Bee Mascot!


Check out our new Bee Mascot, thanks to our talented felter Rachel (also known for her considerable baking skills!)


Rachel will be teaching a class at Rae's shop in June so if you think stabbing a little needle repeatedly into a little ball of soft wooly fluff  to make something this cute is your kind of therapy, get your name down with Rae! I'm already signed up! debs x
 
Well it finally happened - the first ever meet up of the Wendover Sewing Bee... and it was fantastic! 


The tea, chat and cake (thanks Rachel!) were free flowing - and a surprising amount of sewing got done, too - which was a good thing seeing as that was the general idea.


St Anne's is such a brilliant hall to meet in - lovely and bright with big tables to spread out on...



some people brought along multiple projects to share and ask opinions on and the creations being whipped up varied from quilts to cross stitch.  The Bee was what we had hoped it would be: an oasis of stitching calm where time was found to get on with it!



All in all, a lot of chatting about 'very-important-sewing-related-issues' ensued


and even I got some sewing done!  Mainly basting, if I'm honest. But the first block of my applique sampler quilt is finally starting to take shape... and this applique lark is proving quite addictive!




So if you or anyone you know is local(ish) to Wendover and fancies meeting up with others who are similarly bonkers about all things sewing related, do pop along to the next Wendover Sewing Bee on Tuesday June 11th, 9.00am-11am at St Anne's Hall, Aylesbury Road.

You will be very welcome!
