Inspired by the wonderful "Textile Treasures" exhibition put on by NFWI, we decided to create our own textile treasure to celebrate our 50 years as a busy WI. A group of us got together to decide how best to go about this, and as a result we decided to depict some of the many activities we have done through the years. We designed it all ourselves and then we had "Sit and Stitch" sessions so that as many members of the Institute as possible could come and sew a bit of the tapestry. Even those who thought they couldn't sew contributed, and enjoyed it too
! The central panel shows the daffodils which are such a feature of the village in the spring.The activities which we chose out of the many things we have done in our 50 years are - games evenings, book group, walks, garden group, book group, campaign for a zebra crossing and phone box, story sacks, our cups of tea, the millennium park bench we bought, art group, drama and singing group, produce shows and eco teams
