When the Quilting Queen and the Crafty Princess and I were at the Craft Show we saw the Needlework Tour people. I have been past their stall every year for years...and always get their lovely brochure...and daydream. But this time with aiding and abetting from the Quilting Queen we are going in 2013. The tour starts in London and there are two or three different itineraries....and because it is so far (literally the other side of the world from Sydney) and because it costs so much to get there, we decided that we would do two tours combined. The Stitches and Stately Homes Tours - Tours A and B, England Scotland and Ireland and then Southwest England and France.....will cost me a bomb but will love every minute of it. History and stitching PERFECT. And 5 days off in London in between....happy days.
Maybe we could organise a stitching day in Hyde Park or Kew Garden or Trafalgar Square.....got to save up now. So no more buying of stash....will definitely have the stash whittled down by September 2013
