The following pictures were taken by our club member Connie Sumner, on her trip out to the Neepawa Lily Festival which took place in July 2006. Our club was invited to make a display for the Festival. It was a combined club effort and we all had a lot of fun.
The lillies that were made were a combined club affort. They were originally taught at a meeting in which everyone who was able to make them did so and donated half of what they made to the project. Many members chose to make miniature lily displays so that we were able to duplicate some of the tent ideas that were displayed in real life at the Festival the display was being shown at.
We also decided to add our own version of a quilt display in which members made and donated the quilts.
Members also got together at parview Co-Op on April 8th, 2006 for an all-day workshop. Here we got to see what had already be done and what we needed to finish. It was a lot of fun and made the work so much easier for the co-ordinators.
Our display board was specially built for us by Connie's husband Elvis. |
