That’s fine - it’s not a class and will be easy to join a bit later.

Hi Tracy, I’m so sorry I can’t make it in this weather - I was hoping to cycle but its around 40minutes and doesn’t look like its easing up.

It looked like a great session!

Thank everyone that took part in the Sashiko evening last night - especially coming on such a miserable night. I certainly enjoyed it and I hope you did too!

Apologies for my terrible photos

Thanks for organising this evening, it was fun to try something different. I’m interested in seeing how this embroidery moves into invisible mending.
Looking forward to next months meeting to learn other things.
