January Meeting

Today was a members day so not so many of us present.  Everyone was working hard despite the coolness of the room as the village hall are having problems with the boiler!
I missed the December party as I had a nasty bug and was confined to barracks but everyone who attended enjoyed it.
I also missed the November meeting as I was on holiday in India.  What a spectacular place of stitch inspiration!  I had a wonderful time and can recommend it to anyone interested in going.  Because I was away, I missed the workshop with Helen Barnes making Bronte Needle Rolls.  There were several of these being finished off today so here are a few of them.



These are the needle rolls




Helen was doing this interesting piece, stitching into strips of painted fabric.


Diane's lovely piece of print and stitch.
