Getting up to date.   December 2012

  Sandra has asked me to take over from her to add to our blog.It will take some of the pressure off her busy schedule. It is a bit hit and miss at the moment until I get more used to it, so please excuse any mistakes or ommissions.

Just so that you know who I am, here is a picture of me with the three mice that I made for our exhibition  at the Knutsford HeritageCentre.

   Trill Sutherland kindly showed us how to make them at a Stitch and Chat.

We were asked by Hobbycraft if we would like to spend the day demonstrating our needlework 

skills in their new store in Broadheath.So on September 22nd and 23rd Diana, Patricia(Jones) and I passed the time very pleasantly. Our work was very much admired, and I think we were good ambassadors for the Guild,as well as helping to several members of the of the public with various queries.

                            

                                                  

HAPPY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE.
