Meetings

Meetings are held at the United Church Hall on the third Thursday evening of the month, usually commencing at 7.30pm

Social Stitching meetings are held on a Thursday afternoon from 2.00pm to 4.00pm at a member’s house when there is no evening meeting. This is an opportunity to meet members, chat, exchange ideas and participate in any craft that is small enough to be portable.

Meetings cost £1 for members and £3 for visitors.

2023 Brightlingsea Christmas Tree Festival

The Brightlingsea Christmas Tree entry this year was titled “Putting a Lid on Christmas”.

Decorations were all made from lids. A wide variety of lids were used from tiny Tiptree jam lids to large sweet jar ones. A wide cross section of techniques were used from simple collages to intricate stumpwork.

We didn’t win but had a lot of fun making them. Watch out for next year’s entry!
