January saw a visit from Philippa Naylor. We are lucky that she lives just up the road in Beverley and was able to fit us into her busy schedule. What an inspiration to see her award winning work on a bleak January night, and to hear her amusing anecdotes of how she became such a famous quilter. Just what was needed to motivate us to get back to sewing after the Christmas break. Have a peek at the meetings review section to see some photos.

We have another teacher coming to join us in February. Katie Chaplin from Japan Crafts. Katie will be showing us her techniques for making Kanzachi, or folded flower brooches. She will also supply the necessary kits, so all members need to bring along is their hand sewing tools.  Very easy for everyone.  I am looking forward to a convivial evening spent sewing in the company of friends.
