Next Meeting: 3 November Christmas Decorations and Bucks Point Exhibition

Many thanks to all those who joined us at our Textile Open Day on Saturday 6 October and to all those members who helped to make the day a success.  We made at least £200 for Sightsavers Charity.

Our next meeting will be held on Saturday 3 November; members will have the opportunity to make Christmas decorations.  You will be supplied with fabrics and patterns to make either a Christmas stocking, about six inches long, or a heart.  If you don't feel like sewing, glue the pieces together to make your chosen shape.  Raid your cupboards and bring along glitter, beads, threads, buttons etc - whatever takes your fancy - to decorate your stocking or heart.  Audrey is hoping that everyone will take part and let their imagination run riot, because this is not a serious exercise but a fun day.

Remember to bring your pieces of Bucks Point lace for the exhibition.
