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.

Friday 18th November, 2022

 Almost a full house present today and quite a buzz with everyone busy working away and chatting.  It was good to hear especially as the weather was atrocious.  Ann was doing a short demo for Anne on how to paint bondaweb and the different effects you get with different paints.  This sort of help for people is really good and helps to pass on individuals knowledge and to keep stitch alive. 

Several of us going to the Knitting and Stitching Show this weekend. After running a coach for 25 years I have given up this year.  Can't cope with the new way of ticketing for group bookings.

Some lovely work being done within the group.
