This is the first group to have a go. It was good to see that quite a few men wanted to try too.About Me

- Following a lifetime spent in teaching, I'm now enjoying the luxury of having time to indulge in a wonderful hobby. I also now have time to visit my son, his wife and baby in US. Time too, for seeing my other son frequently. Keith, my husband is often drystone walling and climbing...so a girl's got to find something to do. Great news, awaiting the birth of twin grand-daughters in early October 2011...more quilts needed! Ireally welcome welcome your comments and interest in my blog. Thank you. P.S. I'm the one on the right!

A New Venture
Had a lovely time lately playing with flower hammering. I've seen Jane Rollason at lots of shows and did some as part of my City and Guilds Course. Now I'm heavily involved in starting up a social group for retired and semi-retired people which will contribute to living well in the third age. We hope to provide lots of opportunities for social, physical, creative, spiritual, charitable and intellectual pursuits, meeting together on a weekly basis.
Thursday was Launch Day and I'm pleased to say 20 people attended. I decided to teach flower hammering to a group and I was
delighted at how many people wanted to try. This is my sample which I stitched with free motion stitching. I've spent this afternoon doing some more hammering to take as samples next week. Would you believe, the leaves of some weeds gave really nice results!
