Needlework
Meetings are on the second and fourth Thursdays of each month in Leadon Bank Restaurant, from 2.00pm to 4.00pm.
At most meetings, our members bring their own projects, sharing advice and suggestions, and as on ongoing feature from time to time members lead workshops in needlework techniques, most recently on Patchwork and on Crochet. Always up for a challenge, members enjoy mastering new techniques and creating a splendid array of clothing, decorative and household items.
Preparing for Christmas is always a busy time for Needlework members and December 2018 was no exception. It always brings out the best in us. The sharing of ideas and solutions to problems never fails to delight and amaze as the photograph shows. It is of a quilted patchwork Christmas Plant Pot holder – a project brought in by a member who hosted a very successful workshop. Also, we did have a planned visit to a Needlework Supplier, who sadly let us down, but never downhearted, we will arrange something for early in 2019.
In order to spread our work, we use all of the space available and so have to consider the Group at capacity at the moment.
