Stitchers’ Exchange – Isobel Greer

Bring any needlework related items you no longer have a use for - it may be exactly what someone else needs for their next project! And while you are there browse the table for something of interest to you. Don't forget to take home anything you bring that is still on the "Stitchers' Exchange" table at the end of the meeting - leftovers will be discarded.
