A great stitchers' weekend!

Last Friday I drove about 300km to spend a weekend on a holiday motel called Onnela with 22 other stitchers. Onnela means something like haven and that it surely was! The whole weekend meeting new stitching friends, eating good food, laughing A LOT and of course stitching! :D We had so much fun and I really can't even remember last time I have laughed so much.

Lilian Kok from the Netherlands came to teach us. She is such a sweet and wonderful person! She runs a mail art group at Yahoo and knows so much about diffirent stitching styles. She is also the person behind the My Aunt's Attic. She taught me some basic Hedebo and I will definitely try to learn more from the internet since it can be used for so much. Thank you Lilian!

She also designed us two charts. I managed to stitch the tin topper and some of the scissor case. The tin topper still needs a ribbon or a cord around the edge. When the scissor case is ready I'll use it to keep my iPod in it. :) I changed some of the colours of the designs, I changed the yellow for pale lilac and violet for Atalie's thread Rubis.
