Although it's summer, and I could be making pieces about swimming and the sea side, I've had foxes in my head again, and so out they came, and of course in the snow, and with bunnies too.

Clever stitchers at the end of a creative journey with their beautiful pieces, thank you ladies for making it such a great day!

Chelmsford Embroiderers Guild

I have been west, east and in the middle of the country in the last week, meeting so many wonderful and inspiring stitching enthusiasts, Cowslip Workshops in Cornwall, Chelmsford Embroiderers' Guild and Lutterworth Embroiderers' Guild, all of which made me so welcome, and it's just been so fantastic to see the wealth of creativity amongst those clever people.

I love it, I love the travelling, I love the union of meeting people with a common interest, I love the soaking up of the stitching atmosphere, and then when, as all good things have to come to an end, I love the coming home.
