This is the blog of South Lakeland Stitchers. We are a new stitching group formed from North Lonsdale branch E.G. and Kendal branch E.G. plus new members from the locality. We enjoy stitching in all its forms and meet together once a month to share our hobby. We range from members who are learning to stitch to experienced stitchers and there is a wealth of knowledge and expertise to share with beginners.

Christmas Meeting December 2021
Our Christmas Meeting began with a quiz, answers relating to sewing/weaving, world and historical clothing. Great fun was had and there was lots of laughter as the two groups tried to remember answers from the back of their minds.
During the coffee break members voted on the Suffolk Puff Christmas trees started at the November Meeting under the guidance of Janet. The beautiful range of trees can be seen below and thank you to members for bringing them to the meeting helping to make a festive atmosphere.
The winner was the beautiful blue tree made by Shelagh. Well done Shelagh!
After the break members were shown how to make a simple pine cone Christmas tree decoration.
Members started by gluing a loop to their cone and then all sorts of bits and pieces were added to their decoration.
When finished members displayed their cones all together to admire the wide range of decorations. They looked wonderful! Well done everybody!
We then all tucked into our Jacob's Join which was delicious and much enjoyed.
The Secret Santa was drawn and members took home their present after wishing everyone a Happy Christmas and a Peaceful New Year.
A big thank you to everyone who helped make the meeting a success and Happy Christmas to you all.
Sandra brought some samples with her [see below]and demonstrated making a decoration but members were full of their own ideas and some managed to make more than one!

Make your own Christmas Wrapping Paper
While the rain and wind lashed around Mary's daughter's house she decided to put the time to good use. Using a bargain 6m roll of brown paper which she was able to spread out on the long kitchen table. She set about printing a pattern of Christmas trees to make her own Christmas wrapping paper using a bought stamp.
Thank you Mary. Not only is it pretty but it is better for the environment. A wonderful idea!
