October Meeting

This month we began to make items for our Christmas Tree which will be in the Festival at St John's Church Knaresborough.  Chris led us in making paper and stitched designs, from robins, trees to stars.
Lots of gold and silver threads and sequins were being used.  Let's hope we have. Number of them by November meeting.
  My attempt above.  
REMEMBER 10 NOVEMBER IS AN AFTERNOON MEETING FROM 1.00 pm
Bring along your item to finish or something to work on, plus your travelling journals.

OUR FIRST POST

Creative Adventures with Textiles Group has now been meeting since June 2016.  We are at present a small group of people who enjoy all aspects of textile work, sharing our skills within the group.  Our skills are varied and range from members who are beginning to learn new skills to a number of members who have gained City and Guilds Diploma in Embroidery and Design. We meet on a monthly basis on the fourth Saturday of each month, at present for 4 hours in the afternoon but hope to increase these hours to six, extra hours will help when workshops are being run meaning members will have more opportunity to complete the items they are working with. Gracious Street Church Hall is our meeting venue, using the Dales Room on the first floor. We have had a dye workshop at Clifton, Otley village Hall, which was very successful members going home with lots of colorful fabrics and threads. A few examples of the dye day.

NOVEMBER MEETING

We were busy finishing off items for our Christmas Tree.  It will be in the festival at St John's Church Knaresborough from 1 to 9 December which will be open each day.  We made arrangements to visit Salts Mill at Saltaire at the beginning of December as we are not having a meeting next month. 2019 January will be our AGM during the meeting, it will be a full day from 10 until 4.30.  We are having a 'Fuddle' or faith lunch when members will bring along a plate of food.  Those of us with birthdays between January and June will bring savory items and those from July to December will bring sweet items. There will be places to fill on the committee, Richard announced that he wishes to step down from being our Chair and therefore asked for members to consider taking on the position which is not onerous, Catherine is happy to continue as treasurer and Sue to continue to organise events etc  (secretary) Elsie will continue as a member until she moves to Hull when her house is sold
