There are only three sleeps before the Huntlee Mums Easter Market. We are looking forward to seeing lots of people come out for the morning and support all the community groups involved in the day. We’ve been busy preparing quality handcrafted goods to sell and decorating our table to get into the swing of Easter.Continue reading “ONLY THREE SLEEPS”

We have lots of Women Shed members who have great skills and talents, but you really need to see the work of Kim Lundy. She finished her charcoal kookaburra this morning and wow! It’s amazing! Is it any wonder she’s having her own Solo Art Exhibition at The Hunter Artisan Gallery and Cafe in EastContinue reading “WHAT A TALENT!”

Check out our knitting, crocheting and quilting projects being worked on this week.

We’re still smiling, even after our second lesson in quilting. We speak a new language now that includes backstitching, binding, fat quarters, ditch stitching, basting and mitered corners, just to name a few. Next week Kathy will be our ‘go to’ quilter, solving any quilting problems. Some of us have already gone back to aContinue reading “THE QUILTERS’ SMILE”

We had our first lesson in quilting with lots of new members joining. Some of our ladies were very new to quilting while we also had some experienced too.

Happy Christmas to everyone from the Women’s Shed Branxton. We had our Christmas party yesterday, getting into the Christmas spirit with lots of food and fun. We enjoyed some very rummy rum balls, chocolate, ice creams, sick bon-bon jokes and Christmas music. Thank you to everyone for supporting us this year as we look forwardContinue reading “HAPPY CHRISTMAS”
