Weird day for the ladies of HML -sort of living in parallel universes. While Beck was judging Fringe Furniture I was judging the Veterans Affairs Craft Awards at the Austin Repat Hospital Red Cross Centre.
It's one of those once-a-year occasions I've really come to look forward to (this year is my 3rd!) It's the only volunteering job I do at the moment and I see it as a great honour.
Like all hobby craft it swings from the sublime to the,er, eccentric...
One of my favourite makers is May Brown who enters the most amazing creations every year. Her Party Penguins came complete with streamers and balloons! Sadly her work is never for sale, I'm considering a commission...
I was very taken with this Frenchy chic quilt...
And this simple embroidered tablecloth...
And of course there are always a couple of magnificent model boats.
