Toss n Tell is all about sharing
|
|
TnT is a great opportunity to share, ask questions or for advice - bring along any felt you have made or is in progress - recently or in the past. We love to hear about each other's experiences - both good and bad - and learn from each other. Don't be shy bring something with you - we will all love it. In particular anyone who participated in Sue Eslick's Hat & Cosy workshop please bring along your fabulous creations for us all to see. Or indeed Peta's needle felting back in February - wow was that this year it seems like such a long time ago.
