The Kintyre Forum

All the items are all hand made by the ladies of the Craft Fair.The only items for sale were the cards, the others are all parcelled up and sent off to The Womans Missionary Fellowship were they will be sent out to Africa, Rumania or any other country in need. Some of the non clothes or framed items will be sold off to raise funds for essential items. Pictured below are two of the dozen members, Mrs Joyce baxter and Mrs Edna Paterson, both Carradale.

J.D the photographs were all really good and the knitted blanket was lovely.

I had never seen the framed wall hanging with all the names surrounding the Millenium Committee. I take it that is the residents of Carradale that is stitched inside the frame?

How about you or Gary putting a picture of that on the site. It is really interesting. Great idea.

The framed wall hanging for the Millenium year was thought up by Edna Paterson, one of the committee members. Everyone in the village signed a length of fabric, the Committee members names in the centre circle which, then the signatures were all sewn by a coloured thread. Edna had it framed and it has been in the Village Hall ever since for anyone to see.

Any idea how long it took to do???

What a great idea!

Edna completed it over roughly a 6 month period doing it in her spare time at home and whilst working in the local Post Office. As Bobbie said a great idea, but, sadly some of the named on it are not with us today.

I thought it would have been done by more than one,she has to be commended for her patience.
