The Society also has aflourishing younger group called EYELETS, catering for children aged 6 to 16

The EYELETS meetings are mainly held during school half terms, and the Easter Holidays, when children are encouraged to experiment with different types of embroidery and related skills and techniques.

Over the last year an average of 20 children have met at each of the meetings and have made Hot Potato holders for Bonfire Night, Christmas decorations and gifts, embroidered boxes, pompom pets and stitched pictures.

The older members of the group have recently been successful in the schools group (under 16 catagory) in the Great Northern Quilt Show 2006, gaining 1st place.
