Hi everyone

On 8 February the Young Stitchers had their first meeting of the year and we’re going to share what they’ve been up to.

There was all the same stitchy energy, chat and enthusiasm. It was great to see the progress being made. The older participants are now tackling more challenging embroidery patterns and some are collecting serious gear……..what’s not to love about the sewing baskets??!

Here’s the eye candy….

Hi everyone

This post is all about the wonderful Young Stitchers who got together again last Sunday afternoon.

It was awesome – there was lots of energy, giggling, spontaneous Christmas Carol singing and as always A-M-A-Z-I-N-G stitching. Even better lots of the Mums and Dads stayed to join in the fun.

First up we had the very important task of finding a new tail for Christine H‘s too cute felt mouse.

Then Christine started on her Christmas Ball ornament and almost had it finished by the end of the session

The other highlight of the afternoon was a fantastic afternoon tea that covered three tables! I snuck in some photos before the cakes were cut but the pics don’t do it justice!

Hi Everyone

Yesterday the Young Stitchers had their first session at the Guild’s new premises – it was great to have their energy, liveliness, chatter and total enthusiasm. It’s also so awesome to see their skills build and their sheer joy in the work they make.

We also love having family members stay and be part of the action – including the amazing spread for afternoon tea.

Here’s a sampler of their work – dangerous levels of cuteness here!

Don’t you love the way that they make the designs their own with all the added touches – especially the bling. We were really impressed with how Kathryn adapted the frog feltie design so that it looked as much as possible like our local Corroberee Frog which is black and gold.

Young Stitchers’ Gallery

Just a heads up that this gallery has been updated and includes photos of the work done at Young Stitchers in March and April and the last School Holiday Program. Really cool stitching!

Enjoy!
