Welcome
We meet on Monday mornings from 10 am to 12 noon in the Church Room.
It is a friendly gathering where we bring our craft and share our skills with each
other. You do not have to be an expert, we are all finding we can do new things!
Do come and try us!

“Dear all,
Fr Geoff thought it would be a good idea, if I presented to the group at Crafty
Saints the proposal of making blankets for those who will need it in our area
during the winter season.
I am very pleased to announce that, after proposing it to the group, they agree to
commit themselves to make some blankets. These blankets would also include pet
blankets.
It seems that the consensus is that they might make little squares which then will
be sewn together, and also produce some already made blankets. I thought it could
be something worth alerting the Mayor of Huntingdon of our offer so that they can
distrubute them, but if we ended up having some blankets left, we could always
donate them to the food bank whom, I’m sure, will give it a good home.
Due to the on-going projects that we are undergoing at the moment for the season
of Advent and Christmas, we thought that it could be a good idea to open up this
initiative to anyone in the congregation who so wants to participate (either by
making a square or making a whole blanket). We are giving ourselves until the
beginning of October to be able to offer a few blankets.
The patterns that we will use are the ones offered below:
In Christ,
Fr Sam”
