As Lockdown eased in 2021, small groups of members started to meet up in gardens and gradually, as restrictions eased, indoors. New friendships have been made and a number of groups continue to meet. Some of the activities which have been enjoyed include: ice dyeing, eco printing on paper and cloth, sewing, making exploding books (with not a stitch in sight), felting fingerless gloves, getting out embellishing machines from the back of cupboards and sharing ideas and social walks at Hillier Arboretum.
