National Celebration of Stitch Day Saturday 6th August 2016

We deliberately staged our textile exhibition to cover the National Day of Stitch on Saturday 6th August so that attention was already focussed on stitch.
On the Saturday we had shared the day between members as we took it in turns  at the library with leaves in a variety of colours waiting to be stitched.

Leaves waiting to be stitched

 

 

 Two very enthusiastic ladies turned up and were keen to have a go! They said that they would both like to do more with stitching and learn more techniques and they seemed to enjoy their leaf stitching.

The ladies took their leaves home as a reminder of their stitching.
In the afternoon we took our leaves outside to the Ornamental Gardens but it was so quiet we had no takers so I will leave you with a few pictures of the gardens and a thank you to our members for helping.
