FINAL CRAFT DAY 2011

It was business as usual on the last craft day of  2011.
There was much discussion about where the time has gone !



A lot of loose ends were being tied up......

and lots of light hearted chatter too.
We've all enjoyed eachother's company through a very productive year.



Some projects to finish and some finalised for the year.

Rugs galore

 

Cuddly bears

Some works in progress

and lots of finishes.

Then came the Christmas project that Trish, Liz and Val were teaching us.
Some finished....

and some nearly there.

Then it was time for Show and Tell.

Love and Care quilts

and other lovely quilts.

A great end to a very productive year.

See you on 10th February,  2012

FINAL SOCIAL DAY and COOKING COMPETITION

Where has the year gone?

Last Thursday was the last Social Day of the year and also the day of the branch Cooking Competition.



Everyone was there early, settling into their preferred group activity.

The entries in the Cooking Competition were submitted to the Judge's scrutiny ....

carried out very capably by Eunice. She had quite an audience while she explained the technicalities.

The entries looked fanntastic!

There were cakes of all types

and shortbread too.

The fun part was the Iced Cup Cake section
where the Christmas theme drew many entries.

Somw very clever ones....

... and the winner of this year's trophy ......

........................
...........

TA DAH !!!

Very clever indeed !!


Later in the day Christine recounted the presentation of the quilt to Marian Mudra as a retirement gift.
This quilt is made up of flower blocks from all over the state.

It was presented at the recent Conference and very gratefully received by Marian.

It is an absolute work of art.

One of our members, Linda, who is an absolute whiz at quilting did a huge amount of the  preparation and final finishing ....

and our contribution was this ribbon embroidery creation by Ellen who is rapidly earning a wonderful reputation for her beautiful handwork.
