March 30th Making background fabric from scraps to make a card holder

 

In October a group of us visited The Embroiderers Guild at Hampton Court. 
What a wonderful day we had.  We were made so welcome by the ladies who work there
and were shown some of the treasures in store there. One of these is a Challis Cover bought in 1985
with money donated by The Cotswold Branch. 

I would just like to say , if you have any doubt about why we need a new building just go and see for yourself
how these ladies work and how the treasures are stored. I am sure like us you will be very surprised and understand far better why we must help.
