A grand day out

On Tuesday I was up bright and early to go into Battle....

with five keen machine embroidery students!

Courtesy of Jenny's book and Gina's workshop idea, we made a collection of some rather beautiful bags. 

 They weren't all completely finished by the end of the day, so for the purposes of the photos some of the tassels are "unattached" and need a bit of a haircut...don't look too closely!

Jean's 

(with free machining!  There was a certain amount of bullying and cajoling, but we got there in the end!)

and last but by no means least, 

Anne Marie's:

Thank you for a grand day out, ladies!
