 Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening by Robert Frost

Whose woods these are I think I know. His house is in the village, though;

He will not see me stopping here To watch his woods fill up with snow.

My little horse must think it queer To stop without a farmhouse near

Between the woods and frozen lake The darkest evening of the year.

He gives his harness bells a shake To ask if there is some mistake.

The only other sound’s the sweep Of easy wind and downy flake.

The woods are lovely, dark and deep, But I have promises to keep,

And miles to go before I sleep, And miles to go before I sleep.

The next meeting of Merseyside Embroiderers’ Guild is on 18th January 2013.

In the morning from 11am – 1pm we will have a “Bring&Stitch” session, with refreshments, then lunch from 1pm – 2pm (please bring a packed lunch). From 2pm – 4pm there will be a TALK by Christine Toh titled ”Creative Fabric Printing”. Christine Toh is a local artist and exhibitor in the Liverpool Bienniel, and she will introduce us to this fascinating craft. Cost £3 members/£4 visitors. Visitors welcome.

All meetings are held in All Hallows Church Hall, Greenhill Road, Liverpool L18 6JJ.
