Cross Stitch Guild Events
Cross Stitch Christmas Weekend
Friday 5th Nov-Sunday 7th Nov
The Hilton Hotel Bradford
I am very pleased to announce that our Festive Stitching Weekend will be held at the Hilton Hotel, Bradford this year. In previous years, we have had our "more northern" weekend at the hotel at Leeds City but I have not been able to book an event there this year and the staff at Hilton Bradford have been very helpful indeed.
The Hilton Hotel is a couple of minutes walk from the station and easy to find from the M62
We have managed to keep the prices the same as our last event so I hope that lots of you will take the plunge and join us for a very enjoyable weekend.
Remember that you do not have to be an expert or terribly clever - you just need to be addicted to counted embroidery and have a sense of humour!

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!
