On Thursday 20th April, members were able to enjoy a fascinating talk by Bridget Long on the history of pins and needles and other associated sewing artefacts. It is only in more recent times that sewing has become a female prerogative. Victorian children, both male and female were taught quite complicated sewing form a very young age.
Our next meeting is Resolutions at Rushden on Thursday 18th May when all members are encouraged to bring along their own resolutions to help put our world to rights in addition to discussing those sent to us by National.
