That was another lightning fast week on the sewing front – on Thursday I was teaching the first of my Beginners Quilting classes at the Stitchery, and the constellation of stars is certainly going to be colourful! I have 6 ladies covering quite the range of fabrics, and I look forward to sharing the finished results in a few weeks.
From Friday after work until Monday evening I was with my good friend Sarah, who has moved herself, her family and her sewing cupboard off Shetland and down to the mainland, so I can actually drive there in around 4 hours. Well, it takes rather longer if you do as I did on the way home and careen to a halt every time to see a photo op, but it was a lovely way to spend a fairly sunny day, just dotting around between Forres and Aviemore. After that I hit the A9 and cruised on homewards at a relatively good pace.
Needless to say, sewing has been about zilch, but we did get a chance to lay out the final rounds of Brit Bee medallions for a couple of people, and I got a flock of geese stitched up which I was with Sarah, so we are edging ever closer to a full reveal…
In the meantime, since I can’t leave you without a photo, here’s what was left right next to my bed. I can neither confirm nor deny if it was still exactly like this when I left ;o)
I would love to organise my fabric like that! Sounds like a lovely and relaxing trip!
Oh I would have filled my boot; sorry Sarah!!

How lovely to be able to visit Sarah, and take photos on the way back too. I bet you had quilty dreams
I'm looking forward to some stunning views of the Highlands! Glad you're enjoying your class.

The stash doesn't stay organized for long, does it?
Sounds like a lovely week and weekend!
