Poppies on parade at Caistor WI

Felt artist Sue Hawkmoon was welcomed to the November meeting of Caistor WI to lead a poppy workshop.

Everyone received a kit of red, black and green wool, a felting needle, sponge block to work on and a pin to secure the finished poppy.

Sue demonstrated the basic method of felting and everyone was soon busy with wool and needle and a lot of stabbing to ensure they created a poppy shape.

It proved to be an enjoyable evening, with lots og laughter and chatter along the way.

Competition winner was Rachel Grainger, with Mary Taylor second and Judith Hewis third.The December meeting will be a Christmas meal, with Secret Santa, at Caistor Lakes.
