Needlework Group

This group started when a very small group of ladies met to discuss their work, exchange patterns and generally pass on helpful tips. There are now 8 regular members who meet on Thursday mornings about twice a month.

The group has completed a tapestry banner, composed of squares depicting the diverse groups of High Lane U3A and a calendar represented by flowers appropriate to each month.

We have had quite a lot of orders for special anniversary cards.
We will be having a sale of greetings cards and small gifts during the May general meeting. These will include coasters, small pictures, key rings,bracelets and even a cushion (cover donated, and made up by Sonia).

As well as meeting regularly at each others' houses we enjoy having outings e.g. to Bakewell to the Embroidery shop there and to the Handicrafts Exhibition at G-Mex.




Anyone wishing to join us can contact me at w.brookes1@ntlworld.com 

• We had a very successful sale of Christmas cards in November, raising £55 for our funds, which we shall no doubt spend when we visit the needlecraft exhibition at the beginning of February. We enjoyed a tasty and inexpensive Christmas dinner at the Dog and Partridge on 11th December before taking our Christmas and New year break. We shall next meet up in February.
