Hi Everyone,
Today we held a workshop on making crowns which was a lot of fun. Thanks Deb T for organising this for us all to enjoy.
At HHQ’s we are a diverse group and you always find out something new when talking to members. One of our newest members Courtney has found out her Pussyhat is on display at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London. Courtney is one of thousands to knit and wear a Pussyhat during the 2017 Women’s March protesting the US President in New York City, USA.

Drum roll please! Suzie L suggested we revamp our show rosettes and accepted the mission. With the help from Sue B who did the machine embroidery - all I can say is wow they look amazing. I even wore white gloves to handle them and placed them back in the protective bags straight after Show & Tell. Thank you Suzie and Sue for all you had work.👏
