Margaret invited me to join her on Friday, a trip to the craft fair held at Aintree. It had been organised by her sewing club but it was good to see Jennie, Barbara and Audrey in attendance as well.
I like this venue and it was also good to be taken there by coach. I did not get the chance to attend any mini workshops as I wandered around, spending money and chatting to the many people there that I knew.
There was no HQ presence but Merseyside did us proud with their exhibition and demonstrations. Each time I passed by , I saw that it was very busy.
I spent some time with friends from Preston Threads and One Step On.
There were exhibits of costumes from Downton Abbey.
and one of our members, John had a piece exhibited in the Madeira Competition.
Lunches were easily obtained and a reasonable price. My only hesitation is like many of these fairs, there is a massive amount of card making and associated crafts and very limited “pure embroidery”
