It's time for our Spring Stitching Fest!
We start on the 18th May for five weeks - and there's a few spaces still available!  Come and join us!
Over the winter we've made cushions and some fabulous window's quilts - as well as getting our knitting needles going.
We're now busy planning our Spring Stitching Fest - and with all fingers crossed are hoping that three of our six meet-ups will actually be face to face!!!

Getting Started was a great success!
Our first online group beat all expectations!
1st Nov 20:
Design done, pieces cut & packs ready to post!
Will this work online???
We'll give it a go........
So much to think about:
​
What to make that would be easy enough / but not too easy..?
Something topical, and useful?
A project we could complete in 6 weeks?
How about a 'how to' booklet?
Can we make the technology work?
How can we make it a friendly, welcoming & supportive place to be.........
19th Nov 20: Â
We're off!
Two cameras!
Zooming with L plates!
We're all a bit nervous! And we had a few technical difficulties - but we got there - and we laughed together!
The stitching had started!
​
Each week saw our projects grow - some fast, some slower - but with friendship and encouragement, everyone made progress.
​
Well done everyone!!!
​
17th Dec 20:
It's nearly Xmas!
Projects finished or almost there. Â
Even some ideas for 2021!
We did it!! There was much delight at our achievements:
"It's been really great"
"I never thought I'd be able to do it"
"It wasn't only the stitching - it was lovely to meet up with everyone each week"
"I've made new friends!'
"Can we carry on next year?"
​
So we will!!! See you all there!
We'd love you to join us to
Carry on Stitching in 2021!
