October Meeting 2013 A.G.M. followed by Exploring Stitches

After our A.G.M. we explored four more stitches by popular request. Members worked the basic stitch and then varied it by using different threads and/or working the stitch in different ways.

The first stitch was French Knots led by Mary who demonstrated the basic stitch and then showed ways of working it with tails and in the round.
