MEMBERS of the West Country Embroiderers from South Zeal, Belstone, Sticklepath and Okehampton joined others from the Cheriton Bishop branch to the annual WCE exhibition at Abbotsbury, Dorset. The West Devon embroiderers were able to appreciate the high standards of work on display as well as visit the nearby world famous swannery and the renowned Abbotsbury sub-tropical gardens. Meeting in Cheriton Bishop Village Hall each month the WCE branch encourages members to extend and develop their embroidery skills. In September they will be tackling Japanese braiding, and in October they will enjoy a historic embroideries day.
