The crop meets as usual 10am to 4pm at the Isabella Centre in Blyth Northumberland.

All crafters are welcome from those that do scrapbooks and card making to cross stitchers, knitters, lacemakers, quilters and spinners.

There is a supply of equipment for papercrafting (silhouette and diecutting machines, large selection of dies, inks, stamps, heat gun etc) along with a non profit making shop which has basic stash (12x12 papers, glues, tapes, sticky dots, ribbons, etc.)

Costs are £4 for half a day or £8 for a full day which includes tea and coffee.

Come along and spend a day with a friendly group who love crafting and can be a good source of crafting tips and ideas.
