A Merry Meeting in May

Here we are again, Dear Reader with an update on the on-going saga of the 'Preparation for the Exhibition'.
Not quite so many Maids at this month's meeting but we had a great time and once again some really awesome work has been produced. 






Skin/Covering



 

We have a stunning peacock inspired one. a beautiful, blue fishy one. a super dressing up with a lovely 3D dress one ( I think it was a Great British Sewing Bee moment Sue), an amazing volcanic visitation one and a creepy dinosaur/lizard/crocodile one.
Chris once again spent most of the day taking photographs - she is tireless! Thank you Chris.
Our sales table this month took on a particularly green hue with several plants for sale. Maids left the meeting clutching their Cosmos, Verbena, Borage, Amberboa, Echium, Ipomoea and Runner Bean plants.
You may remember that we are collecting money to buy one or more sewing machines to send to Africa and our little sales table each month is slowly getting us there. There will be an opportunity to donate to this very worthwhile cause at our exhibition and I hope people with help us to help communities struggling against the odds. It will be great to think that while we are using our machines in Fraddon someone half a world away will be  using a machine we have provided them so that they can provide for their family.
No more challenges now, just completing those unfinished ones and re-doing those that are not quite the business. It really is an exciting time.
If you have been following us on our (sorry Debbie) journey, you may think you have seen it all and don't need to come to Heartlands in September but, Dear Reader you would be wrong.
 So, check the dates in your diary - September 20th -26th Heartlands, Pool, Redruth, and remember - you ain't seen nothing yet!
Thanks for reading
Margaret
