Bits and Bobs

Anne with Margaret and the log book cover Margaret made for her on behalf of all at Fibres.

This is the detail on the cover which Margaret D made for Anne and Michael T's log book to take along on their sailing journey. The log book and a waterproof satchel in which to store it were presented to Anne last week (see previous post).  We all wish you the best adventures, lots of excitement and beautiful times. Have a safe trip!

Val's been using the embellishing machine to great effect and has made some stunning pieces.

And, Arlene's embroidery continues to be an inspiration. Congratulations, Arlene, on winning 7 places at the Townsville Show. Click on the link to Arelene's name under the heading  MEMBERS' BLOGS in the right hand column of this blog to link to some photos of her winning work.

Farewell morning tea for Anne

Today we held a lovely farewell morning tea for Anne, who is off in a couple of weeks with her husband Michael to sail around Australia.  As a gift the group gave her a Sailing log, and watertight bag and socks.  Joy sang a wonderful ditty for us, but we all joined in on the chorus....  we will miss you buddy......

Magnetic Island ladies visit - Show and Tell

Last Wednesday we had about 20 ladies visit us from Magnetic Island. We met them at the ferry terminal and ushered them back to the Belgian Gardens Scout Den, where we had a feast of food awaiting, and loads of friendship and chatting.  Here is us all waiting patiently for the proceedings to start.

We had Faye from Magnetic Island do the honors for showing their work, and Barbara showed off ours.  This photo shows some of the Magnetic Island ladies work.

And here is Barbara with Mary showing some of our work, in fact it's Mary's bags their showing off.

We reluctantly drove the ladies back to the ferry terminal, after spending a wonderful day together, my first of many I hope.

Some Eye Candy!

On the left is Sharyn's jacket and scarf after she'd so effectively 'embellished' it with rust at the rustathon day.

On the right are the ATC's which were swapped at the last Bookies group meeting.

Above is Selena's concertina book (made before she became addicted to paper weaving or we know it would've been woven!)

And below early members, Sharyn and Gai, welcome founder member Dana to our Wednesday meeting.

Paper Weaving

Bookies group had lots of fun learning to weave two images together to form a new complex picture. Pictured below, Marion shared the skill, assisted by Barb.

Members of the group set about the task with enthusiasm and here are some of the results.

Thank you Marion and Barb. We all enjoyed ourselves very much.

Tea Leaves - an exhibition by one of our own!

See you there!
