Hi Cuties,We do a few projects together but do our own things also, no pressure at all... we started out with machine knitting some still knit It takes place in Blackpool,U.K. The price is about £130 for half board I think it's a bargain and look forward to it .....Bernadette

Its years since I visited Blackpool, my grandparents lived nearby and I still have memories of taking my Granny shopping there and going on an escalator with her. With her bifocals she could not judge correctly where to put her feet and kept getting them in the wrong place. Then she would topple forwards or backwards with me behind pushing or grabbing her into place. Oh how my mum laughed when I told her what had happened. Enjoy yourselves. What do you hope to sew

That's so funny,I think I need to finish some half done projects,
I have till the end of the month to decide..

We used to visit Blackpool for the illuminations when I was nearly a teenager. Now we prefer the calmer atmosphere in Fleetwood, up the coast for the Folk Festival.
How on earth do you decide what to take with you?

berny by berny 03 Mar 2014

We go to Fleetwood Market, not very calm,just what you would take to a workshop and anything I see on the way out, just in case I need it.You can get most things that you might run out off local.
and all the ladies will help or share if need be
The laughs are free and there is lots of that..

Now we need to know whereabouts/country/state is this held? What projects do you work on? This does sound interesting.Other than your hotel room is there any other charge? Sounds like a great vacation/get-a-way.
