Wednesday 26th October saw us picking up our finest hand sewing needles to do needle turned applique in the form of hawaiian patchwork with Kate Smith. This is something you either find very difficult or you love. Personally I love the finished article, and Kate's samples were wonderful, but find the technique difficult to master. However I enjoyed our evening and it is certainly easier to chat when you are not sat at your machine.
We have had several new members join us this year and I hope they were able to get to know the other members whilst they enjoyed their stitching.

Next month we will be making a small Christmas Decoration.
You will need small contrasting pieces of material, some bondaweb, some beads, crystals, small buttons or other embellishment, a small piece of ribbon for making a hanger for your decoration, and some embroidery thread. Plus your hand sewing kit, and card to make a template. You will also need a small piece of pelmet vilene but this will be provided for those who have do not have it as part of their own sewing supplies.
Do come and join us for the evening if you are in the area.
