Pictures from an exhibition

And still, it rained! The weather was just getting into its stride when we arrived.   As we sheltered outside the Moot Hall on Friday, waiting with boxes and bags of work  to be let in to set up our exhibition, we couldn't help wondering if the rain would put people off..  Then came the frantic setting-up, ready just in time, as the first visitors came up the stairs!


We needn't have worried; we were visited all day by lots of  lovely and interested people, some local, many on holiday, and maybe even some potential new members. Most had made their way up the Moot Hall steps deliberately to see the embroidery exhibition; one couple were looking for a craft fair they'd seen advertised; they settled for tea and cake, and directions..........................


We are a small group, but everyone had worked really hard, and arrived with an impressive range of textile work.

The all-important tea and cake!

It was a day............

........to admire each other's work, as we don't always get to see what others are doing outside the meetings.
........to enjoy each others' company, as meetings are  so busy we don't always get time to chat.
........to remind people we're here, and maybe recruit some new members.


                        What's next? Roll on September!


 There are lots more pictures to show. Watch this space.

Thank you if you came, sorry if you missed it  .....see you in 2014!
