 Our next stitch club will be on Saturday 15th February 2025 at the Thomas Garrett Rooms at Heighington, where Jacqui will be taking us through creating an Easter egg in goldwork in a design of your own choosing.

    • 3-ply twist (can be colours of your choice)
    • Smooth purl
    • Check purl
    • Rough Purl
    • Rococco
    • Jap
    • Whatever else you have
  • Silk material or any other suitable backing for the goldwork 8” square

We’ll be creating embroidered easter eggs that could be used in a card or be a decoration.  The actual design is up to the embroiderer so we see a great variety of results.

If anyone doesn’t have any goldwork supplies, please let us know.  Jacqui will be bringing her supplies with her, just in case.  Please let us know if you are coming as well.  Thank you.

Please bring a packed lunch, coffee/tea/biscuits provided.  See you there!!!!
