Completed bags for holding those awkward drainage tubes
Pam & Laurel taking a break on the "sweat shop" line!
SHOW & TELL
A bit quiet this month due to everyone bringing either their sewing equipment or being stuck at home with the dreaded lurgy! But still wonderful!
Well, this wall hanging tells its own story! It was made for me by Susan, a lovely member of my weekly Monday group . It was an unexpected gift and I was quite overcome by it. It is now proudly displayed on the wall of my real shed, which I might add, looks nothing like this.
Ginny made this beaded worm for her DH to use as bait at the Monash Graduates Ball at the Melbourne Aquarium. As there was an underwater theme (what a surprise!), he requested the worm so he could catch a mermaid.
Ginny then set her talents to making this wonder coat - ab fab and full of beaded, watery themes!
Ginny - front view redundant in her splendour!!

The final triumph! An exquisitely embroidered marine themed bag - note all the beading.

Robyn's lovely new bag.
Opps!! What is my gorgeous great-neice doing in show & tell? I wonder how her photo ended up here??? At least for the purposes of show & tell she is holding her dolly wrapped in a quilt I made for Elizabeth's teddy, Mrs Honeypot, in 1996!
I would like to thank everyone on behalf of Paula for all the good work done for the BCCCC group and hope that we can repeat it next year.
Thus endeth this month's blog. Our next meeting takes place on Wednesday 5th November. Same bat time, same bat station. Different bat theme though - November will be a BAG meeting, we want to see bags you have made, been given or otherwise acquired.
until next time,
Helen Evans
