The cost is £20 for members and £25 for non-members. There will be a kit available on the day for £8 with charts, fabrics, threads and needles for 4+ projects. Liz asks that participants in the workshop bring their usual sewing kits, any lights or lenses they need, and a small embroidery hoop or frame. If they have any special threads they enjoy using then please bring them as well. Don’t forget a packed lunch.
The talk on 6th June is by Elizabeth Almond and is introducing you to new ideas with blackwork. Liz takes her inspiration from several different sources and is a very interesting speaker.
The meeting on 6th will be in the library meeting room as usual and will start promptly at 2pm.
Entrance is £3 for members and £6 for nonmembers.
Today’s meeting was to learn about the charity that helps ladies with hair loss to wear a scarf or headband in an interesting and stylish fashion. The charity sends out packs with caps, scarfs and headbands to cancer sufferers who are losing their hair due to treatment. Karyn explained how face to face or zoom meetings are arranged so different styles can be tried, and then demonstrated on herself without the aid of a mirror.
Please remember that entrance to the meeting is now £3 for members and £6 for non-members. Please bring the right money if you have it as change is scarce. Subscription for the year remains at £25
Some prior warning about the June meeting on 6th June. The topic is “Blackwork with a Twist” with Liz Almond
She is also holding a workshop on Saturday 10th June with the title “Islamic Inspirations “. The cost is £20 for members and £25 for non-members, plus £8 for the kit. The kit includes charts, fabric, threads and needles for 4+ projects. You will be able to book for this at the May meeting.
See previous post for details. After a short talk by Karyn we will be tapping in to the creative skills of the group to make head wrappers and adornments for the charity. People need to bring their usual sewing kit, bits and bobs such as small quantities of yarn, ribbons, beads, buttons, material, felt, also crochet hooks and knitting needles if you have them and know how to use them.
See you all at the library for 2pm.
