November Stitch Club

 There was a good group of us at the November stitch club, and we were very productive.  Everyone seemed to enjoy themselves and the air was nice and relaxed for making the felt decorations.  The triangular ones are actually bookmarks.

Results were very varied, some being very three-dimensional.



Our next stitch club will be on Saturday 20th January when we will be creating a needle felted landscape with Robyn Smith.

In the meantime, wishing everyone a very Happy Christmas and all the best for 2024.

Christmas with Bron - 18th November 2023

 Our next stitch club will be on Saturday 18th November at the Thomas Garrett Building in Heighington.  It starts at 10:00 and goes on until 15:00, so you will need to bring a packed  lunch with you.  Tea, coffee and biscuits will be provided.

This time we are doing Christmas with Bron who is guiding us in creating embellishments that can either be used as a brooch, or to decorate a bag, or even as a Christmas decoration.


Requirements list as follows

  • Felt, preferably wool based, but any will do, in colours of your choice
  • Embroidery theads: stranded cotton, perle, silk etc
  • Beads: sizes and colours of your choice
  • Beading thread and needle
  • Other embellishments such as sequins, charms, ribbon, small buttons etc.
  • Sewing kit: sewing/embroidery needles, scissors etc.
If you want to turn your piece into a brooch, we will try and locate the brooch clasps!

The embellishment is made up of reducing concentric circles/petal shapes of felt, joined by embroidery stitches.

All welcome.  Cost £5.00 for members, £7.00 for non-members.

Please let Judith know if you are coming, so we know which room to book.

See you there!
