January 2020 - Stitch and Chat

4/1/2020

0 Comments

 
The hall was buzzing as members gathered for the first meeting of the New Year. In fact more tables had to be set up.
​
Carolynne was on hand in her new role as membership secretary to welcome any visitors and five new ladies came through the door. Welcome to everyone. They seemed impressed with the folder Carolynne had put together showing the range of day school and workshop activities we have held in the past.
After the notices everyone got to work on their own projects. Some projects from a previous workshop were being finished. 
​Others included reverse appliqué, bead work, crewel work, cross stitch, soft toy projects, patchwork, appliqué and drawn thread work. Again we were amazed at the variety of techniques being stitched. Through numerous cups of coffee and tea, we all caught up with family news and activities from the holiday season.
Eventually the committee retired to the meeting room to discuss and plan future activities, including the Savick bunting project, the Exhibition sashes and the NW Regional Chair’s challenge. Instructions and materials will be available at the February meeting.
​
By early afternoon members started to pack away, our new visitors had thoroughly enjoyed their day and mentioned that they were interested to visit again.

Keep stitching everyone.
​A.R.
