Newsletter-June 2010
Dear Stitchfriends,
June 2010 Newsletter
We are gearing up to go to Hamilton for The Embroiderer’s Guild Conference the weekend of July 10 /11. It is being held at Diocesan School and the Merchant Mall is in the Gymnasium. If you are in the area that weekend do come and see us.
The following are a few items which came in after the newsletter went to print that we really love and hope you will too.
Even though we are at the shortest day there is still the coldest part of winter to come. So curl up in front of the fire with one of these projects. There’s such a lot of sport to watch with the Football World Cup and the tennis at Wimbledon and then the Rugby and they are perfect for stitching to because you don’t have to watch every minute, just look up when there is a roar from the crowd and get the re-play.
