They're get-togethers for anyone and everyone with a textile interest. Come along and try one out!
I host them four times a year in the village hall here in Chesters and they usually run from 11.00 am until 4.00 pm-ish.
You are welcome to bring anything at all along that you'd like to show off, sell or swap, and to bring something for your lunch. Feel free to e-mail me or leave a comment on the blog if you want any more info.

The cost is a staggering £5 which helps me cover the cost of the hall and heating, plus decent coffee and tea and the inevitable home-baking without which no self-respecting gathering is complete.
The group varies every time though there are regulars. There are generally about a dozen of us and anyone may be knitting (two needles, four needles, circular needles), needle felting, quilting, mending, embroidering, crocheting, patchworking, battling on with a needleworked tapestry panel, carding, spinning, casting on, finishing off, boiling the kettle, reading a new pattern book, leafing through an old stitchery magazine, admiring someone else's work, swapping recipes, snapping up a bargain or putting the world to rights while testing cake.

2015 dates
I have not set any dates for 2015 because I have so few free weekends this year. There may be some pop-up ones at short notice later in the year.
