About Me

East Ayton, Scarborough, North Yorkshire
A group of ladies who enjoy traditional embroidery but who meet once a month to try some experimental work. We meet at Ayton Village Hall on the third Thursday in the month for a full day and again on the first Thursday for half a day. We currently have a waiting list of people who want to join us.

Thursday 9th July

I have just spent a lovely day with some fellow stitchers sitting a metre apart round a table in a conservatory with the door open (a bit chilly on the feet) and we have had a lovely chat, looked at the work that we have all done over lockdown and read the books we have bought/borrowed to fill our time.  It was so good to get back to talking face to face again, you can't beat it.
I have been doing some stitching this week but it is tiny little pieces of canvas work so I will show them next week when I have three or four I can photograph together and you won't need a magnifying glass to find them.  I have also started back on the table runner I was doing, now I have got fabric for the sashing but this has been a busy week and I haven't had any day time to get on my sewing machine (always got a good excuse).
So I thought that today I would show you the work my friends have been doing - they put us all to shame.

Two more pieces by Celia, celtic work and 'Grannies Sampler'

Thanks to both Eileen and Celia for letting me put these on our blog.
