Fruity Footsteps

Fruity Footsteps

Get your five a Day!

From Easter Sunday, The Good Yarners and Mystery Stitchers invite you to get some steps in and enjoy an art trail around Brandwood and Billesley neighbourhoods. Maybe discover five post boxes a day over three days!

On the art trail you’ll find 15 original fruit and veg themed crafted post box toppers! A great way to get outside and entertain the children. 

All artworks crafted with love. All displays in place at time of publishing (except no. 2 – which will join us by 9/10 April).

The Mystery Stitchers

This craft group meets on the third Thursday of the month, 2-4pm at Billesley Ark. Just turn up. The crafters joined in the Fruity Footsteps craft campaign, but usually runs separately. At this you can bring your own craft projects or make and take home something different each time. Small charge towards room hire and materials. Free refreshments.

A typical session!

In the Good Yarners projects we work towards themed craft displays, but the tools people choose to use is up to them!
