Talk–February

Our speaker at the end of February was Christine Driver from Empress Mills. I had already heard Christine’s talk at Padiham’s branch meeting and enjoyed it even more the second time around.

Empress Mills is a family run firm and has been in existence for over 80 years producing yarns and threads. They are in Colne, Lancashire.  http://www.empressmills.co.uk/

Christine had all laughing throughout the talk. She comes to the talk ably support by her son Charles and nephew William. They do all the heavy work bringing in an amazing range of threads and fabrics for us to look at closely. These are explained in great detail and passed round for close inspection.  It is a great treat to have a shop for the night at our meeting especially on a cold, dark winter’s day. A bit of retail therapy – did us all the world of good!!
