Craft and Chat

Craft and Chat Do you enjoying knitting, crochet, cross stitch or embroidery. Maybe you prefer drawing or painting? Have you got a project that you started weeks, months, or maybe even years ago -for one of our members it was 28 years, can you beat that?! Then Craft and Chat Group could be for you. During this get together people fetch their own projects to work on. Whilst enjoying a natter with like minded people. The kettle is always on and the biscuit barrel is always full. Craft and Chat Group is free and you don’t have to commit to come every week, you just let us know which week you can make it, so we can make sure we have enough room for everyone. Please feel free to contact us: website: www.dadesleycrafting.co.uk
