October Craft Club

Next Craft Club is Tuesday 1st October at Atlantis Books from 5.30 to 7.30pm.

This month, as the nights draw in, it's time to start looking forward to Christmas... Yikes! So we're going to be having a go at Christmas themed cross-stitch, little ones which can be used in cards or as part of gifts. 

We've got patterns, blank aida canvas and embroidery threads, and some needles. Bring along a mat or hoop if you like to work on those, and maybe some scissors. If you've got a stitching project you're working on, or a Christmas cross-stitch kit you want to get started with, do bring that too. And if you've never cross-stitched, fear not as our experienced stitchers will be able to help you out!

Please email lwewicraftclub@gmail.com if you plan to come, so we know to expect you. Also email us for more information if you haven't come before and want to know more!

As ever tea, coffee and delicious biscuits will be served.

September Craft Club - What We Made

Goodness, but I'm late posting this!

At our meeting in September, we turned our hand to a spot of macrame, that retro craft of the 1970s and 80s. We didn't quite get to the dizzy heights of plant holders for our spider plants, but we did learn some basic knots and make these keyrings. We're all planning to keep practicing, and next time we do macrame we've grand plans for string shopping bags!

We're past the autumn equinox and the nights are drawing in it's time to think of Christmas, so next month we're doing some festive cross stitching.
