I'm very fortunate to live about a ten minute drive away from them. Julie is a lovely lady and great teacher. I recently attended a basic upholstery course and participated in one of their community sewing days, making shaggy quilts for women in shelters fleeing domestic violence. Learning new skills and giving back to community, a perfect paring.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10874587176818504414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-76601286788331459962016-05-31T05:14:31.978+10:002016-05-31T05:14:31.978+10:00Well, now the pressure is on me Ellsabe.

The friendly lady walk straight to the shelve and put your book in my hands. We discussed your previous books and it turns out that she is a massive fan of yours. Cannot wait to start reading. Long weekend ahead with rain predicted - nice excuse to curl up and read.<br />Regards<br />ElsabeElsabe Liebenberghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10640321362107249908noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-39586234094242014322016-05-28T16:11:12.433+10:002016-05-28T16:11:12.433+10:00Hello Ramona!

I've seen that Japanese embroidery on what I would call patched jeans but it was much nicer than our patching or darning. Enjoy your summer. xxrhonda jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08962112306968959985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-72790843741026628372016-05-28T15:34:30.960+10:002016-05-28T15:34:30.960+10:00A precious day coming up...Just me and our eldest ...A precious day coming up...Just me and our eldest granddaughter. She has just hit the teenage years. Our present was a trip to Stockholm by train, then a visit to the Ethnographic museum which is running a Japanese theme with workshops. Our girls spent a couple of weeks in Japan and fell in love with the culture and food. The present was a big success. So now I´m following it up with workshop nr 2 which has 4 themes. One is a method of Japanese embroidery which is practical and beautiful and is often used for mending jeans. Should be useful lol. <br />Best wishes from Uppsala, where we are now moving from spring into summer<br /><br />Ramona xxAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-645197116551743512016-05-28T01:38:57.395+10:002016-05-28T01:38:57.395+10:00Thank you for sharing the links.
