Weekly News Round Up 17th April

Hi Everyone

We have certainly been enjoying a run of excellent weather. Even if it's just through your window, I hope you have been able to get some rays of sunshine.

Thanks to Anne and Angela for this week's beautiful finished pieces: 

Blue landscape: Angela Rowles.        Seasons and Angie Hughes Trees: Anne Haigh


Liz and Brenda sent through this lovely picture of one of the (very) Young Stitchers whose brother attends the group. Their mum has said that Young Stitchers really inspires her family. The future of embroidery is in safe hands!

You may have seen the email from Embroiderers' Guild regarding crafting a wall hanging for a hospital in our region.

· Send the form by post with your piece to Anthea Godfrey, 32 High Street, Hoddesdon, Hertfordshire EN11 8BS

· DEADLINE 30th June 2020

· The pieces will be organised into Regions and joined together as hangings.

Subject to numbers received these will be offered to Hospitals and Care Homes within each Region.

Stay safe and keep busy!
