If I've been a bit quiet over the last month it's because I've been getting ready for my embroidery adventure to India! I'm off on a textile tour of Gujarat with Colouricious Holidays next week so if you want to follow along with our adventures check out my Facebook page or Instagram page (sarah_homfray_embroidery or search #colouriciousholidays)! If you are packing for this trip too, I look forward to seeing you on Wednesday!
 

For anyone who missed out on this fabulous trip, we'll be off again in 14 months time to the wonderful city of Jaipur in Rajasthan. Visit the Colouricious Holidays page here to see more on this and all of their wonderful holidays:

While we are on the theme of India with this month's trip, why not have a go at your own embroidery? The area we are going to is famous for it's Shisha embroidery so why not have a go from the comfort of your own home? We have videos on the shisha stitch and beads and sequins (look in the stitch library) as well as loads of shisha mirrors, lots of lovely bright coloured linens and lana threads in the shop!

Afternoon tea at Bettys Cafe Tearooms
with Eternal embroidery
 

There's still time to book on our stitching retreat at the famous Bettys Tearooms in Harrogate. Join Angela and I for some teatime fun involving teapots, cups and saucers, cakes (we'll be eating these), silk ribbons, goldwork threads and metals and more!
 

 

For all the details and to book your place visit the
Eternal Embroidery website here

The Knitting and Stitching show at Harrogate starts the day after our retreat, so why not make a mini break out of it and stock up on supplies! Visit their website for all the details:

In the shop this month

Ribbons
Our ribbons have been extremely popular over the summer but they are all back in stock plus a new 2mm green ribbon to add to the collection. Use the ribbons with chenille needles and don't forget our free YouTube videos on this beautiful technique!



Wing nut tightener
Embroidery is easier if you have a nice solid frame to work on so take the strain away and tighten your versatile table clamps with our new wingnut tighteners! They come with a hanging ribbon so you can keep them to hand.
