This is an informal evening; bring/do anything you think may be of interest - for example:-
What are you stitching at home at the moment? - have you any interesting projects completed recently or in the past? Please share your experiences and expertise!
Do you have any collections to show? - no public speaking required (unless it’s your thing!) but individual members might want to ask questions in an informal way
Any info on good workshops or exhibitions? - share the news !
Have you discovered any new products or suppliers recently - any tips to pass on? - please share!
Did Santa bring any new books? - give members the opportunity to view before they buy or show any old but much loved/used books
Demos on anything welcome if you are happy to speak in front of members!
The above are just a few suggestions----- There is no set format but we hope members will come along and enjoy a cuppa and birthday cake, while they “stitch and share” to create an evening “by the members for the members”
In addition there will be:
In aid of Guild funds - Mammoth Sale of tee shirts, hoodies, polos shirts etc - see below for special announcement
Cake to mark the 21st birthday for Chesterfield Branch - a real milestone so lets celebrate together!
Anne Calladine will display her collection of Chinese and Asian textiles
There will be a sale of items previously donated to the Guild - any money raised for Guild funds
Guess how many buttons in the jar?
Mammoth Sale of tee shirts, polo shirts, hoodies and sweat shirts
A local business has kindly donated a large number of new tee shirts, polo shirts, hoodies and sweat shirts to Chesterfield branch. There are a large variety of colours, and styles, in both male and female, and even some children’s sizes - many of these items are suitable for print or stitch. At the January meeting everything will be on sale to members at silly prices - (see below) - all money raised will go to branch funds
Tee shirts - 50p each
Polo shirts - 50 p each
Hoodies - £1.00 each
Sweat shirts - £1.00 each
If you would like an opportunity to purchase some cheap items for experimenting with print or stitch, or perhaps you would just like to start the year with a bargain for yourself, family or friends - see you at the January meeting!
Workshop - 31st March 2012 - Alysn Midgelow Marsden - Sculptured Surprises - members who paid deposits last time - balance is now due.
Still a few places remaining - (£30.00 members and £35.00 non-members)

Anyone who wants to book a place to speak to Carole Hodges whi is likely to be busy with tee shirts but will see each person individually during the evening to collect the remaining balances and also take any further bookings.
