December social meeting

 The next meeting is on Tuesday 3rd December and will be a social event. Please bring a plate with some food to share. We want everyone to bring something stitched they have been working on over the last year. In particular we would like to see items produced at the Alsager Creative Stitchers workshops (even if they are not quite finished). If you like you can bring one Christmas card and put it in the mix then take one (not yours) when you leave. There is a raffle planned, if you have any suitable prizes please bring them.

If you have a name badge please wear it as we have quite a few new members.

Please bring the travelling books so we can all have a look at them as well as passing them on.

There may be a bit of business i.e. deciding on the membership fee for next year. Fees are not due until May.

The programme for 2025 looks very promising.

November meeting

 The November meeting was very well attended and we had to keep on putting out more chairs and tables. Thanks to Ruth and Yvonne for showing us their method of working to make folded flowers pictures. We all had a go with great success. 

Ruth also brought her cushion and showed some of us how she made the diamond shapes for the rosettes.

Programme update

 Please update your old blue programme for 4th November 2025 to show a talk by Tina Saunders “An Embroiderer’s Tale”. The newly printed programmes do show this. If you are on this post you will have realised that the blog spot is alsagercreativestitchers.blogspot.com and not .co.uk as shown on the front of the 2025 programme.
