This was the Young Embroiderer's entry entitled "Teddy Bears Picnic" in the exhibition "Wood" at the Hodgeson Loom Gallery, Laxey. Congratulations!!!!

Our Christmas meeting attracted a good number of members. Liz Brand led the meeting and had made up packs to make Christmas Angels for the tree. We had a non-alcoholic punch and mince pies to help the evening along. There was a lot of hilarity as the angels became little characters.
