Christmas Stitching Taster a Workshop

Saturday 15th November

Christ Church hall was a hive of activity on Saturday.  With button samplers, Christmas tree decorations, star bunting and heat brooches, there was almost too much choice for our visitors.  Children and adults soon settled down to their tasks and it was a great opportunity to sit and chat about crafting and hear everyone's plans for the festive season.

No workshop is complete without plenty of homemade cake and biscuits washed down with tea, coffee or juice and we have Margaret Laycock to thank for her most excellent baking! 

The workshop was a great success, attracting families from a wide area and appealing to boys and girls alike.  We have been encouraged by all the positive feedback and are in the process of planning a Spring workshop in March 2015.

Thank you to everyone who donated materials and helped on the day and especially to Jill Maloney for preparing all the kits.
