With displays in the Cobourg Public Library lobby display cases, we have attracted several new members, and our meetings are becoming more "normal" after COVID. We have had the chance to run some mini-Workshops to help everyone get acquainted, and this has led to "impromptu" meetings at Cobourg Library (Reading Room) on the Tuesdays when we don't have our official meetings. Some of the Workshops can be re-visited below. |
23-Jan-2024 - Sashiko work - the art of little stitches.
The Sashiko kits were picked up by Immy L. and Cathie O. set us to work - the art of little stitches.
Those little stitches have to be quite precise, with one-third length below.

14-Nov-2023 - Yo-You Trees and Swedish Stars - all ready for Christmas.
The Yo-You Trees were guided by Cathie O. and the Swedish Stars by Susan C.
All the results were very good and everyone had fun learning how to make them.
