Sales table

Don't forget to have a search for any unwanted threads, fabrics etc for our sales table. Every time something is sold the proceeds go to the group. The money will be used to help the group book interesting speakers, go on trips and to provide materials for hands-on sessions.

Also, it's great having a rummage through all the bits brought in.

Next meeting

On Tuesday the 7th of June, 2016  Karen Parry of JJ Needles is coming to give us a talk at our monthly meeting.

Karen will be doing a sales table and will be selling good quality needles etc that are often difficult to buy locally.

Breakaway craft group

Today a few of us visited the Breakaway exhibition at Nantwich Museum. There's certainly plenty to look at. The theme is the local area and work inspired by the museums collections.

There were bold wall hangings and delicate smaller work. Some of the textiles were made into journals. They were particularly interesting.

Some work was based on maps and some on old books. There was some striking work based on clocks.

Generally, an interesting exhibition and certainly worth a visit.

There is also a small exhibition of paintings by members of Ann Roach's painting class in the corridor.

Work by members of the Breakaway group.

Cute little animals produced at the workshop.
