Craft demonstrafi�ns
at Junior WI mecting
GORRIE—The October meeting
of the Howick Junior Women's
Institute was highlighted by two
talented Wingham ladies. Lee Bray
from "Hanging by a Thread" craft
shop in Wingham and Mary Lou
Cameron, who hand paints clothes
and jewellery, each demonstrated
their specialties to the members
present.
Mrs. Bray showed the group how
figures cut from fabrics can be per-
manently applied to clothes such as
sweatshirts or blouses. A fairly sim-
ple method, using the correct mate-
rials, can result in very attractive,
unique additions to an ordinary
sweatshirt.
Mrs. Cameron displayed her
hand painted sweatshirts, T-shirts,
earrings, pins, and necklaces, all
beautifully done in a variety of
colours and shapes. Many Chri-
mas items were available, and Mrs.
Cameron actually completed a
painting on a Christmas sweatshirt
that evening. Each item is individu-
ally designed without use of pat-
terns or stencils. As she painted,
Mrs. Cameron related the experi-
ences leading up to her craft busi-
ness today.
Conveners Mary Hall and Marg
Grieg thanked the ladies for attend-
ing and presented them with a gift
of appreciation.
Roll Call for the evening was
"show or tell a simple Hallowe'en
costume or idea."
In other business, the Fashion
Show Committee reported that •a
profit was realized from this fund-
raising event. There were some
changes suggested for further
events such as this, and will be
noted in the final written report.
Other reports made were regard-
ing•the 1989 JWIO fall conference
held recently in Owen Sound, an
update on the Hallowe'en Dance,
and the final ,outcome of the dis-
play at the Howick-Turnberry Fall
Fair.
