Last year I was invited to go to a stitching day with one of the ladies from the TVR CC ~ the first opportunity I had to go was October and it was a lovely day. It's held in a teaching room above Just Sew in Penrith, and I have stitched on various projects over the months. Our group meet the 2nd Saturday of the month so this morning I set off at 7:45, collected a friend and we took the journey across the A69 in glorious sunshine arriving a little after 9.
Today I finished (almost) my heart ~ this was from the foundation piecing class that I took at the Pins & Needles Exhibition last week. It still needs it's ribbon hanger and bow ~ but today I found that more than a little irritating, so rather than make a mess I set it aside. It's a little lumpy round the edges ~ not sure how to eliminate that ~ did I need to stuff it a bit more do you think?
We had a walk out at lunch to a local deli for gorgeous ham, brie and onion confit baguettes.
I also managed to finish my bookmark for the exchange I'm participating in on the Needlecraft Haven board. You will have to wait a while before I can show you the photographs.
I needed to get a button to add to my heart so while I was downstairs in the shop I had the obligatory mooch around and found this lovely trim to add to my stash. Just love the colours.
I didn't dare start to look at the fabric! I shall have to remember to take the camera with me next time to show you just what they carry.
We had a great journey home ~ it was 21C when we set off ~ in April!
We are going to try eating out here tonight and tomorrow I am having my first drive in this............
I have been assured by LM that it will have rear wheels by then!
Have a lovely evening
Kate.
PS ~ yes that is LM, not looking too lovely covered in car goop! Still he's happy!

Nice heart and lovely stash and mmmm nice motor :) love mouse xxx
That heart is lovely, the first time I did a heart the edges weren't smooth and round. I used cord to hide the lumpy-ness.
Your heart looks lovely. Lovely new ribbon stash. Hope you enjoy your drive.
