Here comes Christmas
A huge thank you to Marie Kennedy who used her expert craft skills to enable members to produce a unique Christmas picture present. Marie had prepared packs of materials containing paper leaves, flowers and gift cards, which together with a board and coloured background paper formed the basis of the picture.
Pictured: Marie displaying some of her own beautiful craft work. MHWI members Jacquie Petch and Sarah Dyson with their finished picture presents.
