At the Retford District MS Society Support Group’s September coffee and chat meeting, Jo, one of their members, demonstrated ‘Needle Felting’. With Jo’s guidance, several members created felt pumpkins, which were admired by the group. Thanks go to Jo for supplying the materials and giving such an interesting demonstration.
