Our May Meeting

 Another good meeting on Saturday with the usual busy stitching morning. Members brought their entry forms for our exhibition, A Celebration of Stitch, to our secretary Nicky, who was also our speaker in the afternoon. She was brilliant! A natural. Her talk about how she came to create her online business, designing and producing her cross stitch kits, was very much enjoyed. It was the final session of Colleen’s contemporary canvas work course which has produced some beautiful pieces. Many thanks to her for her tuition, and for bringing materials and examples of her own superb work. Eileen’s course has one more session, and we’re looking for two new tutors for the next stitch club. Don’t be shy!

As for those entry forms, another reminder (one can’t have too many) to attach part A of the form firmly to the bag/wrapping containing work to be exhibited, with the member’s entry form number clearly written on said bag/wrapping, as well as on the back of each piece of work. Please attach D rings and cord for hanging to each piece. All entries to be brought to our next meeting, 28th May. Thank you! 

Also on the 28th please bring the depictions of a stage musical for the visitors’ competition. All Shirley needs is your name on the back. Easy. At this meeting too, all the lovely things to decorate Moira’s hedgerow are to be given to her, and donations for the sales table to Angela and Maggie.
