Christmas Event News!

7th-9th November 2008

Sorry Fully Booked

This weekend filled up in ten days but we are taking names for the waiting list.

We have managed to arrange a Christmas Stitching Weekend at the Hilton Hotel, Newbury North. (very near junction 13 of the M4). Hilton Special Events have worked very hard behind the scenes to get this weekend sorted for us and we are really thrilled as this is a very busy time of year in hotels,being the beginning of the Christmas party season.

If you have never attended one of our events this might be the perfect opportunity - whether you come alone or with a friend you will have a wonderful time. Have a look at comments on the Forum - you can see what I mean!

Our weekend begins with a drinks reception at 7pm Friday night and ends with lunch on Sunday. Prices include two drinks receptions, dinner, bed and breakfast for two nights, light lunch on Saturday, roast lunch on Sunday, all tuition, classes and materials. This is a very special rate for this weekend - I cannot promise that we will beable to repeat this in 2009! There may be additional car park charges - something over which we have no control (I will try to get details before the event)

Events & Classes 2009

We are in the process of negotiating with Hilton Hotels in order to offer four Together We Stitch Weekends in 2009 and as soon as I have some dates and venues, the information will be posted here. Our hotel events in 2008 are all full with waiting lists, so you know that they are popular!

Together We Stitch Event - 2

Our weekends take place within the hotels so the accommodation is of a high standard, with added attractions such as swimming pools. Your level of skill doesn't matter - the weekends are designed to cater for all levels of ability and experience. Our weekends include themed stitching projects, demonstrations, discussions, problem-solving sessions, competitions, prizes and shopping.

Jane Greenoff's Linen Classes at Pinks Barn

My linen classes are intended for all skill levels and abilities, with the projects selected to develop existing skills and also perhaps to learn new ones. Classes include hemstitching and Hardanger and I always offer a choice of fabrics with your eyesight in mind. As with all our CSG events, my classes are not intended to be competitive and everyone has chance to work at their own speed. All classes are limited to ten people and are very informal. All you need to bring is the correct glasses and a sense of humour!

Prices are per person and include coffee, tea and biscuits, light lunch with wine, all materials and tuition. The fee is taken in full when you reserve a place.

We can supply a list of B&B venues if you would like to make a weekend
of it! Contact us form more information.
