Guild of Machine Knitters AGM 2018

Six members attended the Guild AGM on the  8th June 2018.  We were given a display space in the foyer with two other Southern Clubs and set up the display of member’s work. This looked great and we had many compliments. 

In addition, six members had worked on the Sherbourne Vase entry this year which had to be three or more cushion covers linked by a theme.

Our’s depicted scenes from the story of Goldilocks and the Three Bears and we were the only club who had a highly commended entry.  The winners cushions were a set of four seasonal pictures with a sheep and a tree – a nice design, the backs had some garter stitch lettering.  

3 cushion covers
Bookham’s Entry for the Sherbourne Vase. Highly Commended

Overall we had a jolly time and chatted to members of other clubs and looked at the displays.

After lunch and the formal AGM section, there was a talk by Nick Traylen from Uppingham Yarns who talked about the large range of fibres now available.
