Temptations

From grubs to kimono | The Japan Times Online

Here's some temptation for a wet Saturday! Read the article above. Then have a look at Nat and Bryan's blog
I am hoping to join the trip next year...got to save the pennies and the yen but what a fantastic opportunity, priceless really.

Here's another opportunity of a very different kind...
Jacquie Harvey has designed a wonderful BOM which shares her wonderful handstitching techniques. It's open to everybody, worldwide, and starts in January 2012. The best way to join in is to be a Quilters' Guild member and join by email as it will only cost £10, that's in total, for the whole year's patterns and support from Jacquie. Non-members and those without email can also join but it will cost a little more. Application forms and more details are on Jacquie's website,  where you can also see more of her stunning work.  You can also contact Ros Peedle at QGBI Region 9 ros.peedle@live.co.uk
for more information.
That's enough temptation for one post.  My DH is on a jolly with his brother, it's raining and I've had to put the splint back on my knee after seeing the doctor yesterday - torn ligaments!  So, all things considered, I think it's a sewing day.  Have a great weekend.

  3. Oh WOW Yes what an opportunity! How fabulous to see all that. I would love to join in but can't afford it this time round, I will just have to drool over your posts :-) Rest up and get that knee better for the adventure. I couldn't get the other link to work either?
