OUR meeting in June was with Julie Brand of Tigley Textiles. This was a fascinating evening with Julie explaining how Tigley Textiles evolved along with showcasing some of her beautiful work. As well as doing her own work and commissions, she holds workshops and some of her students (including members from our own WI) also brought samples of their work; many had personal stories leading to their creations and it was lovely to share those memories in such a creative way. We are extremely lucky to have such locally talented people! Later in the evening, members were reminded of the Coffee Morning in Pershore, lunch at The Bell and our river cruise in August.

Our next meeting is on Wednesday 5 July (Village Hall 7.30pm) with Croome Cuisine. Visitors welcome £4.

We have some exciting things planned so keep a look out on our website www.eckingtonwi.weebly.com or follow us on Facebook.
