Preparations are in full swing for "Urban Stitches" and "Imagine Vietnam"! Over the next few week I will be focussing almost solely on these exciting retreats making sure that all of my projects are prepared, patterns are written and the fully inclusive kits are ready for the excited participants. This involves plenty of days hand stitching, shopping as well as cutting and sorting, every little task building the anticipation more and more!!!
There are no more places available for "Imagine Vietnam" but we still have a few places available for "Urban Stitches" which is only a few weeks away. If you would like to join Rosie, Leanne and I for a day or two of stitching indulgence then please download the information here or register online here. We would love for you to come and join us!! Here is a little sneak peak of the stitching and fabrics used for my "Urban Stitches" project...
And I almost forgot to come back and reveal the winners of the catch-up giveaway!!! So without any further delay, the winners are....

I so want to go - but alas - it's the ONE weekend a year we have a Spring into the Country up here in Queensland and I always volunteer Sat and Sun morning as well as a stall with goodies for sale. Any readers in South East Queensland should check it out. Over 60 high quality stalls...and great food and coffee...

You are very talented and providing kits for those of us who need extra help is nice. Thanks for hooking up people with freebies as well.

I’ve long understand any web logs anymore due to the fact too a lot of weblogs were either boring or not present. Or at worst, both. Right here it can be unique, the website is thrilling and informative. Thank god you will discover even now this kind of sites on the net. Then once more it truly is really worth browsing.
