A collection of photos was recently posted by The Craft Sessions' Felicia and I don't think she'll mind if I re-post some here. These were all taken at Slow Stitching in the Barn, a very special March weekend in Trentham, near Melbourne.

I particularly wanted to show you how beautiful the setting was – an historic barn with big wooden tables and whitewashed walls, big windows and plants drying from the rafters. And show some of the students' work – as you can see, there was a lot of stitching (and painting, and hand-quilting) going on, as well as the eating of delicious food and the making of new friends. A very special time altogether.

You can see more images from the event here at the The Craft Sessions blog.

    I have just bought your book Melissa and am really looking forward to trying some of your projects, especially upcycling old cashmere jumpers for my grand daughter and making slippers from old embroidered tea tray cloths and napkins which have been slumbering in my cupboards and drawers for decades.
