Our group today was smaller in number owing to school holidays and the up coming long weekend. Although we had fewer attending there was still plenty to do and to show. The hand quilting on our Traditional raffle quilt has been completed and Grace has kindly taken the quilt to choose a binding fabric.
Elva showed us a completed knitted outfit consisting of a beanie hat and jumper for the Fish & Chip babies. The outfits are sent to any crisis area in the world. New born babies are being called “Fish & Chip” babies because they are sent home from hospital wrapped in newspaper for warmth.
3rd - 5th November at St Joseph’s Kincumber. Payment for the Retreat must be made no later than 20th October.
