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.

Found this polyester fabric in Wellington N.Z. last October. Its stretchy and quite open so thought it would be interesting to felt. Decided after doing sample to put different coloured wools onto it. Turned the fabric into different coloured sections which look great to me.
