27 May 2026: Meeting - Lizzie Everard

By Clifton WI -

 

We were all abuzz with interest in May as Lizzie Everard (bettysilk.com), a former contestant in The Great British Sewing Bee (2023), talked to us about her early life, inspirations and career in sewing and needlework and her experience on the Bee.  She brought her fabulous Bee creations with her and we had the opportunity to handle them ourselves and marvel at skills and creativity.

  We had such a lovely, entertaining walk with Hidden and Haunted Bristol, in place of our typical monthly meeting! It was hot, hot, hot out there, but we pushed on and cooled off at the pub. The refreshments were well-earned, and the company was incomparable. Our next meeting will be at Alma Hall at 7.30pm on 28 August. Our speaker is from Somerset Road Safety, and he will be discussing road safety and having an interactive evening where we can all hone our skills as drivers.  As always, visitors are welcome to come along with a £5 donation, and we look forward to seeing everyone there.
