Seven members met on Monday 7TH July to embark on a Quilling exercise.   As you can see from the pictures we all had a successful morning.  I think we might visit this craft again next year as we all seemed to enjoy ourselves and accomplish something very colourful.

May 2025

Eight members of the group were at the meeting on Monday and we had a lovely morning. We made cardboard teapots/ boxes, the cutting out was a bit fiddly but we all managed to make a box/teapot, all individually decorated and looking very colourful.  Thanks to Lisa for supplying the refreshments and to Lisa and Pat for making them.

The next meeting is on Monday 7th July, the itinerary says slow stich, but I’m not entirely sure that is what we’ll be doing.  Whatever is undertaken a good time can be expected, hope to see you there.

April 2025

Although there was only 9 members at the group on Monday 7th April we had a good making session, and a lovely time. Here are the results -

The next meeting is on Monday 12th May and I look forward to seeing you all.

There were 12 members at the meeting on Monday, with 2 new members.  Brenda talked us through making flowers using toilet roll inners.  It was a bit like Blue Peter!  We all managed to complete the task (minus the stem, which we glued on at home) chatting and laughing while cutting and glueing. 

Chris arrived during the meeting and made us cups of tea and coffee with Lisa bringing the biscuits, thank you all.
