I was worried beforehand that an hour would be a long, long time to fill. But actually, it flew by.
I do hope that people found it useful. Although, I think I possibly got a bit carried away. I did far more talking than I intended.
Anyway, I was exhausted afterwards, so no sewing got done during the afternoon.
And a large glass of wine was called for in the evening. ♥
