Pins and needles

Today was the opening of the Pins and Needles Show at the Metro Arena in Newcastle. It is one of Mum's favourite events and we were able for once to go on the first day.

It's a super show ,with everything that an embroiderer, quilter or card maker could ever want. The bead stalls were resplendent with gorgeous sparkly colours.

There are also exhibitions by local crafts people. Mum met up with some of her good friends from the Embroiderers' Guild. Here she is surrounded by other talented embroiderers - and you can just see some of their work on the walls.

We didn't spend a lot but bought a few supplies we needed and came home happy.
