It was really lovely to see old friends and new. The workshop ladies were lovely and made some amazing printed fabrics.One of the  Most amazing was meeting Zsophia who  along with some of her textile friends had my Silk book and were from Hungary.If you get to read this post ..I hope you all enjoy playing with the Rusting Powder .Also Denise from Luxemburg…I hope the ladies of your weekly have a creative time with the Rusty Stuff….

I never fail to be delighted at the way textiles can be a universal language.

I did learn alot from the Russian Quilters…with oohs and ahahs it is all you really need to communicate….but I just could not get my tongue around the Swedish for Vinegar…..let alone the Spanish……but there was a tremendous amount of giggling….

They are not stitched yet because of the temperature has incredibly high and has obviously affected my hand-eye coordination. We British like moaning about the warmth and the climatic discrepancies. I do believe my Australian friends are wearing wooly jumper and winter clothes. Our American friends are experiencing really weird weather in certain parts, Ohhh! We are never happy are we.

Today we have had a good time at work packing some glittery bits which will be on the website after the open weekend.

Also for those of you who are down in Cornwall I am traveling down and demonstrating at Porthleven at Arts and Graphics on Friday 10th July. Thursday 9th at SJL Card Craft in Taunton and then on the 8th July I am in Newton Abbot at the Craft Room (I remember having scrumpy at the Cider Bar, it is an evil and definitely has mind altering properties but boy did it taste good).

Craftynotions will also be at the embroiderers guide regional event which is at the Dame Alice Harpur School, Bedford. If anybody wants to order anything for collection please e-mail ahead at sales@craftynotions.com .
