Freestyle craft at Shearer’s

Here’s some snaps from yesterday’s workshop at Shearer’s. I had such a great morning wandering about and chatting to everyone as they stitched and got creative. I suggested people make brooches or fridge magnets, à la some of the pieces in the new book, but as always it was great to see the variety of ideas people came up with after such small direction. It made me itchy to sit down and try some new techniques I picked up from those crafters with different skills to me, like this cute & tiny blanket stitch below.

We also had a few kids on board, which was lovely to see – there’s nothing nicer than watching mother & child lost in making something together.
