Many of you reading this will have spent a day at this year’s New Forest Show in July. Did you visit the WI marquee? If you did I’m sure you will have been impressed by the vast array of beautiful items on display. The theme for entries this year was “Wonderfully Wild” and our clever BEWI members entered into the spirit producing items as diverse as “Knit a wild animal” to “Wildly arranged flowers”. One that attracted substantial entry was to produce a child’s quilt for Southampton’s Hospital Paediatric Intensive Care Unit. These
charming quilts are now doing their job and hopefully lifting spirits for very sick children.
So a round of applause was well deserved last night at our monthly meeting for our inventive, imaginative and nibble fingered members – well done.
