I'm so very,very sad to be sharing this post. I've worked with the Virtual Village Hall almost from the start and I've loved every minute of it. Its been my happy space, a place for me to share my love of crafting and a way of making new friends.

Thank you so much to the team behind Virtual Village Hall for making it such a lovely place to be and we will miss you

The last live session will take place on 11th September.
