7th April 2015 – Stitch and Chat.

7/4/2015

1 Comment

 
Although it was Easter Saturday many members came along to the ‘Stitch and Chat’ day.

There was plenty of chatting and a wide variety of work; stitching, beading, bowl making, needle weaving, canvas work, crochet and some knitting to show.  Such talent; we are not just about embroidery.
The committee set to work to cut out the fabric and card for our 60th Anniversary Book and then, whilst some marked the grids in place, others glued the wadding onto the cards.
A table had been set up for the postcards that have been returned. What a delight they were; so different and a wide range of techniques used. Hopefully these will inspire others to return their postcards at the May Meeting, so that the book can begin to be completed.

Alongside this was a table for the ‘Travelling Books’. Yet again, these created great interest from everyone not just the members taking part.


At lunchtime, time was spent discussing the changes sent from Headquarters regarding the future structure of the guild. It was interesting to share thoughts and opinions.

Slowly members drifted home, several with another date for the postcard anniversary piece and with reminders to bring a couple of pieces for our mini exhibition to display at our Open Day in May. It was a very productive and enjoyable day for everyone.

Good to see a lot of familiar faces on this month's blog. I do look at it every month to see what you have been up to. The Cornwall Branch has their meeting on the first Saturday in the month, although this can be a flexible date. We are hosting the regional day in 2016, I am on the committee even offered to be treasurer. The last time Cornwall hosted the day was over 20 years ago so there are't any members who have organised the day and as I have helped with a couple I was asked to help. If you look on the Cornwall EG Blog you will see our poster for the day. I am going to This years Regional Day at Cheltenham on Saturday. I get to see my younger daughter and my sister.

I look at your blog every month and have got some of our members paying you a visit, everyone is impressed
