First though, we had a presentation of awards from Regional Day for our successful competition entrants Janice and Margaret (see below post for close-up pictures of their entries) - Janice won the Maggie Judges Floral Trophy which is a sweet Moorcroft vase that Janice gets to keep for a year, and Margaret won 3rd prize in the Coats Anchor Award.
Here they are with our Chair, Wyn.
Davina got her glamorous assistant Zelda (AKA Margaret) to hand out envelopes to us all. They contained a piece of white fabric, two shades of stranded cotton, and a piece of white ribbon; Davina then explained to us how to make "humbugs" which we could use a scissor charms or for any other purpose we could think of! Our instructions had been to bring a needle and white thread, and these were used to sew a design on the white fabric with the coloured cotton, and then to stitch up the seams of the humbug.
Here are the results of our efforts (we didn't all quite finish in the allotted time, and as you can see, we are sharing the scissors...)
