Last weekend from the 3rd of November to the 6th we were lucky enough to attend Stiching, Sewing and Hobbycrafts at the NEC. Tonnes of interesting activities were going on, including workshops and exhibits. Our #petalsandpictures frame made its debut and arguably stole the show on our stand!

If you visited our stand, you will have a received a lovely warm welcome to what we do, and to top it off, a money off voucher. The lovely Lisa, Emily and Tracey were our representatives and they embody our welcoming company spirit.

Sewing, Stiching and Hobbycrafts at the NEC was the debut of our brand new picture frame, created by our very own Tracy Rowbottom. We thought it was a great way to engage with you lot and give you the opportunity to take something home to remember the event with. Loads of people wanted their picture taken, and we’ve featured a few of them here. Don't worry if your not here, you'll feature on our Facebook page at some point!

This event gave everyone the opportunity to develop and enhance their skills. They varied from the Learn To Sew Studio to Japanese Embroidery. The chance to learn and develop is one of many aspects that makes this event great. I know we learnt a few things and hope you did to.

Overall this event was great for us, we showcased many of our new things, from products to our frame and met loads of you guys! Some of you new ones have already been in to see us in store. Let us know your take on the show and post your pictures at @countrybaskets on Facebook and Twitter.
