'All Change'.

Today was all about moving out of our 'comfort zone'.
That just means moving from our usual seat and sitting beside someone else, for a change.
Most of us took up the challenge, a few of us stayed put! Well that's fine, it isn't compulsory.
Someone commented it sounded like a rookery, there was so much noise and chat going on.
Really it doesn't matter who you choose to sit beside because we are all pieced together through our love of craftwork.

One of our members, who hasn't been able to attend for a while, returned to the group today.
Everyone was happy just to see her back and sitting in her usual seat.



Judy informed us of some Winter Talks at Portmore Lough Reserve.
Can anyone identify Patsy's charming little bird?

Our group members are always busy at something and it's good to see lots of work going on after the Christmas break.
