class preparation nearly done

cruise supplies
I’m nearly done with all my preparation for my cruise classes. There are piles of stuff on the table, each one for a different class, plus other piles of stock to sell.

I’m still undecided about whether to take my laptop with me on the cruise. It would mean that I could work on the book in my spare time, but part of me thinks it would be really nice to just have a break!

I still have some research to do about where to see/purchase silk fabric in Bangkok. If you have suggestions, please let me know! The Queen Sirikit Museum of Textiles is on my list of possible things to do while in town.

I’m not sure if there’s anything textiley to see/do in Ho Chi Minh, but surely there is… 🙂

One of the things I’m most looking forward to is not cooking for two weeks! I do enjoy cooking, but you know how coming up with something interesting for dinner each night can be difficult at times.

More to do, so I’d better get on with it!

    I was trying to find the pattern for the morning meadows pincushion. I just can’t seem to figure out how to find your patterns. Can you help me?

    Hi Brenda, On my website it is called Blue Green Hardanger panel. It’s not actually a pincushion but you could certainly make it into one. 🙂 http://www.vettycreations.com.au/blue-green-hardanger.html
    It also comes in a raspberry colour way.

    Yvette,
    I purchased this pattern (2016?)
    I made a couple biscornu for gifts.
    I have to say how much I have learned since then.
    I also have your book.
    I have enjoyed it very much.
