The hall slowly filled with members on Saturday. Several members were at the North West Summer School at Waddow Hall in Clitheroe and we look forward to hearing about, and seeing, their work; others were on holiday so, although slightly low on numbers, the interest and enthusiasm for stitching and crafting was as obvious as ever.
A table was set aside for the ‘Chairs’ Challenge’, which this year was a notebook cover using any technique. The winners would be decided by Dee and Brenda later on during the day.
After the notices had been given, the bunting project was explained and members enthusiastically took up the challenge. Each pennant will have a letter to spell out ‘Preston Embroiderers’ Guild’. We look forward to seeing the bunting come together in September.
During the day a range of work was being stitched and knitted and, as usual, there was plenty of fun and laughter.

At lunchtime Jack Morton and his daughters arrived and, after lunch with Dee and Brenda, the result of the competition was announced. As usual Jack presented the Wessex stitch trophy to the winner, which this year was Tracey. Her delight at winning was wonderful; she was so thrilled. Second prize went to Rosie and third to Ann. Well done everyone.
By early afternoon the meeting came to an end and members left with a little more stitching completed.
