June Meeting - 'Stitching up a Family' with Sue Clifton

Jean welcomed our guest speaker for the evening who gave a really entertaining talk on how inheriting two family Grandfather clocks led to her researching her family tree and then illustrating her findings in the form of embroidered 'pictures'.

Her imagination certainly ran wild as she explained the various family characters and surnames and how she came to depict them.  We couldn't believe the detail in her designs - what a talented lady!



Jean then led the business part of the meeting and we were all pleased to hear of the good progress of Dorothy, Sheila and Marjorie after their recent hospital stays.  Bottles were collected for our stall at the  Rockley Rally and notices given out for forthcoming events.  We then enjoyed lovely home-made refreshments served by Ann and Julie - thanks ladies.


Don't forget next month's Summer Party - a day at the seaside!!
