January 2015 Meeting

This month, we had an inspiring talk from our chairman April,  who took us through the process of creating a fairisle pattern containing stars. She described the process of creating the designs and where her inspiration came from.

It is hoped that this would help us to come up with some interesting items for next month’s competition which has  two categories 1) An item with stars and 2) cushion covers.

The items April had made one cover to combined these two and two others that she were equally unusual.

After refreshments, we had a Speed Chat session where everyone was encouraged to chat to a member of the committee about the running of the club.  It went really well and quite a few ideas were generated about the direction the club should take next. Members were asked about their favourite meetings and the type of meetings they prefer amongst other things.
