Summer....warm weather and a time for stitching those UFOs under the shade of a tree. We finished our year with a pot luck party in June.

Stitch-ins continued on a weekly basis every Tuesday afternoon, alternating Tuesdays between Ridgetown and Chatham locations, throughout the summer (and the year) for those who can attend. Our opening meeting is September 28, with a workshop at the Ridgetown Seniors' Centre from 1:00 to 4:00 pm on basic smocking techniques taught by Mary Robertson, followed by supper and our monthly meeting at 7:00 pm.

Thereafter, the meetings will take place on the 4th Tuesday of the month at St. Clair College, Thames Campus in Chatham at 7:00 pm.

Our Guild participated in a display with the Essex Weavers Guild in Albuna, Ontario on May 17, 2010.

We also had a display at the Ridgetown Festival of Porches & Verandas on July 24, 2010.
