Urchfont 08

Here are a few photos from Urchfont and our wonderful summer school. First of all the friendship ribbons we made on the last morning, with everyone's names and a small momento of fabric or similar. Then just a small selection of the works produced from the workshop: -

Home from Urchfont

Here I am, back home from my very first Urchfont experience, at Sian Martin's Distant Stitch summer school, and my oh my what a sumptuous feast it was in every sense of the phrase.
I don't recall when I last met so many lovely people all in one go. And how often do you get a group of 20+ people and find not one disagreeable person amongst them?
The Urchfont food was absolutely amazing - again not one dud meal in the whole time, not even so much as a single boring biscuit.
And I learnt so much! True, we worked hard and long hours, but it was all very well worth it. Thank you to Maggie Grey and Sian Martin, and thanks too to all of my fellow Distant Stitchers, I learnt and took so much inspiration from all of you.
OK, way way too much gushing, let's call this a day before we all get a bit queasy and get it posted. And look at me - I'm a blogger now (didn't I promise I'd never do this?), and I've achieved my first assigned task from the 3 days.
