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.

Saturday 8th August

 My apologise for getting later and later writing this blog but it has been a busy week.  Lindsay and I did a wonderful walk on Monday from Robin Hoods Bay along the cliff to Hawsker then back along the cinder track, glorious sunshine but with a cool breeze to make walking comfortable.  Since then I have been catching up with friends and going out to cafes for coffee which has been nice.

Liz and Roma have been knitting little baby sweaters as have I, so we should have quite a collection by September.  I have heard that the gentleman who is collecting these up to take to Africa is thrilled by everyone's generosity in doing this.


On Thursday I got together with my stitching friends and one of them had been working with her granddaughter on what was originally to be a cushion cover but ended up as a panel which was to be a present for her mother's birthday.  Nine assorted squares and rectangles were drawn on the fabric and grandma painted four and granddaughter painted five.  I think you will agree that granddaughter is going to be quite an artist when she grows up as she is only six at them moment.

I love the birds.  In the meantime, grandma has been knitting sweaters and and matching hats including pom poms!
