On 6^th October 2021 – we had very select little band at our Sit and Sew with 13 members participating.

On 20^th October 2021 – was very interesting talk from our speaker Jackie Partridge from the Make-it Happen shop in Maylord Orchard.  Jackie has a very interesting background in fashion and costume.

3^rd November 2021 – Sit and Sew

17^th November 2021 – another Sit and Sew which was a very pleasant evening with about 15 attendees including 3 new members. We all introduced ourselves and our background in fabrics. Those present voted unanimously to have a normal Christmas ‘Do’ with bring and share supper and if at all possible hold a Christmas card challenge or everyone bring a Christmas item that they have made in the last 30 years! They also voted to have a Saturday sewing day in the New Year to reboot the sewing 🧵 calendar. 

1^st December 2021 – The Christmas ‘Do’ – a very enjoyable evening with some beautiful Christmas projects entered into the penny vote.  Just about everyone who attended brought a piece of work to enter. We had a quiz and very enjoyable “bring & share” festive refreshments

We held our first face to face meeting on the evening of 4^th August with 21 members attending.  The show and tell was a great ice breaker and members have certainly been busy during the last year or so with some amazing and varied items shown.

We held our second face to face meeting on 18^th August with 19 members attending.  Some of Angela Howard’s fabrics/books etc. were brought to the meeting and sold on her husband’s behalf to raise money for St Michael’s Hospice.  We have been informed that £137.50 was raised.  Thank you to all who contributed.

A very select little band of 7 met on 1^st August.  Hopefully this is simply because some of you are away etc. it being so close to the bank holiday.

All members are invited to join our ‘Show and Tell’ meeting by Zoom on Wednesday 21st October.
