THE GUILD SYLLABUS 2011 / 2012

Braemar & Crathie Parish Guild

SYLLABUS 2011 / 2012
.

2011

Over the next 6 months, can we work together to produce a craft panel dedicated to our Parish? Whether you can sew, knit, crochet or cut out shapes, you can contribute! We could also make some items for sale, and prepare boxes for Shoebox Appeal if you like. Or maybe you have your own ideas – something for everyone to do.
A busy hour to share talents and tales!
