AGM Friday 18th September 2020

 Our well attended AGM was preceded by the presentation of a cheque for £400 to Manx Blind Welfare, this being money raised, and donated, at our Garden Party back in July.

Everyone wanted the dog!

After the business part of the meeting, a circle was formed and ladies showed what they had created during the (for us, mercifully short) period of lockdown. Short it may have been but our members had been exceedingly busy and creative. It was awesome!

During the course of the next day, Saturday 19th September, eleven members came along to work away at the "Sewing Sisters" kits, which is our current group project.

So happy to be on a Covid free Island.

Our Young Embroiderers joined us. Their project was to appliqué and decorate cup-cake shapes. These will be put together into a group piece, which Green's restaurant in St Johns has agreed to exhibit. It would be good to gain some more YEs.

Pleased as punch!

Social Stitching - September

 

Twelve ladies gathered together at JJ's in Laxey on Wednesday, where we were made most welcome.

There was much chatter and laughter, as we caught  up. Most ladies had brought along their dolls kit and progress was made. There were also several completed dolls for everyone to admire and these acted as a spur to get on and complete more. It looks hopeful that we shall soon have a wonderful display. Everyone has put their own stamp on the basic patterns and diversity is the name of the game!
