Fabric, Fibre and Fun

The Easter exhibition by Knit 'n' Natter and the Patchwork Group seems a long time ago but it's well worth sharing with you now. These clever creators put on a wonderful display in the Community Centre foyer and they can all be very proud of their achievements.

Fabric, Fibre and Fun exhibition over Easter Weekend

There were some items for sale but most were for display only and showcased the variety of creations that can be made whilst enjoying each other's company. It's not easy sourcing fabrics and wools here but in typical island fashion they are dab hands at using what's available. Great work!!
