MAY/JUNE WORKSHOP fRIDAY EVENING PATTERN

WORKSHOP anyone?

Friday evening is always a welcome cheese and wine evening with a little hooky playtime. I've had a request for a mosaic design and some basic instruction on how to do Mosaic stitch, so this will be the playtime on the Friday evening.

I'm sorry May/June workshop has been full for some weeks now, but there are places on the September and November workshops still
