February – What a month that was!!!

We are almost at the end of February and it’s gone in a blink of an eye, but not surprised with what’s been going on this month in Abbieanne Land!

Started the month over in Spain and followed by a visit to Bristol Quilters to give a talk to a bunch of lovely ladies, the turn out was fantastic. (see previous blog).

Managed to finish a snuggle lap-quilt for a lovely friend ready for my trip to Ireland and to host another workshop, ‘Deco Days’ Clocks.

Middle of the month I was at Craft4Crafters for 3 days and met some wonderful ladies, new customers and old ones too! My workshops this time was learning hand quilting which went down very well, hope to see some of the ladies at my classes/workshops in future.

I also hosted a Sit N Stich session at Sew and Fabric were ladies brought their own projects to work on. Some Ladies ‘Getting to know their sewing machines’ .

I ran a Mystery Make workshop in the Therapy cupboard making ‘Deco Days Cushions Panels, this was so popular I have now announced another workshop date Friday 1st May in the Therapy cupboard, contact me if you would like to book.

In between the show, talks and workshops I have run my ususual Beginners and Experiend Hand and Machine Patchwork classes in the Therapy cupboard and in St Austell at Sew and Fabric.

My trip up in Stockton-on-Tees at Panico’s this weekend to run three different workshops has been cancelled due to bad weather. Sorry to dissapoint but will be up again in July.

As you can see I travel around a bit, so if you would like me to come give a talk or run a workshop/retreat then please get in touch.
