11th Soutern Hemishere Felting Convergance 2011

Well its all over, being on the committee was very inspiring and very satisfiying when it was all over, because it was a great success all around. It was especially nice to catch up with people I had not seen for years but had met them at previous convergences, lovely to see them here in W.A.
Quite a few come over on the train which they thoroughly enjoyed.
