Happy New Year.
An opportunity to look forward with refreshed hope for the year to come.
But first, some sad news. Heather Nicholl passed away, at home, just before Christmas. [https://www.funeraltimes.com/heather-louisenicholl529262687]
While it is undoubtedly sad to remember those we have lost, we can, perhaps, take some comfort from recalling the pleasure we once enjoyed in their company.

Our next meeting on 7th January is in the parochial hall with the members demonstrations in the morning and a sewical in the afternoon. So come along to learn something new and perhaps experiment with the new skills in the afternoon, or continue with your New Year project or work on your entry for `A Walk in the Park` our May exhibition in the Curve Galley, Bangor Library. ( Entry forms and guidelines are available on NIPG website).
On 5th February we shall welcome Gaye Grant from The Fennel Shed. There are still some places available on Gaye`s afternoon workshop.P.S. If you know anyone who hasn’t been receiving their emails, please ask them to email us at patchworkguild@yahoo.co.uk
Looking forward to seeing you on 7th January, in the mean time keep looking out for the first snowdrops of the New Year.
Best wishes
Anne
