Next Meeting: Jan 3rd, Workshop - "Lantern" with Cathy Emmott

 

We finished the year with a Christmas Card swap and a Jacob's Join.

2024 begins with a workshop by Cathy Emmott. 

 What a fabulous way to start  the New Year.

Next Meeting: December 20th, Stitch Day and Jacob's Join

 What a fabulous day we had with Anne Brooke creating our collage paper boxes lined with fabric and machine embroidered. There was no time to be complacent and chat, so much to do! After designing the collage from the vast quantities of paper supplied by Anne, we had to crack on with machine stitching, hand stitching, embellishing and constructing! Only one box got completed and as the theme was festive, it looks wonderful on the Christmas tree, holding snug, a chocolate orange.
