Hands up all those who went to Ally Pally! - hope like me you had a brilliant time.
I was there for two days and I very much doubt I missed anything, it was a great show.
Gravitated to Jane's stall as you might expect and within two seconds I saw and fell in love with the Old-Fashioned Sewing Set. It's just absolutely lovely and I fully intend taking it to Leicester and will start stitching it there - I'm looking forward so much to starting something new and knowing I shall have the whole day on the Saturday to just indulge myself in getting it set up etc. There will also be the Leicester project itself too of course - I may well find myself in an agony of decision as to what to start first!!
For those of you going to the Harrogate show do look out for 'Sewing Set' - the photos on the website don't do it full justice and it is of course lovely to stitch something that will be useful too.
Oh, isn't the world a lovely place when it's full of stitching stuff!!.............
