NZ Summer Stitch Day today- making embroidery visible.
and I visited the beautiful gardens at today and met hosts Stephanie and Laurie. We set up our stitching ‘station’ as other visitors admired the blooms. We were joined by a lovely English lady, here on holiday who had bought some stitching along on her travels. Mel helped her with some stitching techniques and I gifted her with a little piece of silk ribbon embroidery to remember the couple of hours we had spent stitching together. Such an inspiring place to visit, it was hard to pack up and leave.
