Photos of a few of our very proud and talented members showing off their prize winning entries from the Gold Coast Show.
Well done, lovely craft work. The art of spinning,weaving, felting, knitting and crochet is vibrant on the Gold Coast.
Today at our weekly crafty fix, there was a lot going on! How unusual? Ha !!!
People were warping up looms for our hands on display at this weekends Gold Coast Show, make sure you visit the craft pavilion to see our awesome creative entries.
Other members were busy getting sock yarn, balled, hanked or tied up in knots for dying. I was quietly trying to spin when all of a sudden out of the hands of the ladies next to me, their sock yarn was all caught up in my spinning wheel, all tangled in the bobbin and caught in the band. I know I need help with my spinning, but really! It happened not once but twice, what are the odds? The culprits shall remain nameless.
Anyway the sock yarn was dyed in lovely colour gradients, well done. Be careful I may have to sabotage your knitting!

Here are the photos from the fashion parade held at our Spinners camp. All the fabulous garments handmade made by creative craft women attending the event.
At our recent Spinner’s Retreat, I taught a felted bag workshop.
Six lovely ladies created a fab bag and were very keen in the workshop. Great handbags ladies I am proud of you all.
Recently our group hosted a spinning retreat in the Gold Coast Hinterland. Everyone had a fabulous weekend.
These are the entries for the sunset hat competition. Very creative and lots of different techniques used. Well done to all that entered.
We have been knitting and crocheting all year, now all the Mudgeeraba community can enjoy the colourful trees at the Mudgeeraba Village Green
Tree bombed for the D’Arcy Doyle Art Awards, have a look at the great paintings in the hall.
As we were decorating the trees many people stopped and chatted to us and admired our tree bombing, they thought it was a fantastic project. Everyone was smiling and taking photos as they walked thru the park.
Go down there and have a look and visit the D’Arcy Doyle Art Show.
The Mudgeeraba Show was a great success for our group with an outstanding 125 entries in the Spinning, Weaving and Felting section. Lots of our members are grinning with pride after being awarded prizes. Well done to everyone that entered. The overall champion is Pam Everitt, congratulations. Feast your eyes on the gorgeous handmade crafts.
