The “Fanciest Tree” in the Christmas Tree Festival!

… and then to our Christmas Jolly. Creativity and industry were still to the fore, with a table full of fun and beautiful Christmas items stitched by members,
The Christmas gift tag challenge:

We had a great time and now wish everyone a 
and a Happy New Year!

P.S. We ease ourselves into 2024 with a “Stitch & Chat” Members’ Day on 6th January, when there’s an opportunity to make an embroidered patch, or simply to enjoy sitting and chatting to other members.
