Some have never embroidered before coming along, others have stitched since their Grannies taught them to sew. We have a huge wealth of knowledge and we are all happiest when sharing it with everyone. It matters not if you don’t already know how to embroider. We are happy to get you up and going and we love to watch your blossoming achievements. We have talks from leading textile artists, demonstrations and workshops to inspire us as well as showing each other what we have been stitching. Our enthusiasm is catching so beware!
