Hello Judith and Cathy
At the steering group last week we were discussing how the action groups were going and I mentioned that I'd met Judith and had a chat about what direction In Stitches might go in the autumn.
As it's feeling so very autumnal already, perhaps it's time that meetings were restarted, but I don't know how Cathy is fixed and whether she'd prefer someone else to take the lead for the time being - in which case, I thought Judith might be prepared to organise the next few meetings? How do you both feel about this?
I'm concerned that if we don't get going soon it might never happen.
I would be happy to have any meetings at my house if that's not too far out for people. Tuesdays or Wednesdays would be best. It might even prompt me to get a blind made for my back window!
What do you think?

Dear All
Given that we would like to restart In Stitches meetings after a summer break, what is the general opinion about where to meet? As you see, Judith, Anne and I have all offered our houses, but we are all a bit on the fringes of town (I have moved to Charlton Kings), so there is a feeling that the now refurbished Footsteps Cafe would be best as it is so central - though people coming by car would need to use the adjoining car park (I guess it's free in the evening?).
I think we would have to pay £10 for the use of the space, but that would be very little if spread around a number of people. We have held workshops there very successfully and it is a lot nicer now.
What does everyone think? And also about what we do when we get together? As you see, Judith feels that skill-sharing within the group would be valuable, and Anne would like a proper project to work on. What are your feelings about these ideas? And can anybody come up with a brainwave about a longish term project we could all work on together?

Thank you Judith for being willing to organise In Stitches for a while.You are welcome to hold meetings at my house, but again, attendance has not been wonderful here. I was hoping we could meet at Footsteps as it is central...but would we have to pay ?£10 a time? (Alison Crane is a Footsteps person)Meeting on the third Weds of each month seemed to work quite well.I would like us to think of a Project we could work on, to give us some focus.Anne.----- Original Message -----From: judith andersonTo: Lorraine Du FeuCc: Cathy Green ; Anne VineSent: Monday, September 24, 2012 5:22 PMSubject: Re: In StitchesHi Lorraine,I rang Cathy over the weekend as I wanted to be sure that she would be happy for someone else to organise the meetings for the time being. As suspected she has her hands well & truly full at the moment and is happy for us to go ahead without her - but of course we will keep her informed of what is planned.I don't mind organising a few meetings - monthly as before - but also have just been elected as chairman of the local branch of Embroiderers Guild and suspect that might take quite a bit of time - especially at the beginning. Also needing lots of time to make stuff for our coffee morning next month and a pop up shop at the end of November.Would be happy to host meetings at my house but we have never had very good attendance here. Also parking in the evening is very difficult. Anne has hosted the last few, and you have offered your house so don't know which might be better. Cathy was talking about Footsteps cafe but I have no contacts with them.At the last meet we discussed skill sharing among the group - thought it would help to consolidate the group - & I would be happy to talk about how to make little bowls out of old tights (not my idea - got from the Colouricious website) to kickstart the meetings again.I can't commit to any evenings until 16th October at the earliest. Tuesday & Weds are usually OK with me.Do you have the latest e-mail distribution list for the group?Let me know your thoughts (and Anne / Cathy)By the way, Embroiderers Guild are holding an exhibition at the Gardens Gallery in Montpellier Gardens from 4th - 9th October if anyone is interested in going along. (10.00 - 7.00 - but only til 5.00 on Thurs 4th & Tues 9th).Judith
