Another lovely visit to Lewes for the East Sussex Guild’s biennial exhibition and sale. The members’ work was as beautiful as ever and we had an excellent time. We were rather busy so not much time to take photos but I did sneak off the stall for a few minutes for a bit of “retail therapy” ; )
And here’s a quick peak at my little stash of goodies:
Sari fabric strips from Janet at the Threshing Barn for my OCA course (you have no idea how long it took me to choose the colours, they were all so pretty!)
Threads from the Handweavers’ Gallery (also for the OCA course – I never bought anything this exciting for my Classics degree!)
And, the piece de la resistance, a Russian spindle and ceramic bowl from Ian Tait at IST Spindles. This one is being wrapped back up as it may yet be a Christmas present but I’m not sure if I can wait that long…..
Many thanks to the Guild for inviting us back this year and a huge thank you to all the members who helped us ferrying boxes in and out of the car, supplied us with regular teas, coffees and biscuits and even provided lunch orders to keep us fed and watered. Oh, and Pete says I mustn’t forget to mention the scrumptious homemade cakes : )

Wow, you got some fab purchases. The nettle yarn sounds interesting and your spindle is gorgeous!
Thanks, I'm really excited about the nettle yarn. It's tough stuff, rather like hemp, but seems to soften nicely the more it is used/washed. Should be fun!
