Chocolate eggs and hot cross buns have arrived - Huzzah! Easter is here. I have to thank the KNS members for the wonderful cakes baked to fuel our evening of chatting, stitching and sharing, they were awesome!
I have to report that Crochet Fever is still upon us! I might be me but since Crochet relief a few of us have been enjoying the skill and exploring new idea's. Eleanor and Judi brought along some yarn and were working through the pattern for this gorgeous little chick. How sweet is he?
A few idea's for charity stitching are being mulled over at our last few sessions, something to raise funds for our local charities. If your interested in joining in, or have some idea's please come and see Sarah, Eleanor, Pat and Judi. Let's get on it!
I mentioned that Pat was enlightening me on Crochet pattern reading, well above is my first project a pink and grey baby shawl. Worked in James C Brett, Baby Marble DK shade BM10 from The Knitting Basket in Fenny Stratford. Elaine lives local to our group and very kindly offered to bring along another ball of yarn as I had run out! Service with a smile - Thanks Elaine.
During the session we welcomed a new member to KNS, Adam came along with his work. A beautiful sketch which he was stitching over the outlines exquisitely. It was a very chilly evening and despite best efforts to heat the community centre room we all got a bit cold - which leads me on to current news.
Following discussions at our recent Committee meeting, we have arranged for the sessions to take place in the Creed Street Theatre and Arts Centre in Wolverton from Monday 15th April for four weeks. We will be using the downstairs Concourse area from 7:30 - 9:30pm each Monday. So no stairs! Unfortunately it has got to a point where it is too cold to continue operating in NB Community Centre and so we will hold a 4 week trial in Wolverton. We will then hold a general meeting to discuss and vote as to if we will stay in Wolverton.
So back to Stitching and Creativity: Heres a pic of the cute little peg bag rustled up by our Lesley, I think I will be putting an order in for one.
Barbara worked on some alterations to this vintage skirt for ther daughter.
Our friend Jane of Smallbeans joined us for the evening, how chuffed were we to see her - LOTS! Jane brought along some printing and embroidery work. So inspiring!
Thank you to the hardcore stitchers that made it to the session, I hope your all enjoying a wonderful Easter break. See you all back springy like baby lambs ready for our next session in New Bradwell on Monday 8th April.
Happy Easter Stitching!
Sarah Gates
