Magnetic Island Ladies come for lunch...

Yesterday at Fibres we had the Magnetic Island ladies come over for their biannual visit.  It's always a much anticipated visit, with lots of catching up, chatting, laughing and of course eating!!  And I've forgotten show and tell.  Below are photos of some of the ladies with some of the show and tell.  No photos of the food, needless to say it was yummo and plentiful and a lot of us didn't have tea last night!
I must apologise, I neglected to get the name of the lady from Magnetic Island who did the show and tell. If someone can let me know so I can add her name to the photos that would be great.  I have been reliably informed it was Kitty C. doing the show and tell for Magnetic Island, so I have adjusted the necessary photos below.  Thanks

Show and Tell for May

Here are some of the items that have been at Fibres for show and tell over the month of May.  The members certainly produce some wonderfully creative works.
