A couple of weekends ago I went to the annual gathering at Evandale. This years the tutors were Natalie, Brenda, Gail and the ladies from Blue Willow Cottage. It was a great day. Lots of stitching and heaps of giggles.....
The gorgeous Ladybird goodies designed by Natalie...definitely on the to-do list one day!!
Buttons and Bows designed by Gail.....also on the to-do list!!
This is the chatelaine I made on the day.... the amazingly sweet, helpful, and extremely bossing Marie helped me. (LOL) What a lovely lady...you would never have guessed she had been a nurse. If it hadn't have been for Marie and her organisation skills (yep, she bossed me well) I would never have almost completed this on the day!! I have always wanted to make a chatelaine....this one has a scissor keep, a thimble pip, a pin wheel and a needle case.Thank you Marie, and thank you for a great day ladies!!!

I've had bits cut out for ages to make a chatelaine, your post has inspired me to pull it out and put it together! Very pretty!!
My grandfather was born in Evandale, what a pretty little town it is, it would be a good place to have a stiching weekend!
How can someone be sweet and bossy at the same time? ;)
Looks like a great day, the chatelaine is gorgeous.
