See Calendar for dates of meetings.
Members can continue with their own needlecraft projects and exchange information. We have occasional workshops to learn new techniques. There are also occasional visits to places of interest to needlecrafters.
New members would be very welcome to join our group – our needlecraft interests are wide-ranging and most of us are beginners at some crafts and more knowledgeable in others, so there is no need to feel ‘I’m not good enough’. Just an enthusiasm is all you need – so do give me a ring for venue details.
