Hi all,
I’m a stitch artist who appreciates working in a social environment at times.
I am gauging interest for a Taradale branch of Stitchin Bitches, who get together, perhaps weekly, at a local drinking establishment, to stitch and socialise.
While I enjoy online interaction with makers around the world, there’s nothing like having face-to-face laughs with friends who enjoy the same stuff.
Is there any interest out there?😁😁😁
Let me know.
Cheers 👍
