Have you got your tickets yet for the Paula Laverty talk in Cobourg, on Grenfell Mats? It's happening on April 28, and as part of her presentation, Paula will be looking at actual Grenfell Mats that folks bring in. Pictured above is a mat that our own Laurie has borrowed from a relative. It is indeed a Grenfell, and is made with stockings. It will be interesting to see what Paula has to say about it! For tickets, go to Northumberland Learning Connection.
