Our Regional Day was a resounding success, despite the Marlow traffic problems all arrived on time. Speakers Suzy Wright & Kate Wells were truly inspirational. The traders provided many beautiful things to buy. The venue was light and airy and the lunch tasty what more could we ask for?

The competition for "Fabulous" drew many beautiful entries - to see all of the photos please choose "Regional Day " from the Gallery.

You don't need special skills or even to be an active stitcher. With us you will find plenty of inspiration and people to teach you.

We normally have a speaker who brings a presentation and examples of their work or pieces from their collection. Alternatively we organise a mini-workshop evening for those attending to try new materials and techniques and these are sometimes combined with social evenings. See our programme page for more details of what is planned for your intended visit.

In addition, membership brings the opportunity to join our other activities such as Saturday Schools, Visits, Design Days, Exhibitions and Group Projects.
