We have five groups of Young Embroiderers at the moment, Derbyshire, Chesterfield, Leicester, Lincoln and Nottingham Central with a new one in the offing in Ashbourne.
They are thriving groups, each with their own personality. Some run monthly, some run just in the holidays, all are fun and inspirational giving children an oportunity to explore creativity with textiles and stitch, an opportunity that is sadly missing from most children's lives at the moment.
