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 14th January

 Almost half way through January already.  I haven't been into Scarborough for some weeks now except as far as Sainsbury's so I don't know how busy it is but the number of Covid cases seems to be going down.

I am doing a re-run of kitchin cupboard cleaning and other household jobs to keep busy and keep warm.  I have been out walking when the weather is fine, don't believe in setting off in the rain but don't mind too much if I get caught in it.

Many of you are working away at your sewing and this is a picture of the piece Cath has been doing.


This was the piece of felt Cath got from Barbara's stash and the suffolk puffs are made from fabric she purchased from Barbara in a 'bit bag' sale.

I have now got two pages of my Africa stitch book done, just stitching them together.


Top picture is the cover and a double page showing Hausa styles from Norther Nigeria and the cut pile of the Shoowa tribe from the Congo.
The lower picture shows the inside of the book cover and the page of applique and reverse applique used by the Ngeende tribe also from the Congo.

Keep the pictures coming ladies, everyone loves to see what you have been doing.
