Yesterday I trundled off to the Daylesford Craft Experience - a one day retreat consisting of lots of food, lots of women and lots of hand stitching!
While there, I had the pleasure of meeting both Kristen Doran and Melanie Hurlston (from Melly & Me). Jodie Carlton was there too, but I already knew her... anyone who is anyone in Ballarat knows Jodie!
Most of the day I worked on stitching a motif designed by Kristen, which I plan on using in a patchwork scarf:
Here are some of the other designs that were on display from these very talented young women. Such an inspiration!
I bought the kit to make Melly's Elephant Cushion, which involves needle turn applique - a technique I haven't ever tried before:
It was such an enjoyable day, but I sure was tired by the time I got home!
Lucky girl!
