Saturday
18th May
The charity day is always a day when you
can sit back, relax, sew and eat cake.
That is exactly what we did!
Although the weather wasn’t the best we had a good turnout and the kits
were very popular with a sell out on the bags and needle cases.
The day began with Helen and Maria
organising a background for the tie competition and the design was put together
with the help of Sheila to plait it to the celtic shape required. Not an easy job but looked great when put
together. We all now need to make charm
brooches to pin on it with sewn emblems along the chosen theme of ‘ties that
bind us’.
In other parts of the room the bag kits
where underway, some hand sewn, others machine sewn. Needle cases were being decorated with stitch
and buttons as well as a few choosing to bring their own sewing to do.
The buffet for lunch went down a treat so
a big thank you to anyone who contributed to the lovely spread.
The raffle was boosted with prizes
donated from two local companies, namely Joan’s Wools and Crafts and Bon
Fabrics. Local support is always well
received and much appreciated. Rachael
was our raffle ticket seller, who did GCSE revision in between selling
tickets. I am sure she would rather have
been sewing!
The day went all too quickly, as they
always do, but I am very pleased to announce that the total to date is £250.50!
A huge massive thank you to Sue Carine
for putting all the kits together, to the girls who unpicked the quilt and
pressed the pieces ready for action, and to all the members for supporting us
on the day or sent donations. Our
charity will appreciate the amount raised, which will go towards their fund for
arts and crafts materials. Well done
everyone.
Thank you all for your continued support.
