Two lady residents of Bradley Stoke met casually at a Patchwork and Quilting Exhibition at Radstock, Somerset and lamented the lack of an organised sewing group in the town.
Bradley Stoke Library kindly hosted a display of quilts in January 2013 and together with adverts placed on the Town Council notice boards and in the library, a meeting was convened to assess the level of interest in starting a local group.
Bradley Stoke Sew and So's now meet on the third Monday of each month.
Stitchers of all abilities share their skills, the more experienced helping those less so.

One member joined the group to finish a patchwork quilt that her mother had started many years ago and another rescued her sewing machine from under the stairs where it had been for several years; she had it serviced and quickly completed two projects.
The aim of the group is to develop and further members' skills and enjoyment in all aspects of patchwork and quilting and associated crafts. We invite guest speakers and visit exhibitions, quilt shops etc when possible.
