The Christmas members workshop is always a lovely event - where everyone comes together to stitch and chat. This years activity was a christmas tree decoration swop. We called it The Great British Sewing Tree.
Getting started.....
 |
| guess what Janet is making? |
 |
| Gail starts a starfish - did she not get the theme? (only joking, it was a lovely star) |
|
We also had a lovely display of Pat Wither's work lent by her family. She was a long term member of our Branch who sadly passed away at the beginning of the year. She is still very much missed. What a prolific and talented stitcher she was
 |
| a page from her sketchbook |
Di had a great necklace and Saskia quickly got stitching. Look at that concentration!
 |
| what were those three so interested in? |
 |
| a selection of ornaments for anyone needing inspiration |
 |
| despite a poorly arm Joy came along to chat. |
 |
| Not everyone was paying attention |
 |
| but when they did, boy could they pose! |
Afternoon mince pies - yum yum.
And the finished tree - thanks to Jean for making it. We made such a lot of decorations that it started to wobble.
And from the otherside. Look out for the sprout fairy!
It was a lovely day, with our usual fabulous sharing buffet. Thanks to all for making such a great day.
Happy Christmas!
