July 2014 - The Strawberry Tea.

9/7/2014

Before I begin the blog about the Strawberry Tea anyone looking for details of the Sue Rangeley Talk or about our forthcoming exhibition ‘Follow the Thread’, please scroll down below this piece.

The sun finally came out after a grey morning and added to the delightful ambience of our strawberry tea.

The committee had helped to organise the strawberries, homemade cakes, tea, coffee and fabulous raffle prizes, many with a strawberry theme, and had set out chairs in Dee’s lovely garden ready for the arrival of members at 2:00pm.

Do you think we are ready?
There wasn’t a needle or thread in sight as members gathered at Dee’s house for a relaxing afternoon of tea, cakes and, of course, the obligatory strawberries and cream.

Strawberries anyone?
The afternoon was spent catching up with each other, with lots of conversation and laughter. A wander around Dee’s garden was a delight and could easily inspire us all for future embroideries perhaps. It was good to see Jack Morton enjoy the afternoon as well as catching up with friends.

The raffle organised by Kath was great fun and took ages as winners had to ponder over the numerous prizes before making their final decision.
Sandie thanked Dee and husband Sam for hosting the tea. We all agreed it had been a lovely afternoon. As we left cakes were taken for family and friends with extra donations collected towards guild funds.

 

Reminders:

Please send Margaret details of your exhibition pieces ASAP.

Also send a photograph and brief description to Sandie for the catalogue ASAP.

Keep plugging the Sue Rangeley talk on Friday 5th September as well as our exhibition.

Saturday 2nd August is National Sewing Day and the guild are holding a small exhibition and workshop at the Harris Museum in Preston from 10:00am – 4:00pm. If you are able to attend please contact Dee.
