North West Region A.G.M 3rd November 2018

This year the Regional A. G. M. was held at Barton Village Hall  and was reasonably well attended. Most Branches were represented.
Sue our chair person led the meeting and went through the business items.
The hall was decorated with joint items from Branches, Summer School work, raffle prizes, items to sell and entries for the Broderer's cup. Last year's afternoon activity the paisley peacock was also on display

After lunch the stitching activity was "holes".

Samples for holes

 There were three basic ideas:
- to place fabric behind a hole and embroider, matching colour and stitch
-to stitch across hole, then weave and then embroider
-to stitch across hole and then wrap threads to make tree trunks, then embroider leaves and undergrowth.

The fabric with holes was provided and members had brought their own threads and stitching kits. A choice of fabric was made and then members began stitching.

After a good afternoon of stitching members took their embroidery home to finish.
