We celebrated National Day of Stitch in Holy Trinity Church in Skipton.  It was an ideal venue with a good footfall of locals and tourists visiting the lovely cafe and excellent bookshop within the church.  We had lots of interest in the paisley leaves that we were stitching and one gentleman even wrote a poem for us! 

Rev. Veronica James took the opportunity to create a whole display and Sunday sermon about textiles entitled 'From Fleece to Fabric' complete with a whole fleece from a local farmer. 


Kicked out of church for a wedding!
