July meeting and AGM

Tonight we had to get the business side of the meeting over before we could begin to stitch.

The election of officers and the accounts were swiftly approved by the members and we can now go forward to another year with a healthy bank balance.

That done Mary Whitehouse was able to begin to show us her version of Slow Stitching. 

This gentle hand stitching way of recycling old scraps of material to produce a new piece of fabric was very relaxing. Repetitive sewing movements produce endorphins in the brain to give a feeling of well being.

The finished piece can be made into several different things including mug rugs, book covers and fabric containers.

Hope to see lots of things at the September Show and Tell
