Memories in Stitches by Rosemary Watson

On 13th May the branch was treated to a talk by Rosemary Watson entitled "Memories in Stitches".
As each memory was recounted a piece of embroidery was unveiled to "Oohs" and "Aahs" from the audience.

  1. Rosemary always produces exquisite needlework and the collection of pieces she brought with her were wonderful. I especially loved the wooden boxes made by her husband Jim with needlework panels worked by Rosemary, one of Peak District scenes and the the other a reminder of Kenya.
