This is a great opportunity for us to stitch together, to be inspired by the speaker, and each other, and to socialise in relaxed surroundings.
We plan to use these sessions to share ideas and

- work towards East Midland Regional projects eg Kickstart, Regional Competition etc.
- work towards nationally inspired projects e.g. Capability Brown
- work towards our next exhibition,
- just drop in and bring your current piece to work on and
- HAVE FUN
Our Young Embroiderers, 11 years and older, or younger members if accompanied by an adult, will be especially welcome. Tea / coffee and biscuits and materials will be provided but please don't forget to bring your basic sewing kit, (and packed lunch - or go in to Derby.) Why not come and join us? EVERYONE WELCOME |

Programme and Workshops 2016
| More About Us
At our monthly branch meetings we have interesting Talks on a wide range of textile related topics.
Two of our monthly meetings are devoted to mini workshops and "Show and
Tell" where we have the opportunity to share ideas and expertise
informally.
This is followed in the afternoon by a speaker or member led Workshop.
We hold four one day Day Schools a year led by experienced and knowledgeable tutors.
Once a month we have Stitch Friday where there is a chance for members to continue with their own work in an informal setting. There is a small charge of £5 for three sessions - to cover costs of meetings and coffee / tea and biscuits.
Our branch also has a Young Embroiderers' Group.
In addition, we also have visits to places of interest to embroiderers. Members may borrow books from our extensive Textile Library.
We organise 2 Outings a year - one to "Fashion and Embroidery" and "Sewing for Pleasure" at the NEC in March and another textile inspired visit in August.
Meetings are held on the second Saturday of the month.
11am, notices followed by talk, (refreshments from 10.30am,) at
St Mary's Church Hall,
Darley Lane,
Derby DE1 3AX but we also hold speaker-led or member-led workshops in the afternoon from 1.30
or just bring your sewing!
Visitors are
most welcome to join us for all or part of the day. (Please bring a packed lunch or go into Derby if you want to stay for the whole day.) Keep up to date with all our events with our monthly branch Newsletter. Please email janet.austin2@btinternet if you would like to receive it. |
