Mkt Rasen class Xmas tree

I provided natural coloured 'almost evenweave' fabric for ladies to make into stuffed humbug sacks for decorations for the tree. All sorts of lovely ideas & designs appeared. Absolutely complemented by a super faith lunch as always. Thank you ladies! Merry Christmas!
Christmas for Market Rasen class. Dec 2015. 'Shepherdesses'

  Finished my canvaswork from a Christmas card sent to us 2 years ago. It just seemed to lend itself to the interpretation, I really liked the design. Worked on natural canvas with free canvaswork stitches & diagonal darning background. Threads a mixture of stranded cottons, perle, wool & gold. Shepherdesses crooks are wrapped wire. Sheep are french knots & cross stitch.

Grasby WI 80th Anniversary

Had a lovely evening yesterday at the 80th anniversary celebration of Grasby WI. Past members were invited to a super flower demonstration by Caroline Jackson & then treated to sandwiches & cake, tea, anniversary cake & toasting drink. A lovely evening enjoyed by a large number of people. I was lucky to win a raffle prize, but not one of the flower arrangements. Very good.
