Tree and seat bombing

Tree bombing squares for Warm and Woolly Long Weekend in June seems a long way off, but it will be here before we know it! Time to start thinking about knitting or crocheting squares for the "Tree & Seat Bombing" project. Any size, colour or pattern. Leave your squares at the Clay Pan and they will be sewn together ready to be placed onto the trees and seat. If you have any spare wool, can you leave it at the Gallery to be used for squares? Thank you.

Tree Bombing squares activity TUESDAY and FRIDAY MORNINGS at the Fuller Gallery if you would like to join a group for a chat and a cuppa while you knit or crochet. Squares can be left at the Gallery to be sewn together, ready to be placed onto the trees and bench in front of the Gallery and the Museum.

The Bonsai group had a very enjoyable get together on the 12th to plant and prune a new Bonsai. Thankyou Raelyn & Patricia for your guidance and to Sue for the cake for morning tea.

The Sunday Sewers made the trip down the road to the Tamworth Craft Shed to attend an applique class, conducted by Jackson from the House of Jackson in Armidale. Many tips and tricks were shared by all those in attendance.

The Gallery is open from 10am to 1.30pm most days of the week. Thank you to everyone for your support of The Barraba Potters and Craft Guild.
