Another very busy Wednesday today at OCT. We are making plans for our stall at the CWA Christmas fair, so a lot of discussion. Still, we still managed to fit some sewing and craft into the afternoon.

Another great Wednesday sewing at CWA. Our numbers are still down thanks to that horrible flu! If you are unwell, thank you for staying away, we hope you get well soon enough to join us again! We welcomed Vavara back from spending time with her family in Greece. Rememberance Day is fast approaching and some of our ladies are making poppies, they look great too!

A very much quieter group today, a lot of us are still fighting this terrible flu that has knocked us for a six! We did manage to celebrate Dianne's 90th birthday and welcomed three new sewers. Hope you enjoyed your first Wednesday with us.

Another happy day sewing, laughing, chatting and eating. Jenny is working on her hexagon quilt , Yvonne's son will be looking very flash as he dances with the celebrities, Bayzu is happy with her shortened dress, Joan's chicken scratch cushion covers are fabulous, Pauline is embellishing her scrap blocks with embroidery, Jan joined us for the 1st time today to cut out a dress and Kerry has kicked off our contribution to Operation Secret Santa NT with some placemats using a donated quilted fabric from Trish.
A big thankyou to Fung, who ran a workshop on making a segmented fabric bowl...photo of the finished bowls next week.

Happy sewing everyone ❤️

Wednesday and we all still agog with Frocktails ... actually not really, we decided to wear our Frocktails outfits to show those who could not attend last Saturday night. Some very busy people too working on their own projects.
