fobbles link , as they have a sale day coming up very soon, when many of their lovely fabrics will be reduced in price.
The new Embroidery/ Beading shop is now open in Cockermouth. The Silver Beaded Needle is in Lowther Went, and is stocked with some gorgeous threads, and packs for all kinds of embroidery.
I have added the blog links of two other guilds in the north, Parbold, and Blackpool .They both look very busy, and produce lovely, inspiring work. If you haven't already, take a look.
Have you found a book or a shop recently, which you think we should all know about? It would be great if you could write a review for the blog. Let me know!
