19 ladies were in attendance this morning.  The weather was not the best for hand work, but we didn't think that it was as oppressive as last week as a little breeze could be felt every now and then.

Helen was the lucky winner of the badge draw.

Brenda had another crocheted rug to show.  The pattern, using larksfoot stitch, was found on Pinterest.  She is hoping that the cooler weather shows up soon so that she can get some use out of her handiwork!  

Brenda has also finished the above Quilt which was a project from last year's Eungella Retreat.  The pattern came from Missouri Star Quilt Co and uses a jelly roll made up of owl fabric in grey and orange.  Brenda has named this quilt "Cascading Night Owls"

Anne has made the above bridal outfit from scraps in her stash.  Anne's friend was very pleased with the end result as her doll looks like a new bride.

Marion has finished the embroidery piece started on her cruise (as mentioned in last week's blog).  The bag is approx. 5" x 7" and is fully lined.  The butterfly is done using Casalguidi Embroidery.  The cord at the top and the tassels are all done by hand.  Marion hasn't decided what articles the bag will house, but she knows that she will be keeping it herself because a lot of work has gone into the project.

This is a close up photo to show the beautiful stitching involved.
