A Day in the Country with lovely Gail

A glorious summer day in the mid 20s with a clear blue sky and a very gentle breeze.  Set amongst green pastures sits a charming old hall.
On Saturday that hall was filled with chatting, laughing, eating, stitching ladies.  We were at a stitching day with lovely Gail Pan.

Of course there were naughty tables

and angelic, well behaved, hard working tables.
There were prizes to be won, many by people on our two tables
and lots of new designs on show, 

many of which are in Gail's new book 

Simply Christmas Book 4  - here's Gail autographing a copy for Annie and a copy for me.  
I love these books and now have all four - I've stitched so much from the first three and I'll be putting Book 4 to use throughout the year as I get ready for Christmas in July and then Christmas 2016.
I love these days with Gail, she is such a lovely and talented lady.  Many thanks to wonderful Annie who drove me there...and home again...and it certainly was wonderful to catch up with so many dear stitching friends.

I'm playing along with this fun event this year.  Don't think I'll make all the blocks, I'll try for about one a week.  I'm sure I'll learn so much.  Pop over and visit HERE to find out all about it.


How amazing is this quilt?
Made in Kona Cottons it is a free pattern from Robert Kaufman Fabrics. Just follow this LINK to download the pattern.  It was designed for Robert Kaufman by Susan Kephart.  Huge thanks to all involved.

Hope your day is full of fun
Love
