October 2024 Stitch Club - Folk Embroidered Birds

Our next stitch club will be on Saturday 19th October from 10:00 - 15:00 at the Thomas Garrett Rooms, Heighington.

Kathy will be leading us in making folk embroidered birds:

Requirements List

• Felt if you have some (if not, don't buy any as Vanda has a large supply that she will be bringing.  A lot of it is white, but if mixed with red, will give a Scandinavian look)
• Embroidery threads
• Thin ribbon
• Basic sewing kit

Kathy will be providing the stuffing.

The birds can be on loops to hang as decorations or on gift bags.  Or they can be a garland with a long length of ribbon running through several of them.

Jacqui will be sending out an email to members shortly.  Please reply and let her know if you are coming or not.

As per usual, tea/coffee/biscuits will be provided.  Please bring a packed lunch.

We look forward to seeing you!
