In Tassie - One very special visit

One surprise visit which Fee and Jo organised for us when we were on our Shop Hop was a visit to the Pattern Press., It was such a privilege to be able to visit Helen 

and we did all manage to fit in around this hive of activity to see the patterns being printed and prepared for posting out. 

Helen was one of the tutors at our Sunday Stitching day, where she taught us her gluestick applique method.

It looks like Sarah, De and I were totally absorbed in what she was teaching us,.

and it seems we werent the only ones, one of the later groups to visit her were equally as focussed.

She also had for each of us this little parcel of charm “lollies”.  After all the chocolate of the previous days it was probably a good thing that they were  inedible.

We also got to see up close her work that was displayed on her table, as well as buy from her stock.  Her work is as beautiful as it appears on her web page – amazing stitching.
