Inspired to Stitch…at the Silver Thimble

Welcome to my programme of regular and short workshops to inspire you to stitch in 2017 - if you have ideas for workshops you would like to do but don’t see in the programme, please let me know so I can include them or if you see a workshop but can’t make the date give me a call, there may be an alternative.

This is a rolling programme so keep coming back to see new ideas and also to see photographs as I complete the samples. Class fees are excluding materials unless otherwise stated.

Please note Thursdays have reverted to 10 – 2pm, no longer 0930 – 1.30pm
