1st August 2015 – National Stitch Day at The Harris Library.

6/8/2015

Everyone was soon settled into their place as 10am approached. It was good to see members with a selection of work to display as well as their own work to stitch.

Although quite snug we stitched and chatted about many different things.

We had several people looking on to what must have seemed like the Sewing Bee but eventually several ladies came across to chat to us and join in stitching. Vicky had turned up to St Andrew’s in July when we were enjoying our strawberry tea at Dee’s house - something we need to advertise that meetings are held in alternative places for the summer -today being one of those days. She sat between Dee and Beryl and was soon into the swing of things making a needle case with fabrics kindly donated by Hobbycraft.

Another lady explained she was very interested in cross stitch and she sat and chatted whilst we stitched.

By lunchtime several members left and Sandie held the fort whilst other members arrived.

It was another enjoyable day- spreading the word about the Embroiderers' Guild and the work we do.

As the advertising slogan from the Guild reminds us, ‘You don’t have to be good you just have to be interested’.

Hopefully we will have several new members at our September meeting.


Around 4:00pm when we were packing up one of the library assistants said that it had been a very quiet day for the library. It was usually a lot busier on a Saturday. August the 1st had proved to be a popular date for several  other events taking place in and around Preston as well as annual holidays no doubt.

Thanks to the Harris Library for allowing us the space to sit and stitch and organising the area  and to Hobbycraft for their kind donation of fabrics for the day.
