A Grand Day Out.

Photo stolen from Susan, sorry! :o)

Yesterday, you may recall, I was on a (limited) day pass with the ladies of the Brit Bee over at Susans house.  It turns out, all of these lovely ladies will be at the Retreat, and what a great opportunity to get to meet a few more of them before the big weekend (just 8 weeks to go, wooohoo).  As Susan realised I am a bit shy (ha, ha as if) she kindly invited me over to eat cake (I pretty much didn't stop the entire time I was there) and chat with a very talented bunch of ladies.  

I know lovely Trudi and Di from the East Midlands Modern Quilt Guild, and of course I met the incredibly talented Katy at the Uttoxeter Show a few weeks back, and Laura Jane briefly to hand over my Low Volume squares for the swap she did at the end of last year.  But Terri (hilarious), Judith (gorgeous, and really sweet), and Hadley (super talented, with a steely wit) were all new to me, and thoroughly lovely they all are too, they welcomed me in without even an eyelid batted!

Also stolen from Susan, shamelessly

I loved seeing all of the beautiful makes (handmade bags were everywhere, every single one was beautiful), I barely knew which one to stroke first! (just to clarify, i didn't stroke any ladies), chatting fabrics and eating some fabulous food.  The day was all too soon at an end, which is how I never made the photo, I did my best Cinderella impression, and skipped out of there before it was taken, back to my little one and her den making daddy.

If I didn't shame myself too much (and get invited back), maybe my ugly mug will make the photo next time! :o)
