February 2016 meeting

Is it too late to say Happy New Year?  I hope not!

Our first meeting of 2016 is coming up quickly.  It's Tuesday 2nd February.  It's a "play" evening as we will be using scraps of yarn to make felt balls.  Yes - any odd scraps of yarn that will felt can be used to make felt balls for decorative use, like the bits you trim off when you've sewn the yarn ends in.

There are two ways of making the felt balls, one is to roll them between your hands, and the other is to put them into a plastic "egg" and shake.  You'll need a bit of water and some soap or detergent too.

So I hope you'll come along and join in.  Of course if you pefer you can bring a work in progress and join in with the chatter too.  And don't forget to bring completed projects for show and tell.

Tuesday 2nd February is the date, 8 pm is the time.  See you there.

Sent to the Marsden

Here's a couple of photos of the lovely items we sent to the Friends of The Royal Marsden Hospital, Sutton Branch at the beginning of December.

As you can see, it isn't easy taking a photo (or two) of the things when laid out on 6 ft tables and we used three of them to have enough space to lay everything out.  (Note to self: must think of a better layout for December 2016!)

A few days after the items were taken to the Hospital we received a lovely thank you letter.

Thanks to everyone who brought something along.  I know the things we send are appreciated.
