Once again we had our Christmas Party at Alston Hall and had lots of competitions, games and prizes. Our stitching competition was won by Mary Holden for her beautiful Christmas tree.
After a delicious lunch we were treated to a lecture by Dot Wareing about the Millenium Coat which she had made.
Dot took us through the various stages of the making of the coat and showed us the many processes involved with the different parts of the garment in a slide show.
Our Chairman, Sue, being both tall and slim, modelled the coat for us ...
... receiving many admiring glances ...
... and giving us a very professional 'twirl'!
Of course, we wanted to see it up close ...
... the back in great detail ...
... and the intricate sleeves ...
A great deal of research had gone into the design of the garment and some very intricate processes involved in the making.
Dot had brought many samples to show us exactly 'how' and 'what' was involved.
Here is the winning '3-D Christmas object' which was made by one of our newer members ...
... Bernadette. Well done, Bernadette.
And here are our two Chairmen, Sue and Suzanne, who organised the day for us. Which, of course, ended with tea and cake !!!
